Ok, this is an abnormal media type that I am going to praise, as this is technically a podcast and I only really cover albums, but my gosh is it that good!
Here's the blurb of what the podcast is about:
"In 2022, angsty teen Derek Walker is a pop punk poser living in the past; but when his mysterious substitute teacher Dom Telonge sends him back to Warped Tour 2005 to stop the abduction and replacement of the pop punk princess, Avril Lavigne, his dreams of fulfilling his pop punk destiny become a reality. WHO KILLED AVRIL LAVIGNE? is a sci-fi comedy podcast, a send-up and celebration of the aughts with an original pop-punk score."
Sounds pretty nuts right? The podcast leans into the crazy (including the Avril Lavigne is dead theory) and creates a 8 part story that is actually well told. The voice actors are amazing and their original music sounds like it came right from warped tour!
This is hands down my favorite podcast of 2022, no competition. It helps that I grew up at the time they are basing the story on and am into Avril Lavigne and Blink 182 (also the other bands they mention like Yellowcard, Sum 41, and Green Day).
So stop be a poser already and listen to this radical podcast dude!
