YA Cafe

Danielle and Amanda take the time to ensure their selections represent a diverse array of demographics and topics. I love that they split the podcast in half so if you haven't read the book yet, you don't get any spoilers. This podcast is excellent for any middleschool or high school English teachers or individuals who enjoy YA/MG literature. Highly recommend.

I’m a YA librarian and although I wish I had time to read every new title, of course I don’t. This podcast helps me keep up with a broad swath of teen lit, and also is a fun way to dive deeper into books I have read. Love it!

This is an amazing podcast and the last episode I listened to (The Hate U Give) covers all of the things I wanted to discuss with others about the differences from the book. Your episode made me cry; it not only *authentically* brings up topics we should all be discussing together, but makes me want to be a better ally for POC--and to be an accomplice! Thank you for this!

I am a high school ELA teacher and my intention was to check this out to hear about books to put in my classroom. I never expected to become obsessed. I literally listened to 3 episodes in a row the first time I listened, and one went I went for a walk that evening. I eventually caught up and I absolute love it! I cannot pick just one episode to rave about; They are all done so fantastically, and I cannot wait for more to come!
