Rereading the Revolution: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Kellie and Daphne
Whether it was a reaction to the politics of the time or the rapidly approaching end date of the Mayan calendar, the pop-cultural landscape of the early 2010s can be best remembered for one thing: dystopian literature. Join plucky young heroines and podcast hosts Daphne and Kellie as they dive into all of your favorite young adult novels and series from this era as we reread the revolution. We lived through it once and are back to recap, review, and discuss all the best and worst that the world-shifting genre of YA fiction has to offer–the sci-fi, the fantasy, and the supernatural–at least until our society crumbles and we have to survive a brave new world.

Gone Pt. 2 | "Whip Arm"
"It has kind of changed my life.."Because one episode was not enough to cover this behemoth of a children's novel, we're back to recap the second half of Michael Grant's Gone (2008). We hope the first half wasn't too weird for you, because we're just getting started with this sci-fi tale described by so many critics as Lord of the Flies meets Stephen King...but with superpowers. The critics didn't even mention the talking wolves or The Darkness. Can you imagine where the plot will go in the next five books of this series? We try to do just that in this episode.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City of Glass Pt. 1 | "My Sister, My Blood"
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION"Clary, as usual, runs away crying."We’re continuing to tear through The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and City of Glass (2009) is too monumental to contain to one episode. We take on the first half of the epic finale (sort of), visiting Idris for the first time, navigating a series of complicated relationships, being terrified by Valentine's increasing evil powers, and making predictions about the book's ending. Hilarity ensues.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gone Pt. 1 | "What Is Going On?"
"This is like, the least predictable book I’ve ever read in my life."An instant classic is incoming, because we're tackling Michael Grant's Gone (2008), one of the silliest and strangest books we've ever read. It's too much for one episode, so we broke this one into two mind-boggling parts. Kellie and Daphne discuss Grant's checkered legacy, our listeners' memories of this series, and of course, everything that goes down in the FAYZ. It's one of the most fun times we've ever had while podcasting.Book trailer: https://youtu.be/RY5xEpMC3oo?si=AbgxIsnhjlhREZDwMichael Grant's blog post: https://medium.com/@MichaelGrantBks/aw-they-hate-me-14ed9fca7b46Letters between Michael Grant and Dr. Debbie Reese: https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2016/11/dear-michael-letter-to-michael-grant.htmlEpisode submission form: https://forms.gle/3hPc5bv1FfqgmigA7 Hosted on Acast.

Daphne and Kellie are joined by special guest Thya Leger to take on more fallen angels posing as high schoolers and bravely ask the question of what's worse--the impending Biblical apocalypse or getting meatloaf in smashed your hair as a vegetarian?Follow Thya!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wiltedpages/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wiltedpagesWebsite: https://wiltedpages.wordpress.com/Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

Paper Towns | "I’m a Girl and I’m Not Okay"
“He really John Greened in this one."The time has come for another John Green episode, and this time our Patreon subscribers voted for Paper Towns (2008)! This is a book whose cultural significance is based more on the kind of story that it became a symbol of rather than the plot itself. Kellie and Daphne unpack the nuances and accuracy of the "manic pixie dream girl" label for Margo, along with road trips, discussions about metaphors, quirky character traits, and nerds getting kissed by cool girls. I mean, it's first-era John Green. You all know what to expect by now!CW: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide.
