Jabberjays: The Hunger Games Podcast

Jabberjays #10 – Directors and Events

Kimmy — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:41:57 +0000

In this podcast we discuss our upcoming 24 day countdown to ‘Mockingjay’ that will involve prizes donated by Scholastic UK, Hot Topic, and Borders. We also talk about our live podcast that is going to be at the Torrance Borders on the 28th of August at 4:00 PM, and we’re extremely excited about it! Our friends Matt and Andrew from Imprint and Mugglecast will be joining us on our panel. Our discussion today is about ‘The Hunger Games’ movie! It’s extremely close to getting a director, due to the fact that Billy Ray is revising. Once the script is complete, we will have a director, and once we have a director, our cast will begin to come together. We also announce our new poll feature, and our encyclopedia that has just now been put up on the site. A big thanks to our forum users for the months of work that were needed to build it up!

Jabberjays #9 – The Hunger Games Chapters 1-3

Kimmy — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 07:15:28 +0000

In this podcast, our first episode in our chapter by chapter discussion series, we discuss chapters 1-3 of the Hunger Games! We touch on many points including our first impressions of the post apocalyptic society, the characters, and many of our favorite conspiracy theories. Some of these include the mysteries surrounding the death of Katniss and Gale’s fathers, and the urgency in Madge’s tone as she delivers the Mockingjay pin. Our special guest on this podcast is Lori from the Twilight Lexicon, who recently read the books and has been dying to discuss them! We announce our Online Store opening, and more. This podcast is our longest yet, so I hope you enjoy it! Also, please let us know which intro/outro music you like best, the original music in episodes 1-7, the Tik Tok intro from episode 8, or this intro/outro which is Manju by E.S. Posthumus.

Discussion points include the tone we hope the movie will have, what the movie needs to include to be a successful adaption, and more. We also let you know that our next episode will be our first chapter by chapter, on chapter 1. To make this successful we need you guys to email us everything that you took from the first chapter of the book. Grab it now, read it, and email us! If we use your email, we’ll mention your name in the podcast. We’ll try to use every email, if that’s possible! We let you guys know that we will never be gone for good, no matter how big of a break there is between podcasts. We are going to be following the Hunger Games to the big screen, and we’re in it for the long haul! I also apologize that we sound so tired in this podcast….I really hope our next one won’t sound like zombies!

Jabberjays #7 – Mockingjay

Kimmy — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:16:57 +0000

The title and cover of final novel in the Hunger Games trilogy has been released! Kimmy, JD, Becka, and Andrew come together in this special podcast to chat about the amazing news. This is the first Jabberjays episode to have 4 hosts, the first to be over an hour long, and the first to only take Kimmy one day to edit. (It normally takes a week or more, she was very excited!) The cover has a lot of symbolism behind it, and we think the title is just plain perfect. Not to mention, we are all feeling very lucky that the name of the book is the same as the title of our site! We share what you guys have been saying on the site about the new cover/title using your forum posts and comments. We all love our ‘Music Mondays’ so we included 2 of those as well. More info about the ‘Tick Tock – Hunger Games Parody’ lyrics contest is also announced, and more. I hope you enjoy!

Jabberjays #6 – Relationships and Love Songs

Kimmy — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:29:02 +0000

In this podcast we share a lot of music that we have featured on Music Mondays, and we talk about a bunch of our Discussion Wednesdays that have had a good response with you guys. We also let you guys know that we have job openings for transcribers, and that we are going to be starting a chapter by chapter analysis series and want you guys to join in! So, your homework is to read the first three chapters of the Hunger Games and email your thoughts, discussions, and ideas to mockingjay.net@gmail.com. Our special host is Becka, who was one of the people who came up with the idea for the site! We talk about what we were doing when we came up with the idea for the site, and the awful situation with the restraunt waiter. We also explain that we really want to be better at getting more podcasts out and why we have been lacking lately.

Jabberjays #5 – District 13 and Prim

Kimmy — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:27:06 +0000

More discussion with Kimmy, JD, and our special guest Andrew! We discuss District 13 and it’s secrets, how the games would have gone down if Prim had been the tribute, and discuss your opinions on what makes the Hunger Games so terrible. We also include some discussions on merchandise, if we would find the Hunger Games entertaining to watch, and touch on which actor should play Katniss in the Hunger Games movie. We ramble on a lot, so there is a whole lot to listen to in this episode, I hope you enjoy it!
