There is one outlier, though\u2014R.L. Stine’s <\/span>Story Club<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

R.L. Stine (whose real name is Bob) is the creator of <\/span>Goosebumps<\/span><\/i> and a friend of Carman\u2019s, and <\/span>Story Club<\/span><\/i> is a mystery show that will make listeners laugh and scream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Carman heard that many teachers and librarians are using podcasts in the school setting, he realized that might be one of the reasons his shows get so much traction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think we’re getting discovered because I tour a lot of schools, and I have several books in school libraries. I also think kids are actually hearing our shows in school.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This means that kids, too, are multi-tasking while listening. They can simultaneously play or do their homework, making it a win-win situation for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carman also holds a Zoom event nearly every week, where classes can come in and hear him talk about the shows. This is just one more way he endeavors to connect and inspire as many kids as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
