Episode 703: Evolutions in YA Fiction

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe decided we liked controversy, so we dove into the YA (Young Adult) genre of literature. We expect hate mail, but tis okay because we’ll just send it to Madam Stabby Stabb. Instead, we had fun talking about what YA means to us, how it is different from the middle grade genre and what the genre is becoming. This was a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
