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!

 

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.

 

After a long absence, we’re back! In this episode we talk about about our the fears we have, and ones that you guys have submitted about the Hunger Games movie. 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!
