Hey YA Book Riot

What annoys me about this pod is that the past few weeks, Eric has said he hasn’t had much time to read, but...Come on, dude, do your homework! As other reviews have stated, they need more substance in their shows. Every single segment can’t just be book recs. (They have a guest this week, which is an improvement.) I would much prefer that they model their show after Kid Lit, they latest Book Riot podcast. That show is much more polished, including sound quality!

I always look forward to my morning commute if a new episode of Hey YA is waiting for me. Kelly and Eric have such great chemistry and their laughter is contagious. I love hearing their recommendations for YA books and learning their inside jokes from previous episodes. They inspire me to keep reading, writing, and learning.

I love this podcast, both for its content, the expertise/enthusiasm of the hosts, and the additions to my TBR list it always gives me. This is a great podcasts for writers of YA who like to keep an ear to the ground as well as teenagers looking for something just right to read. The title itself (my favorite!) points to the intentionality and the cleverness in the entire production. If you like YA, even just a little bit, trust me: Kelly and Eric are your jam!
