Welcome to Never Grow Up
39 Plays3 months ago
Welcome to Never Grow Up, the cozy, nostalgic book-club podcast where we revisit the middle grade stories that shaped us. In this short trailer, we introduce the show, our season format, and what you can expect as we dive back into the books that made us readers.
Our first season is all about Warriors by Erin Hunter. Each episode, we’ll break down a book, try to make sense of what these crazy cats are doing, and explore what it means to be a warrior.
Hosted by Laura, lifelong reader and crafty fox enthusiast, and Jerrica, unicorn-at-heart and lover of all things whimsical, Never Grow Up is your cozy corner for reconnecting with childhood favorites.
Subscribe now and join us as on January 1st, as we dive into who Erin Hunter is and why one of them got kicked out for being a TERF.

Introduction to 'Never Grow Up'
00:00:10
Speaker
This is Never Grow Up, a show where two grown-ass adults discuss their love for middle-grade fiction. I'm one of your hosts, Jerrica. And I'm Laura.
Passion for Middle-Grade Fiction
00:00:19
Speaker
And in this prologue episode, we are just going to go over what the hell we're doing here. So we are talking about middle grade books because we both love them and we both love reading.
00:00:32
Speaker
And we've read like, not to brag or anything, but a lot of grade books. Jerrica, how many middle grade books have you read? In my lifetime or as an adult?
00:00:43
Speaker
No, in your lifetime. More than I could count.
Podcast Format and Seasons
00:00:46
Speaker
Yeah, we can't count very high. So we didn't. Well, some of us can't. One of us had to learn how to count on a podcast. That is so true.
Season One: Warrior Cats Series
00:00:57
Speaker
So we're going to be doing this in seasons so that Jerika and I can do a little flip-flop of who is leading our book discussions. And one of us, the one not leading it probably in most cases, is not going to have read the book series before.
00:01:19
Speaker
It'll be an introduction all of us. Or just me. Well, hopefully me when you do yours.
00:01:29
Speaker
yeah The first season is going to be all about Warrior Cats by Aaron Hunter. And for those of you who read Warriors, you just said, wow, that's a really long season. Well, I good news. We're only doing the first arc and a couple of the short stories and think none of the super
Season Two: Artemis Fowl Books
00:01:49
Speaker
editions yet. No, we're doing Blue Star's Prophecy. And the second season... We'll be discussing the books that contain the adventures of a certain young teenage genius named Artemis Fowl.
00:02:05
Speaker
And we're technically cheating because I have read the first book of that. Have you really? Yeah, I have. But I haven't read any the other ones. And I read it in, I think, high school. So I don't remember well. Yeah, you're remember anything.
00:02:20
Speaker
No. There'll be like random moments when I'm like, oh, oh, that one. I know that happened. I remember that he put his hair in a lock. A dwarf did. Put his hair in the lock and then snapped it off because apparently dwarf hair hardens when it gets snapped off. And then it was like a key.
Blending Humor and Heartfelt Conversations
00:02:39
Speaker
well we'll have to see next season. But like...
00:02:45
Speaker
It's not going to all just be jokes and japes. No, it will not. We're talking about things that we actually enjoy. So there's going to be a lot of like heartfelt conversations and and and deep discussions and dick jokes because i mean we are who we are when i was reading the books for season one i got to one of them and i cried at least three times during this goddamn book so that will be an interesting episode to record
00:03:24
Speaker
i will be there for that yeah So until the first episode drops, just go ahead and click in our episode description to see how
