In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood.  We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces.  We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us? Grab your reading list and let's find out which books are actually worth your time!  No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

The U.S. Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 47.6 in April, down 10.7 percent from the final reading back in March. Bruce and Gaydos ask if the war with Iran is bringing down consumer confidence in the economy.

Oil prices rise as stocks show doubts about the U.S.-Iran ceasefire.

The Reserve Bank is expected to play it safe today as it releases the first Official Cash Rate since the Iran war began. Economists predict it'll remain at 2.25% until later this year. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Ryan Bridge the conflict is very much inflationary and bad for growth. She says until it's clear whether higher interest rates are required to head off persistent inflation or not – the best thing to do is stay in 'wait and see' mode. The OCR will be released at 2pm.

Oil prices ease, stocks rise.

The US Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has said that air strikes on Iran today will be the 'most intense' so far of the eleven-day war. In a news conference at the Pentagon, Mr Hegseth said America was achieving its war goals and winning with 'brutal efficiency' - and that Iran would be 'decisively defeated'. Also: Some local commuter services are expected to resume at Glasgow Central station tomorrow -- three days after a large fire in a neighbouring building forced it to close. And: On the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival, Lossiemouth -- trained by the leading Irish trainer, Willie Mullins -- stormed to victory in the Champion Hurdle, the first big race of the meeting.

US President Donald Trump says his country has knocked out much of Iran's military and killed senior figures of its regime.Both the US and Israel are conducting fresh strikes on Iran.Israel is also warning residents in parts of Lebanon to leave their homes ahead of what it says will be further attacks against Iran-backed group Hezbollah.Human rights activists say more than 1,000 civilians have been reported killed in Iran since the war began.The federal government is sending crisis teams to the Middle East to help Australians who are stuck in the region.It's estimated more than 115,000 Australians are stranded due to the ongoing conflict.Foreign Minister Penny Wong has revealed six new response teams will be deployed to  provide extra consular support.The minister wouldn't say how or where the teams were travelling due to security reasons.South Australia Police says "members" of Gus Lamont's family are "not cooperating" with investigations.The four-year-old disappeared from Oak Park Station in the state's mid north in September last year.Authorities have previously said a person residing at the Station is no longer cooperating and that police considered them a suspect.

Israel's launched fresh strikes on Iran and Lebanon as the war in the Middle East intensifies.Both Iranian and Israeli news agencies are reporting the IDF has attacked an Iranian industrial area and several airports, while the US says it has now struck 1700 targets in Iran.Iran's Red Crescent says 787 people have been killed in the country since the war began on Saturday.Iran has continued to retaliate with attacks on oil and gas infrastructure and US embassies in gulf countries, and continued attacks in Israel.Meanwhile, Israel has continued strikes in Lebanon, targeting senior Hezbollah figures and financial institutions.US President Donald Trump says he believes Iran was going to attack first, contradicting comments made by his top diplomatSecretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters the US had to strike to stop an "imminent threat" because Israel was planning to attack Iran, which would have prompted Iran to attack American interests.But President Trump says if anything, he feels he forced Israel's hand, saying he felt Iran would attack, although he didn't provide any evidence.Officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have been told to cancel all non-essential overseas travel as the government prepares for a potentially massive consular response in the Middle East.Up to 115 thousand Australians are in the Middle East, with many stranded due to the ongoing closure of airspaces.DFAT has now activated its 24 hour crisis centre to help coordinate the response to the situation which foreign affairs minister Penny Wong has described as "unprecedented."  Former Liberal member for Menzies, Keith Wolahan, is urging his party to heed the lessons of an election review which found the party's policies and leadership had alienated women, young people and migrants.The Prime Minister tabled the review, which the Liberal Party decided not to make public, during question time yesterday.Mr Wolahan says the Liberal Party needs to appeal to urban Australia, and better speak to, understand and fight for aspirational multicultural families.Jackie Henderson has resigned as co-host of the Kyle and Jackie O show, following an on-air argument late last month.Ms Henderson handed in her notice stating that she couldn't continue working with Kyle Sandilands, terminating her 100 million dollar contract with ARN Media.Sandilands has also been taken off-air for a two week period, and if he doesn't respond to a written notice from ARN in this time, his contract will be terminated.ARN says the show is being taken off-air immediately.  

