In this episode, Carrie and Jake talk about Kendare Blake's 2021 YA horror novel 'All These Bodies', a sort of true crime podcast in the form of a period piece YA novel.

This week, Jake and Carrie suffer in exquisite ecstasy as they discuss 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 8: The Burial'. Is Sabrina playing 'The Secret of Monkey Island' poorly?

For this episode, Carrie and Jake barely scratch the surface of Tracy Deonn's debut novel 'Legendborn'. What a book! We both loved this YA tale of wizards, knights, and being a Black student at UNC-Chapel Hill. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

Who have two thumbs and an opinion about Stephanie Perkins's new YA horror novel, 'The Woods Are Always Watching'? Jake and Carrie do! Welcome to a new HOT TAKE SPECIAL, in which Jake speculates that Jon Arbuckle (of Garfield fame)'s old roommate was a serial killer, and Carrie points out a downside to stickshifts that many might overlook. The episode (and the book) has some kind of graphic descriptions of body trauma, so be aware of that. Also we definitely describe the plot in some detail. Spoilers ahoy!

Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake went for a walk in the Eversgreen Forest, critiqued Veronica's negotiating techniques, explored a haunted attic, and went shopping on Glamazon.

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

This episode, Jake and Carrie discuss 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 7: Feast of Feasts'. Carrie has the Shinning!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake read 'Darius the Great Deserves Better' by Adib Khorram. Carrie is a pretty good shell. Jake is making unapproved tea. Is penis mockery just part of growing up?

Another year, another episode of Sabrina! Today we're talking about 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 6: An Exorcism in Greendale', in which Suzie makes Jake sad, Hilda makes Carrie happy, and the mention of thirteen months makes us agree that that's just a lot of goddamned months.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake read 'Darius the Great is Not Okay' by Adib Khorram.

Hi again all! Welome back to Love YA Like Crazy, where, this episode, we're talking about ... a BOOK??? (It's true!) Specifically, 'A Song Below Water' by Bethany C. Morrow. This episode was recorded on August 20 -- sorry for the delay in getting to you! But this is being released the day before the 2020 US election, and I imagine that a lot of you are kind of stressed, so, for now, just put in your earbuds and think back to that far-off yesteryear of ten and a half weeks ago, when, uh ... Ah, hell, everything still sucked, didn't it? Never mind. But the book has a lot of things to talk about, and we hope you enjoy the discussion! As always, the episode contains a lot of spoilers, so you may wish to read the book first, if you prefer to remain unspoiled.

Jacob Haller of Love YA Like Crazy joins me to talk about Abducted: Fugitive of Love. A movie with more clever twists than it has to have and more nudity than expected, and we propose a TV-show spinoff "STAT!" about the a couple of minor characters. 

Some things are acceptable to be into, such as songs about partying, veils, and Val from Josie and the Pussycats. Then there are the things we can do without, such as football, journalism spa retreats, pointy sleepwear, and maple syrup jokes! We discuss this distinction, play 'Things I Bought At Sheetz', and more, in this week's episode of 'Over The Riverdale And Through The Woods', in which Love YA Like Crazy's Carrie and Jake discuss Riverdale Chapter 5: Heart of Darkness. Jake often worries that he goes overboard in adding audio clips to these things, so he just wants you to know that he came this → ← close to putting a little Weird Al into this episode, before listening to the better angels of his nature and deciding against it. The theme song is "JOSIE HAS THE UPPER HAND" by Josh Woodward. Free download: http://joshwoodward.com/

Welcome to Love YA Like Crazy! You're listening to a special episode recorded by one of the two hosts, Jacob Haller, while he was at PodX in Nashville. This is the last episode in the series, which I think goes out on a high note! For this one, Jake talked to Vox Media's Allegra Frank, who is also a cohost of 'The Polygon Show', about Andrew Clements's 'Things Not Seen', and we were also joined by past guest Simone de Rochefort, which was very excellent! Note that the discussion includes spoilers for 'Things Not Seen', as well as Clements's 'Frindle' and Libba Bray's 'Beauty Queens', and the final episode of Game of Thrones. As mentioned in this discussion, Libba Bray wrote an article about the experience of trying to bring 'Beauty Queens' to the big screen. You can find it on ew.com. The episode contains a brief clip from The Polygon Show's bonus episode about the Game of Thrones finale, in which a couple of the podcast's cohosts, Ashley Oh and Simone de Rochefort, improvise a missing scene from the show. If you enjoy it, I recommend listening to the rest of the show, and other episodes of the Polygon Show in general! Plus, a correction: Jake mentioned that he and Carrie previously recorded an episode about 'Shiver' by Maggie Stiefvater, except I called it 'Frozen'. Anyway, if you want to hear Carrie and me critique the book, here's a link to the episode! We recorded in a space provided by Netflix, for which we thank them! Thanks to Shaenon K.

