I have never loved a podcast like I’ve loved Double Love. Anna and Karyn are hilarious and I love their banter. Their recaps of both the books and the show (PBA member checking in!) are a lovely escape from the everyday grind. I have gotten so podcast burnt out over the last few years; however,...Read full review »

Fair play ladies, making me laugh out loud on the subway looking mental. A great trip down memory lane. So great to reminisce on these amazingly great / questionable books with the Irish humor thrown in.

This show is incredible-you MUST give it a try if you have ever read these books in the 80s or 90s. The hosts are fun & entertaining. Their character descriptions alone were making me laugh out loud. How were any of these characters or storylines plausible to me as a kid? 😂

If the Wakefield Twins and the denizens of Sweet Valley have been living rent-free in your head since the 80s and 90s, this show is for you. Sure, you’ve filled your heart and mind with more ~edifying~ literature since then, but it is also a true fact that you have been scared away from cocaine...Read full review »

This is one of my favourite podcasts. Anna and Karyn have fantastic, comedic chemistry and their recaps are always in-depth, entertaining and insightful as well as hilarious. There’s a lot of reflective 80s and 90s nostalgia in their content too. Well worth your time!

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!!

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

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...Read full review »

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.

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...Read full review »

This podcast is my absolute favourite. I look forward to the episodes and thoroughly enjoy the friendship between Anna and Karyn as they give their own perspective to SVH - one which I wholeheartedly agree with. The PBA episodes are hilarious and I love how descriptive Karyn and Anna are when...Read full review »

As someone who was thoroughly obsessed with the Sweet Valley High books as a preteen, this podcast is so much fun! New episodes dropping are a highlight of my week. I’m already starting to have anxiety about that inevitable day when they’ve finally recapped ALL the SVH books and the podcast ends....Read full review »
Lcf328 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/23
Just started binging this show and I love it so much! Read the books as a kid and like a lot of people I'm just now realizing how INSANE they are. Also it's such a delight to get an Irish perspective on a lot of the books' weird details about U.S. life (though to be fair a lot of that...Read full review »
nelsonsensei via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/23
I’ve been an avid listener for over 4 years, and each episode is a wild and hilarious romp through the indeed strange and terrifying world of Sweet Valley. With each episode Anna and Karyn hone their skills as storytellers, bringing the 1980s/1990s world of Sweet Valley into the light of today....Read full review »

Edited years later: I still like the podcast, but two things keep happening that tampered down my enthusiasm. 1) I can’t stand when they attempt to voice characters. They can keep doing it, and I’ll continue muting, scrubbing past, or turning it off because it happens about 30x times per...Read full review »
youonlygrilledyourfoot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/23
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...Read full review »

I’m dying laughing with them!! Brava!! 😂😂😂😂❤️THIS!!!!
SVH Addict via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
I found the podcast a few weeks before Xmas 2022 and have smashed through the episodes. Any 80s and 90s kids will love this trip down memory lane even if you never read the SVH books. 10/10 highly recommend!
Casey the Sydneysider via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/21/23
Love this podcast, every time it comes up in my feed it brightens my day. The hosts have a great chemistry and hilarious retellings of terrible YA fiction.
Tad2be via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/23
Love this podcast. So funny. I read all these as a teenager- no wonder we had so many messed up expectations! Anna and Karyn are charming
Mel from the Berra via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/14/22
An actual podcast about Sweet Valley in this day and age? My day was MADE when I learned of this today. So good.
M3(: via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/12/22
This is hilarious and the best trip down memory lane. The evil Margot voice has me screaming with laughter every time.
lolabeans1124 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/22
And this makes it worth it. I love hearing about it from the non-American perspective. You have no idea with how let down i was when i reached high school and there wasn’t a dance/event every week!
case_o via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/22
This podcast is hilarious. I was obsessed with these books, and I remember most of the books they’ve covered so far. These books are so awful, and I LOVE revisiting sociopath Jessica and self-righteous Liz. They were the WORST.
Jessgya806 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/22
So good.
AntsNeverSleep via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/22
I love this nostalgic look at this classic series! It is a lot of fun to hear these two Irish lassies not know what graham crackers are!
Chex926 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/22
If you ever read a single one of these ridiculous books, please help yourself relive and rejoice (or heal, or all three) by listening to these two amazing Irish ladies recap the series and put the story lines (thin as they are) in context and with a feminist AF lens. The best reason to get up on...Read full review »
PippiShirley via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/06/22
I don’t actually have that many memories of the Sweet Valley High books, so I’ve had an amazing time experiencing them through Karyn and Anna’s recaps and reactions. I’ve listened to the whole series probably three times; it was my comfort series in the first year of the pandemic. Thank you so...Read full review »

