The Hunger Games
We are back, and throwing this awesome podcast into the Arena.
The Hunger Games arena.
We are "volunteering" this show as a "tribute" to one of the best stories of all time.
"Fire" up of this episode and "may the odds be ever in your favor."
"Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love."

Ready Player One
We did it and the wait is over!
We're back in action with one of the best books of the decade. Today we pitch, summarize, and analyze READY PLAYER ONE. This fantastic debut novel by Ernest Cline.
"It’s the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.
Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of 10,000 planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune - and remarkable power - to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday’s riddles are based in the pop culture he loved - that of the late 20th century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt - among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life - and love - in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.
A world at stake.
A quest for the ultimate prize.
Are you ready?"

Welcome to Uncage the Page
I LOVE stories. I love books. Novels have this incredible ability to take us to distant worlds, and allow us to interact with mesmerizing characters surrounded by fantastic settings. What I don't love is that books HAVE to end. The good news is the conversations and memories don't. Let's do a deep dive into the writing styles, tropes, and characters of these unforgettable stories to see what we find.
That Sequel/Prequel to your favorite comes out soon? Join us for a quick recap!
They're going to make a movie out of your favorite series? Listen in for a nice refresh!
Want to have a conversation about how Prof. Snape could've been the Seeker of Truth and the Colonel who trained Jack Reacher, while being the inspiration for all Danielle Steel's novels right before he started the rebellion in District 12?
Well I hope you have a moment, and some headphones because it's about to go down.
