Fun podcast

I used to love the Choose Your Own Adventure books and this podcast just brings back all that nostalgia! I enjoy the vast difference in the choice making between the hosts!

Da best

Abby is funnier than your mom and even that one uncle.

Delightfully silly & serious

What a delight! Hosts Peter and Abby combine silly hijinks with serious, thoughtful insights into each particular book and the series overall. It’s a blast reliving my youth with these two.

Fun revisit of a beloved series

Hi, I’m [name redacted] and I’m [sort of] a librarian. I read as many of these books as I could find when I was a kid and it’s fun and nostalgic to revisit them. I was drawn to the weird, out of left field sci-fi and fantasy elements, and to the low-key horrific deaths these books would suddenly throw at you. I always kept my finger between the pages of the last fork in the road, in case I made the wrong choice. Love the gentle, goofy, midwestern vibe in my ear when I’m at work or commuting.

A fun time at the library!

Library kids, unite! I spent way too much time reading and rereading all the Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, and librarians Peter and Abby are the perfect guides to help me relive all the wackiness that happened in them. If you choose to have a great time hanging with your new podcast friends, press play. If not, your story ends here. (But press play!)

These two are hilarious!

I read these books as a kid and never thought twice about how completely crazy they were—but Peter and Abby point out all the weirdness, inconsistencies, and just plain oddities of these adventures in a hilarious way. After listening to these two I find myself seriously wondering about my childhood reading preferences.

When will you be covering the Lone Wolf series? Inquiring minds want to know.
