Jake recently went to the PodX podcasting conference in Nashville, and talked to some of the podcasters there about YA books, or books that were important to them when they were young. Starting tomorrow, and continuing every week until we run out of interviews, we'll be posting these in the feed. This episode gives you a little sneak peek at these discussions.

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Lee LeBreton of 'Within the Wires' discussing Madeleine L'Engle's 'Many Waters'
• Jeffrey Cranor, also of 'Within the Wires', on Sarah Maria Griffin's 'Spare and Found Parts' and Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland'
• Julie Shapiro, executive director of Radiotopia, and Carrie Poppy of 'Oh No Ross and Carrie', each talking about Louise Fitzhugh's 'Harriet the Spy'
• Hal Lublin of 'We Got This with Mark and Hal' talking about Piers Anthony's 'Xanth' books, among other things
• Ross Blocher of 'Oh No Ross and Carrie' discussing Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
• Simone de Rochefort of 'The Polygon Show' talking about Libba Bray's 'A Great and Terrible Beauty'
• Allegra Frank, also of 'The Polygon Show', discussing Andrew Clements's 'Things Not Seen'

These recordings were mostly made in a recording room that Netflix provided, except for Ross and Carrie's, which was recorded on my phone as we crouched down in a semi-secluded corner by an elevator.

These are people from some of Jake's favorite podcasts, and he was very excited (and somewhat terrified) to talk to them! We hope you enjoy the discussions.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss The Owl Service by Alan Garner. Along the way, Jake sings a tribute to a listener named RobertTheBruceWayne, Carrie reveals whether she would rather be an owl or flowers, and we struggle with Welsh names (sorry).

In the next episode, we'll be discussing American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang.

In this special surprise Christmas episode, Carrie and Jake talk about (among other things) Little Rabbit Foo Foo, horny robot giraffes with French accents, and how being a gasket builds character. We also explore the Eden Five Needs You 4 extended universe. From all of this, you may deduce that we read Andrew Smith's latest YA novel, Rabbit & Robot. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

In the next episode, we'll be discussing The Owl Service by Alan Garner.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, a 1942 novel considered by some the first YA novel. The protagonist of the book is fairly innocent and chaste, but our discussion of the book is neither. (I don't know, that's just how it turned out!) We also talk about em dashes and exclamation points.

Our discussion includes spoilers, so you may wish to read the book before listening. Before you do that, though, we recommend checking out Daly's short story 'Sixteen', which was written the year before Seventeenth Summer, won an O. Henry Award, and has a similar flavor. It is included in various short story collections, and I also found a copy at http://racheli.tripod.com/winter/sixteen.html .

In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Akata Witch' by Nnedi Okorafor, as recommended by Hayden of the They See Me Rollin podcast.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake talk about 'Hole in the Middle' by Kendra Fortmeyer, which was released in hardcover and ebook editions today! As always, spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening. Also, note that there's a fair amount of swearing.

In the course of our discussion, we talk about metaphorical whatnots, fanfic, and banging, and our favorite gameshow, 'How Much The Worst Is Archie?', makes an unexpected return.

Our thanks to Kendra Fortmeyer, and to Monica White of Soho Teen, for getting us pre-release copies of the book.

In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, which is sometimes referred to as the first young adult novel.