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. Thanks to Shaenon K.

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. You can see one of the plates that inspired Alan Garner at https://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/whatson/whats-on/online/magical-books/the-owl-service , and you can see Tamar Williams tell the story of Blodeuwedd at https://youtu.be/Oysj9gIYqEY (this episode contains some short excerpts from this video).

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.

In this episode, Carrie, Jake, and special guest Hayden of the They See Me Rollin and That Gay Sh*t podcasts discuss 'Akata Witch' by Nnedi Okorafor. We also talk about forcing friends to read your screenplay (or listen to your podcast), try and fail to avoid talking about Harry Potter, and announce our new Patreon!!!

Tomorrow we'll be releasing a new episode in which we talk about 'Akata Witch' by Nnedi Okorafor with Hayden of the They See Me Rollin and That Gay Sh*t podcasts (but $5/month Patreon patrons can get it right now).

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.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Britta Lundin's debut novel 'Ship It'. They also talk about experiences at conventions, their (fairly minor) encounters with fanfic, the weird pornographic banner that Jake's downstairs neighbors hung up on their porch, movies based on video games, and all manner of other things. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Both hosts are pretty ignorant about fanfic, so if you're interested in learning about it, or are curious about some of the things we mentioned in the episode, here are some links: The OTPodcast, a podcast by fanfic writers and readers about issues in fanfic -- the episode 'RPF: When Fanfiction Gets Real' is about 'real person fanfic' and may be of particular interest 'No Reservations: Narnia', in which Anthony Bourdain goes to Narnia '"No Reservations: Narnia," a Triumph of Anthony Bourdain Fan Fiction', a New Yorker article about the above work of fanfic and Bourdain's own reaction to it Sam Syke's 'Stages of a Toxic Fandom The 2013 incident where Jensen Ackles (who plays Dean Winchester in the the TV series 'Supernatural') was asked a question by a bisexual woman at a convention Q&A The woman who asked the question provided her own description and analysis of the incident Britta Lundin's list of characters for 'Ship It', back when she was writing the first draft in 2015 In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, which is sometimes referred to as the first young adult novel.

For this episode, Jake flew to North Carolina so that he and Carrie could discuss 'The Hazel Wood' by Melissa Albert in person. Thanks to Jody [REDACTED] for recommending it, and to Alex [REDACTED] for her recommendation as well! We really appreciate you getting in touch with your suggestions. Also in this episode, Carrie decides against moving to Narnia, Jake analysis morality via Dungeons & Dragons, and we embrace ambiguity -- or do we? (Yes.) Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Jake mentions an episode of the Please Don't Send Me Into Outer Space podcast. It's episode 128, 'Battle for the Stars'. Also mentioned: Lifemark and They See Me Rollin. Check 'em out! In the next episode, we'll be discussing Ship It by Britta Lundin.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Rebecca Stead's 2009 young adult novel, 'When You Reach Me'. They also experience some major high school flashbacks and talk about Carrie's new cat. We both really liked the book, and we recommend you read it before listening to the podcast, which contains our usual mix of spoilers and swearing! At one point in the discussion, Jake references a Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch, which you can see online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1VxaMEjRU .

