Uchoose Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of the You Choose podcast! This week, we trade our trusty 80s adventures for a peak 90s classic: RL Stine's Escape from the Carnival of Horrors. Because nothing says "healthy childhood" like wandering into an abandoned theme park run by a dude named Big Al and getting bossed around by a girl named Patty who possesses zero self-preservation instincts. We take the wheel—and immediately lose our brakes —as we navigate doom slides , space coasters , and a random dwarf that just grabs your leg in a pitch-black tunnel. Normal Scholastic Book Fair stuff, right?What We Dissected:The absolute lack of stranger danger our generation had, hopping fences at 9 PM. Why every single character in this book does nothing but "gaze" at things. Animorphs, Goosebumps, and the paperback heavyweights that defined the 90s. Getting turned into a ghost because you couldn't clap three times and catch a ball.

We apologize ahead of time, we had recording issues so the audio quality is not the best. Thank you for your understanding. Remember when your biggest responsibility was not burning the house down while Mom was at work? Well, in Louise Monroe Foley’s The Mystery of the Highland Crest, a nine-year-old is tasked with saving a Scottish estate from a blood-debt curse. You know, typical Tuesday for a latchkey kid. This week, we’re cracking open a vintage Scholastic classic that proves if you have enough hubris (and a plane ticket your mom casually handed over), you can outrun any relative with a thin mustache and a hunting knife.We’re diving into the "Dread Wisely" motto, which apparently means "don't let the ghost in the green dress rearrange your living room furniture." Between dodging a "befuddled" aunt and avoiding a watery grave at Black Rock, we explore the peak 80s trope of unsupervised minors in international peril.Choose Your Own Adventure, 80s Books, Scholastic Book Fair, Retro Gaming, Mystery of the Highland Crest, Louise Monroe Foley, Paul Granger, Ghost Stories, Scottish Highlands, Gen X Nostalgia, Interactive Fiction, Gamebooks, Vintage Paperbacks, 80s Childhood, UChoose Podcast

Hosts Eddie and Lee are back, albeit late, to steer the adventure in the classic 80s book, Enchanted Kingdom, where the protagonist faces the consequences of drinking a mysterious brew offered by the tall, beautiful, and slightly menacing Fair Folk. Next, the hosts tackle the dense choices of Creatures of the Dark which thrusts the young hero into a bizarre world ruled by a three-headed man named Cacus and 12 gold-hoarding dwarves. The hosts attempt to evade certain death by making up elaborate lies about their ability to "sift flour into gold" after nearly being eaten for making bad pancakes. Tune in to see if the adventurers escape the Wild Hunt and whether they survive the many, many choices or succumb to a sudden tidal wave on a lake.Find previous episodes and more at uchoosepodcast.com⁠Twitch⁠⁠⁠Uchoose Merch⁠⁠
