  • 'Anne of Green Gables' by L.M. Montgomery

    For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'Anne of Green Gables' by L.M. Montgomery. There is much reciting of favorite characters and incidents, and a certain amount of discussion of how Josie Pye is the worst. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

    In the next episode, we'll be discussing The Selection by Kiera Cass. We anticipate this discussion being less uniformly positive, so, if you miss our usual rants, tune in next time! And, if you want even more ranting from Carrie and Jake, then consider joining the Ear Trumpet Audio Patreon campaign at the $5/month level, and you'll get weekly bonus audio from us -- we're currently reviewing the CW's 'Riverdale' series.

  • Riverdale Chapter 1: The River's Edge

    Like a double-chocolate milkshake at Pop's, Riverdale seems sweet at first but leaves you wishing for death. Jake and Carrie love trashy YA fiction, and would love to have you join them in their new series, "Cry Me a Riverdale", where they will spoil the infamous CW show, swear a lot, and wonder if anyone in Riverdale is lactose intolerant.

    The first episode is available to everyone, and later episodes will be available only to Ear Trumpet Audio Patreon backers at the $5/month or higher level. We plan to release about an episode a week, possibly alternating with other discussions of other TV series by other Ear Trumpet Audio members. The Patreon page can be found at https://www.patreon.com/eartrumpet .

    Regardless of whether you decide to pledge at that level, we hope you enjoy our discussion of Riverdale Chapter 1: The River's Edge, and we thank you for listening!

    The theme song is "JOSIE HAS THE UPPER HAND" by Josh Woodward. Free download: http://joshwoodward.com/

  • 'The Boy in the Black Suit' by Jason Reynolds

    The most excellent Death Prattle podcast asked Carrie and Jake to come on and talk about a young adult novel, which we were happy to do! The book is The Boy in the Black Suit by Jason Reynolds. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening.

    'Death Prattle' is a podcast in which the hosts, Tara and Talcott, take a lighthearted look at death and grieving. We hope you enjoyed this sample episode, and if you did, then we recommend checking out their back catalog -- you can find them at http://www.prattlepod.com/ , or anywhere podcasts are found.

  • 'That Thing We Call A Heart' by Sheba Karim

    For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'That Thing We Call A Heart' by Sheba Karim. Carrie provides some useful analysis of YA fiction, while Jake talks about pie and declares his love for the dad in this book. We also note that thinking genocide is cool is a bit of a red flag in a relationship.

    Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

    In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Anne of Green Gables' by L.M. Montgomery, which you can get for free in various formats from Project Gutenberg.

  • 'Anna Dressed in Blood' by Kendare Blake

    For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'Anna Dressed in Blood' by Kendare Blake, a sweet, yet gory, horror YA book that they both really enjoyed.

    They also record two introductions to the episode, talk about the importance of spelling out in advance what you want people to do if you get killed by a ghost, and Jake also tells a mildly gross story about an adventure he had while taking out the trash, Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

  • 'Boys Don't Knit' by T.S. Easton

    Happy new year! For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'Boys Don't Knit (In Public)' by T.S. Easton. Fans of this book may want to know that we do eventually say a few nice things about the book, but it takes around fifteen minutes for us to get there.

    We also talk about plans for 2017, etsy dot com, beach reads, the Ender's Game of knitting, and yarn-related mysteries with punning titles, Carrie also apologizes to Jake's mom. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

  • 'Lola and the Boy Next Door' by Stephanie Perkins

    In this episode, Carrie and Jake react to the recent US Presidential election -- there's a lot of swearing -- and then they discuss a very sweet, romantic book, 'Lola and the Boy Next Door' by Stephanie Perkins, which is just what the doctor ordered.

    In addition to the election talk, Jake lists the parts of the book that made him cry, Carrie declares her love for a fictional character, and we dissect the question of how many pies you could reasonably be expected to make in a couple of hours, anyway. The Pumpkin Ball makes a repeat appearance as well. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

    In the next episode, by popular demand, we'll be discussing 'Boys Don't Knit (In Public)' by T.S. Easton.
