  • Good pod

    I love listening to Avril Lavigne and I was shocked when my mom told me she was replaced. I love this podcast and me and my friend Lyra listen all the time. We both love her songs and wonder, "what happened to Avril?" and we finally found this pod. Bye! P. S. Please give me (Maddox-she-they) and my friend (Lyra-they-them) a shoutout if possible. We are both nine years old. Bye bye!

  • Painfully annoying

    I loved kid nation but this new Avril season is so obnoxious it’s painful to listen to. I did my best to get through the second episode but ended up giving up. This one is a big miss.

  • Season 1, about "Kid Nation," was a fascinating insight into the wild world of the early days of reality television and the effects that being on a tv show can have on kids. But Season 2, about a British reality tv show, seems to have a lot less to say. It's more about the experiences of the participants, and less about the morality of the whole endeavour. It could be that I'm just not familiar with the show, but the podcast seems to be highlighting the wackiness. It's so limited that it made me... more
