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.Follow us on social media at @rereadingtherevolution for updates, and email us at rereadingtherevolution@gmail.com with any comments or episode suggestions!

They Both Die at the End | "YOLO Swag"
"The power of Malec."Happy Pride Month! This year, our Patrons chose to celebrate by reading They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (2017). If you were on BookTok in 2020, you're probably familiar with this speculative fiction story of two boys who receive a call from Death-Cast notifying them that they have less than 24 hours to live. We follow Mateo and Rufus through September 5, 2017, which was a great day...for being sad.Along with a recap, we talk about Silvera's nontraditional journey to authorship, his very familiar inspirations, and the television adaptation. Give us Bad Bunny as Howie Maldonado, Netflix, PLEASE!Rufus' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rufusonpluto/Support the Trevor Project with RTR Merch! https://www.bonfire.com/rereading-the-revolution-pride/ Hosted on Acast.

I Am Number Four | "Evil Man Vibes"
"I believe that you are an alien and also I love you."We had our Patrons vote on a selection of our most-requested dystopian and sci-fi books, and I Am Number Four (2010) by Pittacus Lore (allegedly...) won by a landslide. It's your typical fish-out-of-water story about the new boy in town trying his best to fit in and survive the semester with the help of the prettiest girl in school, an oddball best friend, and an unusually smart dog. But this teenager has a big secret...he's an alien. As it turns out, John wasn't the only one with something to hide.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

City of Bones Movie | "Unfortunately Lackluster Experience" (SNEAK PEEK)
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION"Those two henchmen had more chemistry between them than any other characters."Many of very same people who anxiously awaited this movie in 2013 have anxiously awaited this episode thirteen years later. Hopefully that's the only thing they have in common. We're joined once again by Mara and Katie to discuss the City of Bones film adaptation. We'll cover the cast (in extreme details), the critical response, and the film's legacy among fans.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

New Moon Pt. 2 | "We Are All Team Mike"
"One thing about our Bella is that she loves to give up."Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Hannah Lisa Lohr are back with the second half (some would even say the exciting half) of Stephenie Meyer's New Moon (2009)! We pick up where we left off to follow Bella as she learns Jacob’s secret, engages in some more dangerous recreational activities, and makes some new friends on her big trip to Italy. Will Edward and Bella be reunited? Plus, we discuss the real Quileute Tribe's history and culture in more detail.Native Storytelling Festival: The Real Story of the Quileute Wolves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmfbQRclFf8&t=2553sOriginal New Moon Epilogue: https://web.archive.org/web/20110623072037/http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/nm_outtakes_jacob.pdfQuileute ResourcesQuileute Nation official website: https://quileutenation.org/Learn about and donate to the Move to Higher Ground Project: https://mthg.org/get-involved/Follow Hannah!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahlisalohr/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahlisalohrYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HannahLisaLohrFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

New Moon Pt. 1 | "Bring Back My Cullens"
“Stephenie Meyer almost never hits for me. But when she does hit, it’s…like transcendental.”We’ve made you wait long enough for us to read New Moon (2009), hopefully we made it worthwhile by coming back with two episodes on the second book in the Twilight series. Our resident Twilight expert, Hannah Lisa Lohr, is back for both! Whether you love or hate Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance novels, their cultural impact is undeniable. And this one has werewolves.Quileute ResourcesQuileute Nation official website: https://quileutenation.org/Learn about and donate to the Move to Higher Ground Project: https://mthg.org/get-involved/Follow Hannah!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahlisalohr/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahlisalohrYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HannahLisaLohrFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

City of Ashes | "We Can Just Be Siblings" (SNEAK PEEK)
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION"Drama, right from the beginning."To no one's surprise, City of Ashes (2009), book two in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, swept our latest Patreon poll. If you thought the first installment was wild, just wait until you hear what this one has in store. There's a vampire and werewolf feud straight out of Twilight, faeries, demons, magical experiments, tons of family drama, and forbidden love. We had SO much fun talking about this book and can't wait to hear your opinions!Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

Dungeons & Dystopia: Dusk - Episode 3
We've reached the epic conclusion of our three-part Dusk real-play D&D series! This episode sees our crew of vampires, werewolves, and one extraordinarily normal girl crashing a very meta interdimensional story convention and taking on a heroic final battle. We're met with several familiar faces, including a young author who bears a slight resemblance to (but definitely isn't) someone you may have heard of. Will this motley crew of Spoons residents save Hammy--and Mirabel's grade--in time?Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

Unwind | "Our Most Requested Episode"
"I mean, when you're trapped in a box in the dark with three other boys, what else are you gonna talk about?"After two years of you asking for it, we finally took on Neal Shusterman's beloved and disturbing 2007 dystopian novel, Unwind. Kellie and Daphne are joined by longtime Unwind fan and our good friend, Lin, to discuss the book's real-life inspirations, political resonance, and shocking, frenetic plot. This book tackles several complex and emotionally charged issues alongside your typical YA hijinks and teenage drama, and we try to strike that balance in this episode as well.Links:Neal Shusterman Shelf Awareness Interview: https://www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.html?issue=1149#m20670BBC News Bulletin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6171083.stmAdditional Reading on Organ Memory: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306987719307145https://www.mdpi.com/2673-3943/5/1/2https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-pseudoscience/donors-organ-donors-personality-lets-approach-sensiblyNational Marrow Donor Program (US): https://www.nmdp.org/get-involved/join-the-registryEpisode Suggestions Form: forms.gle/x2F2V73N6G4DwnmA9 Hosted on Acast.
