UNspoiled! The Hunger Games

This powerful illustration of Peeta is called "-Weapon-" and it's by HennaFaunway. You can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/hennafaunway/art/Weapon-494367332

These chapters are the ones where Katniss finally breaks, and the leaders of 13 realize that they're going to need to rescue Peeta if they want her functional. SO they rescue him! YAY!

Oh wait.

This illustration of Katniss and Peeta hiding in the cave during their first Hunger Games is by KatArtIllustrations and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/katartillustrations/art/Waiting-Out-The-Rain-118370049

These chapters are the ones where we see Peeta on TV again and not only does he look significantly worse, but he's warning the memberd of District 13 that there's an attack incoming. We have to retreat underground, and it's a close call for both Prim and Gale who almost miss the doors closing.

Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

This gorgeous illustration of Katniss looking fierce as fuck (which felt appropriate for these chapters) is by pungang and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/pungang/art/Katniss-Everdeen-197368194


Despite it being CLEARLY MARKED ON THE SCHEDULE (lmao) RoShawn only read 3 chapters this week and didn't realize she was supposed to read 7 until I did my intro and only SLIGHTLY (phew!) spoiled it. So here we go with an impromptu live-read, and I hope you enjoy it!

I wanted to find some fanart of District 13, perhaps President Coin, and was genuinely surprised by the fact that I found next to nothing, so I decided to use this beautiful artwork of Katniss laying Prim to rest by MelodyMoore because it deserves to be seen. https://www.deviantart.com/melodymoore/art/Hunger-Games-Katniss-and-Rue-549799167


These chapters are the ones in which we see inside District 13 for the first time, meet President Coin and Plutarch's assistant Fulvia, and Katniss decides to leverage her position to get some promises out of the ones now pulling her strings.

These chapters are the ones where we really get to see what kinds of threats this arena is packed with, and Katniss manages to decipher Wiress's message just before the woman is killed. Meanwhile, RoShawn is trying to understand what the hell is going on with everyone trying to help Peeta and Katniss.

These chapters are the ones where our friends have to get through their first days in the arena, and we've got some real doozies already. Peeta nearly dies almost immediately from the force-field, and then we get a poisonous gas fog and some murderous monkeys.

These chapters are the ones in which Katniss talks to the refugees from District 8 and finds out that there are rumors about District 13 still being up and running. However, all her theories about that have to be put to the side in favor of panic when the theme of the Quarter Quell is announced.

In this episode of The Hunger Games coverage, RoShawn and I wrap on the first book and talk over the implications of our pair winning the game. She's baffled at the possibilities, meanwhile I'm gleeful about just how unprepared she is.

It's the penultimate episode of our coverage of The Hunger Games, and RoShawn is starting to suspect that things are going in a genuinely romantic direction and is really unsure about how she feels about it. Meanwhile, we've got the District 12 pair heading to the Cornucopia because their water supply has been eliminated...and Cato comes at them with very different energy than they were expecting.

This illustration of Clove starting to cut Katniss's face is by Mooknar and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/mooknar/art/Where-s-Lover-boy-291952479


I just want to apologize off the top because I had to disconnect and reconnect all my wiring in my office and I guess something went wrong because I was clearly not being picked up by the correct mic and my sound is terrible. This won't be the case next week I promise!


These chapters are the ones in which Katniss tracks down Peeta and manages to play the "we're in love" angle for the cameras. She then drugs him to get some medicine for him at the cornucopia, but not without really risking a lot and nearly losing her life.

This beautiful illustration of Rue in the treetops is by martinacecilia and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/martinacecilia/art/Rue-314459222


These chapters are the ones in which Katniss is only barely able to escape the Careers and the Tracker Jackers to meet up with Rue and form an alliance. RoShawn and I talk about what it sounds like things are like in District 11, and how the districts aren't allowed to know much about each other.

Thanks so much to you all for listening!

This week we're covering chapters 9 through 12 AGAIN but with RoShawn! Find out what she predicts the rest of the book will be like, how she feels about Peeta now that he's running with the Careers, and what she's wondering about the logistics of setting up the Hunger Games.


Thanks for listening, everyone, and thank you so much to all who donated to support RoShawn and her husband in the midst of the medical crisis they've been experiencing. We love you dearly.

Hey friends, thanks so much for your patience on this one. The sound is going to be kind of weird in spots because it was ripped from Crowdcast AND put through Levelator due to some bizarre sound issues miles was having, and on top of that his connection was wonky a few times so he cuts out a bit. I did my best, and I hope you enjoy.

This awesome illustration of Katniss is by friedChicken365 and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/friedchicken365/art/Katniss-Everdeen-200994040


These chapters are the ones in which Katniss, Peeta, and the other tributes all have to preform privately for the Gamemakers in order to get scores that will influence potential sponsors. Then there's a big public interview with Caesar Flickerman, which Katniss just barely scrapes by before Peeta drops a surprise.

This incredible illustration of Katniss and Peeta enrobed by flame is by palnk and you can see it here! https://www.deviantart.com/palnk/art/Chariot-of-Fire-290333069


These are the chapters where Katniss and Peeta reach the Capitol and are given makeovers to prepare for their debut. It all sounds so glamorous until you remember they're children being made to slaughter one another for the entertainment of others. We also find out what an Avox is, and Katniss struggles with guilt because she failed to act all those years ago.

Join me as I ask RoShawn what she already knows about The Hunger Games! I'm really surprised to hear that she knows a LOT less than I was expecting 👀
