    DOUBLE LOVE POM POM WARS PART ONE

    DOUBLE LOVE POM POM WARS PART ONE

    Having quit the cheerleading squad at the end of the last book, Jessica is facing an existential crisis. What is she if not a cheerleader? Luckily she won't have to find out. With Ken's encouragement, she starts her own rival squad, and a whole lot of familiar - and surprising! - names attempt to join it. Liz of course has no interest - but then Jessica, who has discovered her twin's sensational secret diary, makes her an offer she can't refuse... This is one of the most popular books in Sweet Valley history among you listeners, and we can see why - it's got us shaking our pom poms in delight! Also!

    DOUBLE LOVE: JESSICA QUITS THE SQUAD PART 2

    DOUBLE LOVE: JESSICA QUITS THE SQUAD PART 2

    We're back in Sweet Valley High, and the tension between Jessica and newcomer Heather just keeps on building. The sneaky newcomer constantly undermines her co-captain - and it looks like most of the squad, newly obsessed with making it to nationals, are being won over by Heather's lavish gifts of megaphone pins and flashy new uniforms! When Heather boots two veterans off the squad, Jessica declares war - but will she win this battle? Meanwhile Liz continues to mope about Ken - and takes out her frustrations on her (for once) innocent twin. Also!

    DOUBLE LOVE LIVE! NO PLACE TO HIDE

    DOUBLE LOVE LIVE! NO PLACE TO HIDE

    Break out your bag on cans, don your best silk blouse because we are live at the Podcast Studios! Join us and special guest Amy Clarkin (don't forget to vote for her in the Irish Book Awards) to discuss the stupidest SVH thriller yet. When the twins inexplicably bring Nicholas Morrow along on their work outing, he meets a beautiful, constantly weeping girl called Barbara, who dresses like a Victorian ghost. They of course fall instantly in love - but Barbara is staying with her strict uncle who forbids her from socialising. She tells Nicholas to stay away for his own safety - but you can guess how he reacts to that! Meanwhile the twins, who are still interning at the Sweet Valley News, find their assignments have connections with Barbara's plight... Also!

    DOUBLE LOVE: JESSICA QUITS THE SQUAD PART ONE

    DOUBLE LOVE: JESSICA QUITS THE SQUAD PART ONE

    We're back! And it's time to get your pom poms out, because after all the ludicrous werewolves and creepy predator fiancés and fake kidnappings, we're back in Sweet Valley High itself for an old-fashioned cheerleading romp. Jessica's happiness at getting together with Mr Peanutbutter - we mean Ken – is spoiled by the arrival of glamorous new girl Heather Mallone. Heather's a cheerleading champion, and while the other girls warmly welcome her to the SVH squad, Jessica feels threatened. Can she stand up to Heather and her "funky hip hop" moves? Meanwhile, someone isn't happy about Jessica's new relationship - Liz! Yes, the secret diary is canon now, and Liz is haunted by her own secret romance with Ken... Also!

    SPECIAL EPISODE: PBA ON THE WAR OF THE POM POMS

    SPECIAL EPISODE: PBA ON THE WAR OF THE POM POMS

    We may still be on holiday but that doesn't mean you have to go another week with no Sweet Valley nonsense in your ears! In anticipation of the 'Winners and Losers' cheerleading trilogy, we're sharing the episode of our bonus series Pi Beta Alpha in which we recapped the TV series' attempt to adapt the series in one short episode. Brace yourselves - our favourite himbo is making his on screen debut this week! But hang on, surely that Seinfeld-dressalike can't be Ken Matthews?! Alas the casting of Karyn's beloved quarterback leaves a lot to be desired, but there's still much to enjoy in this week's ep, as new girl Heather Malone implausibly becomes co-captain of the cheerleaders and Jessica forms a rival team with a little help from "flashy" Lila. Meanwhile Liz is dodging Ken - and not because she shares our horror at this imposter.

Love this podcast!!

It’s been so much fun reliving the absurd (and often super-problematic!😳) Sweet Valley High series with these two fabulous hosts!!

If, like me, you used to sleep over at a friend’s house just to wake up early and devour her insane collection of SVH books, you will absolutely LOVE Double Love!!

Brilliant!

Edit: I joined Pi Beta Alpha. I tried watching the series (twice) but I can’t get past episode six. I have never supported a podcast. I don’t care about any of that. I can not get enough of these two. I wish they released a four hour episode daily.
My beloved cat passed away a bit ago and I went on a relisten of some of the episodes. Anna’s voices had me busting out laughing, in public, even though I’d heard the episode before and was otherwise sad.

I love these girls. They are hilarious. Anna and Karyn perfectly recap and discuss the strange and terrifying world of Sweet Valley. They make me laugh hysterically every episode and now I’ve gone back to reread the series so that I can be ready when they recap. Oh, and now I think in the Margo voice sometimes. Like every time someone says soon. Anna and Karyn are what perfection sounds like.

Great Podcast

I love this podcast! I found it when searching for something to listen to while I’m at work.

It’s very entertaining and the hosts have good banter and a lot of knowledge about the series.
