Rereading the Revolution

De: Kellie and Daphne
  • Resumen

  • 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.

  • "A Weird Choice" | Fangirl
    Nov 8 2024

    “Why was that a detail?"


    We’ve read a few contemporary books on this show, but none that made us self-reflect on the nature of hosting a fan podcast and experiencing the other side of fandom through our relationships with our listeners as much as Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl (2013).


    Just kidding. This book is crazy! Daphne and Kellie recap the college coming-of-age story and talk fanfic, young love, and one major historic event in particular in this episode.

  • "Aura of Creepiness" | Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
    Oct 25 2024

    “This book is basically Citizen Kane.”


    Happy Halloween! We read Ransom Riggs’ fantastical 2013 novel/found photography collection, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, to celebrate. It’s not nearly as haunting as we remember—at least, not in terms of ghosts and ghouls. Plus, Kellie finally finished the Delirium series! Stick around until the end to hear her recap the final book of the trilogy, Requiem, for Daphne.

    Bog cheese articles, as promised, except it’s not cheese, it’s butter. My bad. Turns out they’re being found all the time, including this summer!

  • "Dominating the Post-Apocalyptic Walmart" | The Darkest Minds
    Oct 11 2024

    “You just wake up one day and you’re really good at math, and suddenly you’re being taken from your home.”


    We're back with another dystopian novel and this one is...actually good? Our hosts are rejoined by special guest Katie to discuss Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest Minds (2012). As we hit the road with Ruby and company, Daphne and Katie tell Kellie about the series, Katie and Kellie teach Daphne more Southern cultural nuances, and everyone in the room, including the cat, gets really excited about Harris Dickinson. Thanks for coming along with us on the ride, darlin'.
