The book? Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. The time? Right now.

Meggie and Laura are back at their insanely hot mics ready to cover the latest in the Hunger Games universe. We are going back in time to the 50th Annual Hunger Games where Haymitch Abernathy is a normal teen in district 12, until he's propelled into his almost certain death after being selected to participate in the games with twice as many tributes. 

SPOILERS AHEAD. Listen at your own risk lest the odds be ever in your favor.
