Elsewhere, Despite wide traveling rumors, James Gunn affirmed that Matt Reeves is still set to direct The Batman 2 with his Threads response “Yes.

Danielle goes dystopic with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. This 2020 prequel to The Hunger Games follows the charming romantic misadventures of Cornelius Snow; the charismatic ne'er-do-well who brought us such classics as failing to kill Katniss Everdeen, destroying his own despotic regime, and not understanding the plight of the common man. Flashback to teenage Cornelius who has been tapped for the prestigious role as mentor in the tenth annual Hunger Games. Once wealthy, his family has fallen on hard times and thanks to the promise of a monetary prize to the mentor of the best-in-show tribute, he is in it to win it. Unfortunately, he gets assigned the suckiest tribute: the girl from district 12. Bummer. Just kidding. She sings! And wears colors! And has a weird affinity for snakes! Cornelius can work with that. Unfortunately, though ten years into the Games, they are shockingly ill-run and Sam and Danielle have THOUGHTS. The Gamemaker is more concerned with creating mutated animals that will not help them keep their dystopia in check, they did not invest in an event planner, and nobody has thought to feed the tributes. Oh no, what's a boy who needs to win the Hunger Games to do? Join Danielle and Sam as they try to make kid-to-kid combat funny, discuss their ideal dystopian regimes (spoiler: they'd be excellent at organizing The Hunger Games), and deep-dive into the mind of the innovative young man who is just trying to help his country be as successful as it can be.

Enter the arena again but alongside Haymitch as he represents district 12 in the fight to not only stay alive, but to safeguard his reasons to keep living with your host Jen and guest readers, Kim and Ashley, as they discuss The Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins.Trigger warnings: character deaths, child abuse, death of children, torture, destruction, weaponsWarning before listening: This episode does contain spoilers for this book as well as mentions of the Hunger Games trilogy in total.  Brief mentions of the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.Click here for The Bookstop's Instagram, to subscribe to the Patreon, and for previous podcasts from The Bookstop:  https://linktr.ee/thebookstoppodcast?utm_source=qr_codeSupport the show

Are we in the cultural zeitgeist yet? This week, Cyrus and Sarah cover Sunrise on the Reaping AND The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, the two latest Hunger Games novels, both of which are prequels to the original trilogy. Did our intrepid readers kind of forget how brutal these books can get? Yeah a little bit. But if we've learned anything from the Animorphs episodes, Cyrus and Sarah love it when teenagers experience inconceivable horrors. Also discussed are the comings and goings of tiny animals in our house, the fallout of the book-reading challenge thunderdome, and Cyrus forgetting that marsupials are, in fact, mammals. May the odds be ever in your favor! Is this anything? Support the show

