Kaboom: An Audio Adventure Podcast BYUradio

Alicia didn't even want a quinceañera party, but her best friend Sarah forced her into it. Worst of all, the big present from her aunt is a creepy doll. But what her aunt failed to mention is that it is a magical doll that is determined to create the quinceañera of Alicia's dreams, even if it destroys both the party and her friendship with Sarah.

After this episode we will take a few weeks off and return with a hilarious new series that will run all summer long called Quentin Manning: Detective for Justice. It's about the loveable underdog Quentin Manning and his enthusiastic, if sometimes misguided, attempts to solve mysteries at his middle school. Look for a Quentin Manning trailer in this feed soon!

Gabriela has been training hard for her big skateboard competition, but it's at the same time she promised to help her scientist mom unveil her latest invention—a machine that can divide living things into two separate entities.

This adventure was written by Miriam Arce and directed by Brian Tanner. The cast included Dalyn Diaz as Gabriela, Gabby, and Ella Ramos, Sam Smith as Noah, Melanie Cook and Chris Cook as Gabriela’s parents Laura and Michael, and Devin "Supertramp" Graham as the skateboarding event announcer.
