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.

I’m having a blast revisiting stories I devoured as a teen through Joe and Brenna’s lighthearted and fairly balanced critical lens.

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

A weekly deep-dive into young adult literature and its on-screen adaptations, with thoughtful analysis, humor, and an emphasis on representation, industry context, and reader/viewer engagement.
