This episode we attempt to discuss Darren Simpson's "icky, poignant, compelling" Scavengers without giving away too much of the plot. This book is not YA, so how old is Landfill, the hero, meant to be? Also does gender balance matter, or is the more important question how the different genders are represented? And why are the books that inspired Darren Simpson so bleak?
