Join them as they re-read the Warriors series, offering new insights and old memories on the cat books they know and love. Updates every Tuesday!

Yellowfang takes her rightful place, Graypaw becomes a detective, and our heroes defeat ShadowClan and earn their warrior names in this last episode of Into The Wild! We quickly cover chapters 24 and 25. Then, we ruminate on our experiences with the book, the role of analysis and how consuming media differently affects what you take away from it.
"Fire alone can save our clan" says Starclan? Firepaw still does not get that this is about him as we get into Chapters 21, 22 and 23 of Into the Wild. We hope that when he levels up, he will add more points to his intelligence score, so we talk a little Dungeons and Dragons for our introduction today. We dig back into the culture of the clans as we learn more about Shadowclan and even discuss the paternity of several of our heroes.

Chapters 18, 19 and 20 of Into the Wild get the Hooked on a Feline Treatment in this pivotal episode. Here we cast Tigerclaw in iconic theatrical roles, discuss the logic of framing a child for espionage, and get some good Yellowfang bonding time. Firepaw finally learns about the “Fire alone can save our Clan” prophecy, and the truth behind Redtail's death. Will he do anything with this information? You'd be surprised! Listen as we realize just how dense these beloved characters from our childhood are, groaning all the way.
Picture this... a karaoke machine finds its way into the apprentices den and we speculate on which songs our favorite cats would sing and then journey to the Moonstone as we discussion chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17 this episode. Featuring how literal turns of phrase about cats are, how to carry kits and discussion on the laws of succession within the clans. Will we finally get confirmation on Redtail's death? The only way to find out is to listen (or read the books, I guess). Follow us on Twitter @hookedonfeline and Send your questions, comments or thoughts to hookedonafelinepodcast@gmail.com
We put on our movie critic hats as we look at the rumored cast for the 100% real Into the Wild movie, then settle in for our first Gathering as we discuss chapters 12 and 13. Featuring a spiritual trolley problem, defense of Jack Black, big cats (like, really big) and speculation on the political structure of feral cat colonies. Plus, a few more tantalizing crumbs of the mystery of Redtail's death. More like Deadtail, amiright?

Have you ever wanted to introduce your grandparents to a podcast about a juvenile fiction series about cats? This is the show for you, while we technically cover chapters 9, 10 and 11 of Into the Wild, we find ourselves talking about everything from if Firepaw would be a star on TikTok, to the role of medicine cats, and the rising tension between Tigerclaw and the apprentices (in a villain/hero way) and perhaps (one sided) romantic tension between Firepaw and Spottedleaf. Tune in this week for all of that and more!
