    DOUBLE LOVE: THE TREASURE OF DEATH VALLEY PART ONE

    DOUBLE LOVE: THE TREASURE OF DEATH VALLEY PART ONE

    Pack your rucksacks and fill your single water bottle, we're heading to Death Valley! Yes, having all placed highly in an essay competition which we can only assume some of them were forced to enter at gunpoint, the twins, Todd, Ken, Bruce and Heather are hiking through the desert without any adult supervision. It all sounds absolutely hellish and not just because Liz is in full good girl bossy mode. But the gang's squabbles are forgotten when they find a bag of possibly cursed gold nuggets in a disused mineshaft...

    DOUBLE LOVE: V FOR VICTORY PART TWO

    DOUBLE LOVE: V FOR VICTORY PART TWO

    Don your curly blonde wig and bring your mauve blusher, Todd, Ken and Winston (or rather Tilda, Kendall and Winnie) are all dragged up and ready to sneak into the CHRLDR compound! Some really do like it hot, and Ken in particular is loving his delightful new look. He and Todd are determined to win back the twins - but will they get the sticky end of the lollipop? Meanwhile Heather's secret is out and the SVH girls are determined to make a cheering comeback. If only they could spell... Shake your pom-poms in tribute, because it's the end of the cheerleading trilogy. Rah rah rah!

    FROM HERE TO SWEET VALLEY PART 3

    FROM HERE TO SWEET VALLEY PART 3

    Like Margo and Nora before her, Karyn has headed west to California so there's no new ep this week! But we do have the third installment of Anna's unhinged 2002 fanfic, From Here to Sweet Valley, which I think we can all agree is a more realistic depiction of the twins' adult lives than Sweet Valley Confidential. Liz reaches out to an old friend, Jessica has worrying thoughts about Bruce, and Winston attempts to flee his terrifying wife Lila. Listen to a sample here, and follow the link in the show notes to read more.

    DOUBLE LOVE: V FOR VICTORY PART 1

    The SVH cheerleaders are heading to Yosemite! Yes, Jessica and Heather's combined teams have reached Nationals, and the battle to be the best cheerleaders in the entire country. But after Heather encounters a familiar face at the cheerleading compound, things start to go horribly wrong.... Meanwhile Todd and Ken head off on an ill-planned roadtrip to win back their girlfriends, press-ganging Winston en route, Annie makes a show of herself and Mr Collins tries to keep the peace.

    DOUBLE LOVE: THE POM POM WARS PART TWO

    DOUBLE LOVE: THE POM POM WARS PART TWO

    Remember the Pom Pom Wars? Neither do we! Yes, it's been a while since we checked in on the rival Sweet Valley cheerleading squads but don't worry, we'll give you a quick reminder of the last book before we find out what happens when Jessica's new squad make their impressive public debut. Are you ready for a cheer-off? Meanwhile a lovesick Liz channels Margo, Mr Collins and Enid (they exist!) give sensible advice that is completely ignored, and Ken proves he's the best person in Sweet Valley (unless you're poor forgotten Terri we suppose).

    DOUBLE LOVE: RETURN OF THE EVIL TWIN PART TWO

    DOUBLE LOVE: RETURN OF THE EVIL TWIN PART TWO

    Don your blonde wig, pop in your blue green contact lenses, and have a little rummage in your portable Wakefield wardrobe, it's time to return to The Return of the Evil Twin! Nora and Margo have teamed up at last - and luckily the denizens of Sweet Valley are as dozy as ever because within days the Chapelle sisters are successfully impersonating the Wakefield twins. Have you learned nothing, Ned and Alice? The dynamic duo swiftly cause trouble between Liz and Jess - but tensions arise when it becomes clear that Nora and Margo both have the same twin in their sights. And as for the Voice? Well, it gets a very confusing story arc of its own! The second half of the greatest book ever written is even better than the first.

Every time OTG (Old Timey Gangster) is mentioned and the girls do the voice it increases my enjoyment by 137%

Best podcast ever made. Ever. The end.

Look. I don’t know what possessed me to search for SVH in the podcasts app one day last August but I’m so glad I did - I listened to the latest one and then went back to the beginning and in just 4 months managed to catch up in time for Margo (gone, but never forgotten).

No other podcast has made me actually cry with laughter. It’s the only thing that can get me through the working day. I sit and chuckle away at my desk. I care not.

It never gets old and I look forward to new episodes like… a lot. I look forward to them a lot.

When I’m listening I feel like I’m hanging out with my best friends… So many things that I relate to as a 90s kid. I’m glad to find out that I am not the only one who was disproportionally afraid of spontaneous human combustion as a child. I’m thoroughly enjoying re-reading these insane books. Hosepipes amuse me infinitely more than they ever did before.
This podcast is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you, our wonderful Irish queens, may it never end.

Can’t believe I’ve only just found this!!

I was a MASSIVE SVH fan, collected all the books (and the subsequent damage to my mental health, lol!) from the age of 10 to…well, I did re-read them all when I was about 31! I am currently listening to an average of 3 of these a day on my commute, they are INCREDIBLE, at one point I had to get off the tube as I was guffawing (Sandy Bacon - it used to DISGUST me too!)

I’m only up to the first Christmas special, I’m so glad I have so many more to go and am already slightly dreading this being over…

Best podcast ever. Except I can’t get “this is how it’s always beeeeen…” out of my head. Every morning, every night, there it is!
