The LEGO Group’s podcast ‘Our LEGO® Stories’ continues tonight with a new episode focussing on the stories around the AFOL experience.

Hosts Julie and Loren talk with three guests in this podcast: Australian AFOL, Annie O’Reilly, talks about her experience with using LEGO therapeutically as a teenager, following a brain infection; LEGO Designer Carl Merriam talks about his transition from AFOL to Designer, and what it is like to work with the people who created his favourite childhood sets. Finally, Tormod Askildsen, head of the AFOL Engagement team at the LEGO Group, discusses the impact that LEGO fans have had in decisions the company makes, in the past and learnings going forward.
