Reading Held Hostage

The Gunn's

Reading Held Hostage is a comedy podcast where avid reader, Blue Gunn, teaches her definitely willing co-host and awesome husband, Justin Gunn, about crazy books she read as a kid. Reading Held Hostage is a new way to look back on the books some of us might have read as kids through the lens of a critically thinking adult. And lets just say, some of these books have the strangest things to target towards children and teens. Please join husband and wife duo Justin and Blue Gunn as they navigate these choppy waters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    RHH Ep 61 Divergent Organize These Boys

    Trigger warning in this episode regarding pedophilia, sexual assault and child death. In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we begin by discussing Discount Macklemore from the Divergent movies. While we are not actually talking about the guy from the movies who looked a lot like Macklemore, we are starting the Divergent Trilogy. Justin knows very little about this book and Blue never actually finished it as a teen.

    RHH Ep 58 TBOSBAS Fabrica What Not

    In this episode of Reading Held Hostage Blue reads the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. The stand alone novel written to accompany the original Hunger Games trilogy. This breaks the rule that Blue has brought up time and time again “I won’t read it because you should have put it in the first books?” But in reality, this book is actually really good, and TikTok is simping over the actor who plays President Snow. Join Justin and Blue for a retreat back into the Hunger Games!  Reach out to us about anything at ReadingHeldHostage@gmail.com  Follow us on TikTok @Readingheldhostage Subscribe to us on YouTube.com/readingheldhostage  Follow us on Twitter @ReadingHostage  Follow us on Instagram @readingheldhostage Check out your local county library to find more books, resources and activities than you would ever imagine for mostly free (some resources might cost a small amount).