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Katie Coyle's "Vivian Apple at the End of the World". Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Jake describes this book as 'Left Behind for atheists', which seems designed to appeal to Carrie and Jake, and a lot of people clearly love it, but C&J really didn't. How can a book where the young female protagonist goes, sledgehammer in hand, to find the people responsible for the Rapture, fail to please the Love YA Like Crazy hosts? Listen to this episode to hear Carrie and Jake work their way through this question, and even find a few things they did like about the book. In the next episode, we'll be discussing Rebecca Stead's "When You Reach Me". We make a number of references to Neal Shusterman's book 'Unwind' in this episode. If you want to hear us talk about it in greater length, you can find it in episode 4 of this podcast in your favorite podcast listening app, or online at http://loveyalikecrazy.libsyn.com/unwind-by-neal-shusterman.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Lish McBride's "Hold Me Closer, Necromancer". How many uses do bowling bags have? What world are we going to leave for Keith Richards? What is the worst pun? How does Carrie feel about Goodreads? These questions are addressed, if not necessarily answered, in this episode. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Vivian Apple at the End of the World' by Katie Coyle.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'The Dust of 100 Dogs' by A.S. King, along with our Saturday morning cartoon routine, 80s names, and whether being cursed to be reborn as 100 dogs would actually be pretty awesome. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! The next book we'll discuss is 'Hold Me Closer, Necromancer' by Lish McBride. If you have any comments or suggestions, join us on our Goodreads page at https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/188869-love-ya-like-crazy, or tweet to us at https://twitter.com/loveYApod, or email us at podcast at loveYAlikecrazy.com.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Libba Bray's 'Beauty Queens'. Jake also references James Nicoll's review of the book, and Libba Bray's essay in Entertainment Weekly about attempts to make a Beauty Queens movie. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! We spend a lot of time reading jokes from the book, such as the names of hit songs from the nonexistent band Boyz Will B Boyz, and also find some points where this 2011 novel is uncomfortably close to 2017's political reality. We meditate on wild women, volcanoes, stuffed lemurs, and how Carrie wishes this book existed when she, herself, was a teen. The book is very fun and good, and we hope you enjoy our discussion of it! In our next episode, we plan to talk about 'The Dust of 100 Dogs' by A.S. King. If you have any comments or suggestions, join us on our Goodreads page at https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/188869-love-ya-like-crazy, or tweet to us at https://twitter.com/loveYApod, or email us at podcast at loveYAlikecrazy.com.

Carrie and Jake read the brand-new Stephanie Perkins novel, so it's time for another HOT TAKE SPECIAL in which we talk about her 'There's Someone Inside Your House', a YA horror/thriller novel! There's definitely a lot of spoilers, so you might want to read the book first! Jake also revels himself to be a million years old, Carrie gives a capsule review of corn pits, and we talk about authors we would like to be friends with. In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Beauty Queens' by Libba Bray (for real this time) -- check it out if you want to get a jump on things!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'The Selection' by Kiera Cass. Jake enumerates all the times he swore at the book, Carrie is intrigued to learn that there's an official Selection Coloring Book, and in general we probably spend more time dissecting the sociological underpinnings of the book than we do talking about the plot. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Beauty Queens' by Libba Bray -- check it out if you want to get a jump on things!

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.

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.

Episode 50 is a big deal. So is having a new show on the Ear Trumpet Audio network.  So, to celebrate both, we invited our newest podcast hosts, Jake and Carrie from Love YA Like Crazy to do an episode exchange.  I don't think they knew quite what they were getting themselves into when they said yes, but here we are and they've suffered through The Shunning, starring Michael Landon Jr. Michelle and Stephanie will be recording an episode of Love YA Like Crazy in the coming weeks so follow Ear Trumpet Audio on Facebook and Twitter! Also, you should totally subscribe to Love YA Like Crazy, which you can do at www.loveyalikecrazy.com

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.

We talk about human cafetoriums, Carrie records an ASMR video for vampire victims, we warn about the dangers of flaming hounds, and at the end we recommend some actually good vampire-related media.

Welcome to episode 1 of "Love YA Like Crazy," recorded even before we had decided on a name for it! In this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss the 2013 young adult fantasy romance parody 'Awoken' by Serra Elinsen, which is available in paperback or for kindle from Amazon. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Also, lots of Elder Old Ones, FUBU shirts, Rhode Island talk, and swearing. In the next episode, we'll be discussing Daniel Pinkwater's book "Young Adult Novel", which Amazon has available in a couple of different collections, and we'll each be reading our additions to the epic story that is "Kevin Shapiro, Boy Orphan."
