Apple Podcasts5Lucy_Lulu_LuciaUnited States18 days ago - Did Jake just kill Lois Lowry?
Adore this show. Absolutely. The trouble comes when they try to talk about children’s & YA books. Put simply, they have no idea what they’re talking about. Jake just merrily discussed The Giver without pausing to wonder if Lowry is still alive. It also made me laugh to hear that they don’t think there are any children’s dystopias. The Last Kids On Earth alone dispels that theory. Great show but stay in your lane, fellas.
