Second Person:

Most apprentice writers take a stab at second person somewhere along the road. I have. It can make for some interesting effects on the page.

But working with second person is troublesome because at best it can sound like stage directions (“you take three steps across the room”) and at worst like orders (“You jump off the bridge”). Your reader will not want to be told what to do (especially if it’s to jump off a bridge!). If it’s clear that the story is about someone else, say, a younger self, or in the case of a story I wrote, my mother (so "I" was putting myself in the shoes of "my mother") then you can pull it off. But it’s very hard to sustain for long and I don't recommend it for a novel project. Second person often annoys the reader and that's always a bad idea. But it's always worth experimenting. Play!

Here's that example from Iggy's World rewritten in the second person:

Testing, testing. One, two, three. Is the mic on your phone working? Check, check. You'll have to keep your voice down. Your dad's filming a show right now. You're recording this podcast just off the set.
     Here you go! Say it: Welcome to Iggy's World.
     You're the host, Iggy Zambini, and somebody out there, somewhere, is listening to episode one of Iggy's World, your podcast about insects. You know insects make people's skin crawl. But you tell them: don't tune out yet. This podcast isn't just about bugs. For example, today you're recording this from the set of the sci-fi web series Great Big Bugs in Space. Because, of course, the show is about great big bugs in space.

Hmm. I don't think I like that. It changes the tone, doesn't it? Makes it sort of ... sad, or something. Given my project is about a kid recording a podcast about his life, the second person doesn't fit at all.
