Since I began listening to Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr this year, I have been completely obsessed. Each episode contains an insightful and entertaining conversation about a ya book and its adaptation that always makes you think. They highlight the many tropes that are so often present in YA literature in a fun and interesting way, and are always open to input and feedback from listeners in their book club and mailbag episodes. Before each episode, they do territorial acknowledgments for wher... more

I generally give podcasts a few episodes & jump around before making a decision, which is what I did here. I picked out 5 different episodes to listen to but there was so much negativity it was exhausting. Don’t review YA if you don’t like it…but having a podcast that leans heavily on that genre then complaining that it focuses too much on romance or teen/early adult issues instead of work and politics is a little ridiculous. There also seems to be a lot of putting Todays societal standards on ... more
I’m having a blast revisiting stories I devoured as a teen through Joe and Brenna’s lighthearted and fairly balanced critical lens. As long as you’re not too precious about your favorite stories being picked apart and criticized, and are willing to engage in the fun alongside occasional serious topics, this pod will be a hit for you too.
I enjoy this podcast for the most part. I love that it’s dedicated to YA! The angle of comping books to their respective media is also interesting though of course means we mainly only discuss books that have made it to film or TV adaptation status, though I like that they sprinkle in “book club” episodes as well. I do wish the hosts would engage more deeply with some texts—i.e. they criticize Chaos Walking saying it “doesn’t engage deeply with colonialism” when a simple google search of the ser... more
