I’m so in love with it. I listen everyday and it’s so interesting to listen to in my free time. I do wish that they made more episodes. They kinda just left me on a cliffhanger(I do not tolerate cliffhangers that well)Other than that, 5 stars ✨Niki has the right voice, and so as everyone else. The best part is that it isn’t fan made. It’s made by the real author!

I usually listen to educational podcasts about history and stuff but I got a little bored of them. Then I found this podcast. I’ve already read a few Dork Diaries so I already knew all the characters and stuff but apparently I’ve read the first one. So I tried this podcast and it had me cracking up! It’s so funny and I recommend it for anyone looking for a good laugh!

Hey I hfgfryftyft · Aug 2023
i personally love finding podcasts relating to my favorite things, and dork diaries is no exception! this podcast has not only entertained me, obviously, but it also really did inspire me to be the cute dork that i am. nikki maxwell is the twin to many young teen girls and someone who most people can relate to. i loved being able to experience my favorite childhood books in audio form. highly recommend this podcast! you will NOT be disappointed!
