This Duckburg Life is a scripted audio series produced by Disney Television Animation. It was released on platforms including YouTube and DisneyNOW on March 29, 2021, just two weeks after DuckTales ended its run, and ran for seven episodes, concluding on May 10, 2021. Set up as a parody of This American Life, the podcast is hosted by Huey Duck as he talks about all the strange things happening in Duckburg. All the voice actors from the series reprise their roles. Every episode ends with Huey asking Donald to read the credits, composed of the actual crew, and getting annoyed at the abundance of names. As an in-joke, Donald would get ticked off upon reading Tony Anselmo's name, with him taking issue towards his mere existence.

Trivia[]
- Due to Webby addressing Scrooge as "Uncle Scrooge" during the first episode, the series most likely takes place before the events of "The Last Adventure!".
- While the title is a play on real life radio program/podcast This American Life, it is also meant to be a parody of Welcome to Night Vale.
- The Hand of Hammurabi, which Dewey & Louie find in "Adventure Calls", bears a resemblance to the Infinity Gauntlet from Marvel Comics.
- "The Framing of Flintheart Glomgold" reveals that Mark Beaks was born in 1989.
