After hearing that Sunrise on the Reaping book was in the works, we knew we had to do a read-along podcast. We got so much from our Hunger Games and Songbirds and Snakes read-throughs and loved that our listeners loved our nerdy, snarky POVs.
We're going to spend most of 2025 discussing Suzanne Collins' new book (yes, there's exactly that much to talk about) and are so excited to take a deep dive into the 50th Hunger Games. In each episode, we'll explore our first impressions on the section we read, compelling elements that connect to our world, and various POVs that aren't Haymitch Abernathy's.
We're starting slow with some chapter-by-chapter episodes, but may pick up the pace once we get into the games. We'll see how the book progresses! If you haven't read Sunrise on the Reaping yet, don't worry - our episodes will be spoiler-free.
Listen to this first podcast episodes right here:
Britt and Chris introduce their new read-through podcast for Sunrise on the Reaping, including a bit about themselves and what they hope to find in the new Hunger Games book.
Covering Chapter 1, Britt and Chris discuss defiant District 12 families, the inevitability of the Hunger Games, the Goose and the Common song, and of course Courtesy of the Capitol butt shorts. They also explore the POVs of Lenore Dove and Haymitch's mother, and the unexpected end to the first chapter of Sunrise on the Reaping.
For Chapter 2, Britt and Chris discuss important differences between the 50th and 74th reapings, Haymitch's brief goodbyes, the very dreadful Drusilla Sickle, and the prioirty of cinematic production vs district control. They also explore the POVs of both Plutarch Heavensbee and a random district kid.
Britt and Chris explore the good, the bad, and the amazing moments on the train, including proper sandwich etiquette. They also discuss the Potosí silver mine, some Romani history, and the POVs of Louella McCoy and Maysilee Donner.