Songbirds are in danger because of a threat you may not think of. Windows. Ben Jarboe visits with Lisa Gaumnitz from Save Our Songbirds. She says that every year approximately 3.5 billion birds die from running into windows. SOS is trying to raise awareness about the issue and educate consumers on what they can do to help. Severe weather cascaded across Wisconsin last night. Stu Muck says that things start improving today. Wisconsin farms may be unaware that labor trafficking in agriculture could be happening right in front of them. Stephanie Hoff gets familiar with this issue from Mariana Rodriguez, Director of UMOS Latina Resource Center in Milwaukee. She gives advice on what farms should be looking for when hiring contract labor to avoid legal implications. She starts us off by explaining what labor trafficking is: recruitment, harboring, and transporting of workers and using force, fraud, or coercion for labor services. Wisconsin farmers already have 6% of their soybeans in the ground, 4% of the corn is planted and 41% of the state's spuds are already in the ground. Although tillage is running behind at 26% complete, the winter wheat has improved by 6% points to 58% good to excellent. Pam Jahnke shares the stats. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend joins Pam Jahnke. Tariffs are still looming in the marketplace. Heinberg says consumer confidence is still supporting beef as the grilling season unfolds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – Propaganda, Complicity, and Haymitch's StoryIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki welcome special guest Danielle from WrittenInTheStarWars to dive deep into Suzanne Collins' newest novel in The Hunger Games franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping. The trio explores how this prequel reveals the true story behind Haymitch Abernathy's Games and challenges what readers thought they knew from the original trilogy.What makes Suzanne Collins' writing unique in YA literature?The hosts discuss Collins' masterful use of first-person narrative, with Danielle highlighting how Collins understands both the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Her intentional structuring of chapters and story arcs keeps readers engaged while delivering complex themes accessible to young adults without oversimplifying them. The conversation explores Collins' famous quote: “I don't write about adolescents. I write about war for adolescents.”How does propaganda shape the story in Panem?Sunrise on the Reaping reveals how the Capitol manipulates narratives, showing that what Katniss learned about Haymitch's Games was heavily edited propaganda. The book explores how different forms of propaganda work—from entertainment spectacles to subtle messaging that convinces citizens the Games are necessary for peace. Characters like Effie Trinket demonstrate how effective this indoctrination can be, while others show resistance to these manufactured stories.What do we learn about Haymitch as a character?The novel provides a stark contrast between the real Haymitch and the persona crafted by Capitol editors. Readers discover he was someone who refused to think of other tributes as enemies, consistently protected others, and maintained his humanity throughout the Games. The book also reveals his tragic journey toward alcoholism, showing how it began as medical treatment before becoming his coping mechanism for trauma and loss.Other topics discussed:How Maysilee Donner evolves from a "mean girl" to one of the book's most compelling charactersWhy Collins may have written this book now as a response to current political eventsThe difference between how Haymitch's relationship with Maysilee was portrayed in propaganda versus realityThe careful way Collins handles familiar characters from the original trilogy appearing in the prequelThe humanity of Career tributes and how they too are victims of the Capitol's systemThe theme of complicity and how everyone in Panem's system becomes part of maintaining its horrorsThe conversation concludes by reflecting on how Collins uses her storytelling to encourage readers to question propaganda in their own lives and recognize complicity in unjust systems. By revisiting Haymitch's Games, she reminds us that history is often written by the victors—but truth can be a powerful tool for rebellion.LinksFollow these links to earlier discussions on The Hunger Games with Danielle:The Hunger GamesThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

During migrations over thousands of miles, songbirds rest during daylight hours and fly at night. In contrast to the many larger birds flying in flocks, songbirds tend to fly solo....

My friend Eva joins me for this episode, since both of us just finished Sunrise on the Reaping, and honestly? We are not okay. This book completely wrecked us (yes, there were tears), and now we have no idea how to pick up another book. In this episode, we dive deep into how this prequel compares to the original Hunger Games books, the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and the movies. We break down the incredible connections, the devastating Easter eggs, and the haunting truth that Snow never really moved on from Lucy Gray—even 40 years later. If you love pain, heartbreak, and mind-blowing details about the Hunger Games universe, this one's for you!

"Two things I love: you and cheating."We're back and rejoined by special guest and Ballad movie superfan Mara to cover the most recent movie in The Hunger Games series, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023).

Send us a textWelcome back to Ashley & Liz's dystopian sci fi episode bonus series: The Hunger Games!Today we go back in time to discuss President Snow and his origin story. How exactly did he become a “villian” and what does his evolution into a tyrannical dictator say about the society that created him? How did Panem and the games themselves evolve into the world we know?This book is full of so many amazing “easter eggs” and tie-ins to the original trilogy. We're ready to pick those apart and make all of those connections with you as we gear up for our final book episode all about Sunrise on the Reaping. If you've been following along and watched our “From 1984 to Hunger Games” dystopian themes in media and literature episode then you know we're fascinated with everything about this genre and need to delve into this discussion! It just happens to be a BIG bonus that Ashley had never read it before. The debate currently on the book talk table is whether or not books (and the act of reading) are inherently political. We'd encourage anyone who has a doubt in their mind to read this series… with themes like media control, a totalitarian regime, and rebellion, it's hard to see how it ISN'T political.Episode 4 covers book 4 (or 0.5?): A Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes by Suzanne Collins. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star reviews. Then we jam pack this mini episode with an entire plot summary in five sentences (yes, with a keyboard…), discuss what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings, notable quotes, and add a fun piece of prequel trivia. Then we wrap this up with a little smash or pass and some big excitement to read the new book with all of you! Don't be shy, subscribe!

