Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 11:03PM Brand new segment testing our nature knowledge and how we would survive in the games is debuted. News stories include a hint at a new trailer and coverage of the KCAs. Chapter 18 of Catching Fire is discussed, as always questions come up. Does Katniss' family really believe she is pregnant? Would people judge Katniss and Peeta for getting pregnant if they hadn't gotten "married" before? Have Peeta and Katniss mastered the art of deception? Can Peeta survive only using his wits? Do the Capitol citizens even think to question the Games or is it too ingrained to obey the Capitol? To end the show we connect the rebellion to a song, read some listener emails, and recommend a classic dystopian book.
Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 2:57PM The anniversary of The Hunger Games movie is celebrated as we reminisce. While playing a game with The Capitol Portraits we discuss why only select characters are holding white roses. Is this Katniss' wedding dress and Peeta's wedding suit? Why does Finnick wearing a kilt and looking like a pirate? We talk about Lionsgate's marketing strategy centered around social media. Loads of questions arise during our analysis of Catching Fire, Chapter 17. Why didn't Suzanne Collins develop Peeta's family as characters? Why do we never experience Peeta grieving over their deaths? Are Katniss and Peeta's acts during their private sessions rebellious? What did the other tributes do during their private sessions? Why did the Gamemakers give Katniss and Peeta a score of twelve?

We analyze Katniss and Finnick's relationship. We question why Chaff didn't accept a prosthetic arm. Would Darius and Katniss had a romance if she hadn't been a tribute? Would Katniss and Peeta have ended up like all the other victors as a celebrity if only one of them had made it out of the arena alive? We feature a fanfiction that takes place on Katniss and Peeta's first date. To end the show we relate a romantic song to Finnick and Annie's relationship.

Friday, November 30, 2012 at 2:43PM Report on 8 news stories including Suzanne Collins' new book, competition Catching Fire will face in theaters against other dystopian books, People's Choice Awards HG nominations, first look at Catching Fire filming, director confirmed for last 3 HG films, and the teaser trailer. In our chapter analysis we contemplate if Gale is the bad boy and Peeta is the golden boy. What defines a bad boy? What flaws does Peeta have? Is it more captivating to read a book with a character you can relate to or a character who is drastically different than you? If Katniss saw a fortune teller who informed her of Prim's fate would Katniss have still volunteered as a tribute?

Sunday, October 21, 2012 at 6:38PM News includes tons of leaked pictures of sets and actors. The focus is on Chapter 9 of Catching Fire where we bring up questions. Would Peeta made a better leader and mockingjay for the rebellion? Could Katniss have rallied District 12 to replicate District 8's uprising? Is Katniss a piece in someone else's game? Is it external forces or internal forces that cause Katniss to hurt others around her? We feature a FanFic on the perspective of Peeta when he goes back to "take care of" the girl that lit the fire in the 74th Games. We end the show with some listener feedback and a book recommendation.
