What's It About?
VLAD & NIKI PODCAST ADVENTURES is the newest media venture from siblings Vlad and Niki and their parents, known for their popular YouTube channel and tv show in Max. Each episode Vlad and Niki go on a new adventure with their imaginary friend Oopsie Daisy -- coming up with their own amusement park, figuring out if their house is haunted, and going on an imaginary airplane ride. The show dives into the imaginary world of most young kids, with fun and silly sound affects. Each episode is about 10 minutes long and the stories are often interrupted with ads for Flintstone's Vitamins (which sponsors the show).
Is It Any Good?
This show is a fun look into a child's imagination through popular YouTube brothers, Vlad and Niki. Everyday life for these two brothers is full of shenanigans in Vlad & Niki Podcast Adventures. Sounds affects help set the scene for their silly adventures, which usually start when they have to do something "boring" like clean their room, or when their parents are too busy to take them to the candy store or amusement park. Although Vlad and Niki's tv show and YouTube have been criticized in the past, this podcast seems to have more positive messages than their other media formats. Unfortunately, each episode feels like one big Flintstone's Vitamins ad.
