Episode 247: The Lightning Round!

This week, Josh and Dietrich reach back through their catalog to revisit topics from the decade they've been doing this show. With only four minutes per topic, the pair are able to touch on nearly a dozen different topics, exploring how their answers have changed (or not) in regards to young adult as a genre, overdone tropes, gifts for readers, genre blending, and much more. It's a segment that demonstrates their bizarre ability to wrap up sentences mere seconds before the timer goes off. In addition, Josh raves about a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, as well as one of the best science fiction books he's read in years, while Dietrich revisits Pratchett. Finally, they wrap up with Chernobyl, The Deuce, and the disappointments of Dark Phoenix and Jessica Jones. You can send questions or comments to [email protected].
