My podcasting partner, Brenna Clarke Gray, and I record a weekly podcast called Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr, which dissects young adult literature, their filmic adaptations and everything in between. The podcast also has a mandate to highlight Canadian literature and Canadian writers. Podcasts are broken into three categories:
1. Chapters: These full-length episodes focus on a young adult book and its corresponding film or television show adaptation. Titles include:
- Divergent (March 26, 2019)
- Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda / Love, Simon (March 19, 2019)
- Mortal Engines (March 12, 2019)
- Persepolis (March 5, 2019)
- The Mortal Instruments (Feb 26, 2019)
- The Umbrella Academy (Feb 19, 2019)
- The Kissing Booth (Feb 12, 2019)
- The Fault In Our Stars (Feb 5, 2019)
- The Hate U Give (Jan 29, 2019)
- A Discovery of Witches (Jan 22, 2019)
- Scott Pilgrim (Jan 15, 2019)
- The Scarlet Letter / Easy A (Jan 8, 2019)
- Dumplin’ (Dec 18, 2018)
- Before I Fall (Dec 11, 2018)
- To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (Dec 4, 2018)
- Warm Bodies (Nov 27, 2018)
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Nov 27, 2018)
2. Appendixes: These mini bonus episodes range in content. Typically they offer a forecast of notable seasonal or upcoming titles, or a select one-off topic for discussion that falls outside of the guidelines of a Chapter, such as:
- Sex Education (Jan 15, 2019)
- YA Forecast 2019 (Jan 1, 2019)
- YA Holiday (Dec 25, 2018)
3. Excerpts: These mini bonus episodes are interviews conducted with Canadian YA authors discussing one of their most popular or celebrated texts. Typically one episode is released each month:
- Steven Bereznai, I Want Superpowers! (Feb 2019)
- Carrianne Leung, The Wondrous Woo (Jan 2019)
- Kevin T. Johns, M School (Dec 2018)