I’m almost glad to be wearing face masks at the moment because otherwise I’m that person who’s smiling away madly to themselves on the bus or while walking. Always so much fun to listen to Anna and Karyn giggling away 😊
GillyHenn via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 01/26/22
As a teen in the 80s, I was obsessed with these books. I love the take that these wickedly funny women have on them. It’s fun to relive it all, and to read some new ones that I had missed in my youth.They keep me entertained driving my daughter back-and-forth to her activities. So if you see a...Read full review »

Honestly listening to Karyn and Anna disseminate these books that I was such a fan of in the 90s is a laugh a minute. Thanks for keeping me sane lads!
appleVonnie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/16/21
I loved these books when I was a teenager. I was literally obsessed and I’m having so much fun rereading them and then listening to Anna and Karyn’s take on them afterwards. So entertaining and so much fun! Reading these in my 40s again really puts a new perspective on these books and Anna and...Read full review »
chosenone76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/21
I love this podcast so much. It’s hilarious and on-point without wallowing in nostalgia which a lot of recap pods tend to do. I’ve been listening for years and wish I had more friends to talk about this with.
grad_grrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/21
I just found this podcast a few weeks ago and have already binged almost 40 episodes. I read the books obsessively as a tween/teen and it’s been so much fun revisiting it. The plots are even more outrageous than I remember and the hosts truly make it laugh out loud funny.
Flappy of the Tucker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/21
These girls are fab and make me laugh daily awesome for mid 30’s svh fans
AJ jjgf via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 04/04/21
I loved Sweet Valley High books when I was a teenager. I read the books from the beginning and waited for the publication of each book every month for years. Karyn and Anna’s recaps are great. Funny and spot on. Very nostalgic and fun!
talinkio2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/21
I was hoping for Christmas this year that you would discuss “The Wakefield Legacy: The Untold Story,” since you’ve reviewed all the other Sweet Valley Saga books! Please :)

This podcast is getting me through 2020!
alannadare via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/12/20
For anyone who has read / grown up with Sweet Valley High this is the best podcast. It’s so entertaining in a scary way. Karen and Anna are the best. #poorjeffrey
LKjones00 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/09/20
I literally find excuses to go and do things around the place so I can stick my earphones in and start another episode. It’s such a laugh and so much fun!

I was OBSESSED with these books when I was younger and this podcast is the most hilarious walk down memory lane. Thanks for keeping me sane during lockdown.

I literally squealed with joy when I saw a new episode pop up; I’m so happy to have more Sweet Valley Snark back in my life!
JJ 28499 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/20
Oh my, why didn’t I find you ladies years ago?! This podcast is LAUGH OUT LOUD hilarious! So glad I found this, it has entertained me endlessly.

Takes me back to reading these books as a girl. Really funny!

This is the podcast I never knew I needed in my life. So good, such a trip down memory lane. So consistently funny and brilliant. Keep it up. Love from an Irish girl in Beijing xxx

Laugh out loud, for real.

This podcast hits me right in all my nostalgia sweet spots. Having been a huge Sweet Valley fan in my formative years, it’s refreshing, worrying and hilarious to take a trip back through the books with Karen and Anna poking just the right amount of fun at Saint Liz and Psycho Jess. Funny,...Read full review »

I discovered this only a few weeks ago and can’t stop listening, I get a few strange looks at work snorting a orb laughter at my desk but as a once avid sweet valley reader it’s brilliant re-visiting the book & I love that the hosts call out all the crap, from sleazy behaviour to fat shaming....Read full review »
