''VeggieTales'' is a popular 3D animated Christian children's series made by BigIdea that started in 1993, and has sold over 10 million videos. Due to the popularity of the series, BigIdea made many promotions to promote upcoming episodes/events, '''one of these promotions being radio interviews'''. CDs were sent to certain radio stations, which contained pre-recorded responses for the interviews, songs from the episode they were promoting, sound bites from said episode, and radio spots made to promote the episode.

Due to information being incredibly limited, only 18 of these radio discs are known to exist, the latest being the ''Gideon: Tuba Warrior'' Radio Disc. Eight of these discs have made their way online, however.
