Lettuce volunteer as tribute! In this
episode's *surprise* topic, Charlotte guides Laura through
the first installment in The Hunger Games
trilogy. They chat about the variety of characters in Panem, Suzanne
Collins' talent for world building, reading YA fiction, and more.
Charlotte explains why she thinks Peeta is just as skilled as
Katniss. Laura shares why she's Team Gale. Together the girls discuss
whether Katniss is a Mary Sue, their sympathies for the disturbed
Cato, and compare the book to its companion film. Is Katniss too
harsh on her mother? Is Caesar Flickerman a secret monster? And is
the dystopian society built in The Hunger Games
a realistic future?
A
short Fun & Games segment features Charlotte and Laura playing a
Hunger Games
themed version of the classic
TLP
game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Play along in the episode and comment
on this post with your picks!
Looking
to sip on something while listening to this episode or
reading/watching The
Hunger Games?
Mix up this week's podtail, the Girl on Fire. You can find literally
dozens of recipes for this drink with a quick Google search. Laura
made her own concoction using 2oz fireball whiskey mixed with orange
juice and a splash to grenadine to create an ombre fire color. Sweet
and spicy, just like Katniss!