"The takes are...catching fire."Things get a little contentious this week as we discuss the most divisive book in the Hunger Games series, Suzanne Collins' President Snow prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020).Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

Send us a textWelcome back to Ashley & Liz's dystopian sci fi episode bonus series: The Hunger Games!Today we get SERIOUS as we discuss the amazingly well written, heart wrenching grand finale to the original trilogy. What parallels do we see reflected in real life? Are the dystopian themes regarding media control, rebellion, war, government control, environmental degradation and resource allocation applicable to today's world? Come with us as we open these topics of discussion through a Katniss Everdeen lens.If you've been following along and watched our “From 1984 to Hunger Games” dystopian themes in media and literature episode then you know we're fascinated with everything about this genre and need to delve into this discussion! It just happens to be a BIG bonus that Ashley had never read it before. The debate currently on the book talk table is whether or not books (and the act of reading) are inherently political. We'd encourage anyone who has a doubt in their mind to read this series… with themes like media control, a totalitarian regime, and rebellion, it's hard to see how it ISN'T political.Episode 3 covers book 3: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star reviews. Then we jam pack this mini episode with an entire plot summary in five sentences (yes, with a keyboard…), discuss what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings, notable quotes, and add a fun piece of Hunger Games trivia. Then we wrap this trilogy up with the ultimate Gale vs. Peeta debate. Were these characters meant to represent something much larger than themselves? We'll see… and then we'll dive right into A Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes… because obviously Snow was a smash.

Hello Happy February Destiny and I talk about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collinsprequel to The Hunger Games, TheBallad of Songbirds and Snakes, takes readers back to the earlydays of the infamous Panem arena, centering on an 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow beforehe became President. The novel and its film adaptation, released in 2023, bothprovide a gripping look at his transformation, yet they diverge in ways thatimpact the story's depth and character development.We highly recommend watching the movie and reading the book.

This week I decided to release the weekly countdown. If you don't know what that is, It's the top 10 voted on by  the fans and 5 new songs from artists all over the world, different styles and different Genres. If you want to be on the show or part of the countdown just ask me how.

In a conversation with John Maytham, Kim Kallie is joined by her husband, Iain Banner, to reflect on her musical journey and the deep artistic bond she shares with Mynie Grové. She discusses how their paths intertwined in the vibrant entertainment scene of the '80s, from TV specials to songbook collaborations, and what audiences can expect from their new show, The Songbirds.

For small songbirds, surviving a cold winter night can be challenging. Their bodies lose heat faster than those of larger birds. So little birds have found resourceful ways to stay warm — like huddling close together with other birds. But the Verdin, a tiny bird of the Southwest, does something few other birds do to keep warm: it builds extra nests to roost in, in the winter.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Songbirds celebrate the twilight, wishing one another pleasant dreams at the close of another perfect day. Rest and relax now, knowing that all is right with the world. ---

Let's welcome to the Georgia Songbirds Family  local singer-songwriter Solo Lowit. Solo and her Mama came up to the studio to tell stories and play music, and did we have fun. I may have found a co-host in Mama Lowit. We talked about Family, Dolly, AI, Wrestling and so much more. Solo even played us a few songs and let me tell you if you don't know this young lady keep an eye out for her. So pull up a seat and listen to our conversation

Birdwatching has become a popular pastime. Birdwatchers are convinced that birds have intrinsic value and that protecting them is essential. However, enthusiasm doesn't always lead to social consensus. Elected officials answer to voters, and corporate executives answer to shareholders. University of Utah ornithologist Cagan Sekercioglu says that to influence policymakers, it's crucial to “offer credible research showing that healthy bird populations are essential to human welfare.”

Let's Welcome to the Georgia Songbirds family a local singer-songwriter from Georgia Edd Saxon. Edd came by the studio to play a few songs and tell some stories and did we have fun. We talked about small towns, Johnny Cas, Nickajack Cave, Backyard Country and more. Edd even played us a few songs live. So pull up a seat and listen in to our conversation

Songbirds delight us with their music, but at times they might sound repetitive. That's because songbirds have to practice their singing to keep performing at their best. Researchers studying Zebra Finches found that females preferred the songs of males that had been practicing consistently compared to males that had taken a break from singing for a few days. So it seems that birds must keep their vocal muscles in shape to make sure everyone hears them loud and clear.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
