I first watched the 1939 film version of “The Wizard of Oz” when I was 6, have been a fan of the Oz books since 5th grade, and am now obsessulated with “Wicked.” It has been wonderful to have a space that encourages my interest in Oz.

I also hope to have an extensive Oz collection someday. I truly appreciate all that Down the Ye... more

I cannot believe I didn’t discover this pod sooner, but better late than never, as they say. As an avid Ozian since childhood, I am enjoying looking at that world with a current day lens. Looking forward to listening and learning more through each episode.
I listened to the first few episodes while making cookies this morning. I can’t wait to listen to the rest. Down the yellow brick pod is for sure going to be one of my new favorites and has already been added to my library.