2026-02-21 | UPDATES #137 | A War Foretold — And Still Ignored. Four years ago, Europe woke up to missile trails over Kyiv and the lie many had been telling themselves: “Putin won't do it.” That's not just the public, but also experts, historians, politicians and diplomats. Today, The Guardian publishes a deeply sourced reconstruction of the months before 24 February 2022 — how the CIA and MI6 pieced together the invasion plan, why much of Europe didn't buy it, and why Kyiv didn't want to hear it. (The Guardian) The piece was authored by journalist Shaun Walker. In November 2021, CIA Director William Burns tries to see Putin in person — but gets a phone call instead. Burns tells Putin the US believes Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine; Putin shrugs it off and pivots to his own grievances. Burns comes away convinced war is coming.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the latest grim milestone in Gaza as Israeli forces kill over 70,000 Palestinians.

Ukraine has been hit by the biggest aerial attack from Russia since the war began. BBC's Ukraine Correspondent James Waterhouse spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Russian drones and missiles hit nearly every district of Kyiv overnight. A record 539 drone and 11 missiles strikes were recorded by Ukrainian authorities. Meanwhile, Dutch and German intelligence agencies have warned that Russia's use of chemical weapons in Ukraine is intensifying in both frequency and strength. Also on the programme: Donald Trump is due to sign the "Big Beautiful Bill." And music's "bad-boy" brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are onstage together for the first time in sixteen years as Oasis play their first reunion show in Cardiff.

Ukraine's Ambassador to Canada Yuliya Kovaliv says Russia is increasingly attacking civilians after it targeted Kyiv overnight with waves of drones and missiles in its largest aerial assault since the full-scale invasion. Kovaliv responds to concerns about Ukraine's decision to pull out of an anti-landmine treaty. Plus, economist Don Drummond breaks down his shadow 'fiscal update' with the C.D. Howe institute, explaining why he believes new defence spending promises could balloon the deficit to over $90 billion.

Die Neuveröffentlichung von "Red Dawn" auf UHD beflügelte Martin, dem von ihm vielgehassten, kontroversen Kalten-Kriegs-Klassiker (ui, was für ne Alliteration) von 1984 eine erneute Chance zu geben, und siehe da, mit der neuen Bildqualität folgte auch eine zumindest etwas neue Perspektive, die nach einer Diskussion und inhaltlichen Auseinandersetzung verlangte. Sergej zeigte sich willig, auch der Begleitfilm, der australische "Tomorrow, When The War Began" von 2010 wurde akzeptiert. Das Streitgespräch war intensiv, aber unterhaltsam, was sich hoffentlich auch auf das Hörvergnügen bei dieser Folge auswirkt. Viel Spaß!

Since Hamas militants attacked Southern Israel on October 7, taking roughly 1200 lives, and capturing hundreds of hostages, the Israeli military has responded with overwhelming force in Gaza. Bombs and other military actions have killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Most of the homes, businesses, schools and mosques in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed – and millions have been displaced.And there is no end in sight to the bombardment. The U.S. State Department says Hamas has refused for weeks to engage in cease-fire talks. Previously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly stalled a cease-fire and hostage deal by adding new conditions to negotiations.For the past 12 months, Palestinian Americans and the wider Muslim community in the Seattle area have been urging the U.S. to halt weapons transfers and funding to Israel. On Saturday, roughly 500 protesters gathered at Pier 62 on Seattle's waterfront to demand change.  Yesterday, we spoke with members of Seattle's Jewish community about how they're remembering the first anniversary of the October 7th attack on Israel. Today, we're speaking with members of Seattle's Palestinian and Muslim communities about the effects of the war in Gaza. Guests: Akram Baioumy, an Imam with MAPS (Muslim Association of Puget Sound)  Yaz Kader, a Palestinian American and an uncommitted delegate from Washington state at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. He's also the author of a new Op-Ed in Real Change News, called “Silencing the Palestinian voice at the local and national levels”.

Monday marked the one year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 people, including women and children, were taken hostage. The Oct. 7 attacks sparked a war Israel continues to wage against Hamas in Gaza. According to the health ministry there, 41,000 people have been killed, many of them women and children, and much of Gaza has been damaged or destroyed. And now the war faces new fronts as in recent weeks, Israel has sent troops into and trades rocket fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and shields itself from missiles from Iran, of which Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies. On this episode of the "Sound of Ideas," we will have a conversation, about how the war is impacting communities locally in NE Ohio. We'll hear directly from a panel of local faith and community leaders about this toll and ask if there's been anything over the last year that's given them solace or hope.

Thanks to listener Miriam, we're tackling John Marsden's Tomorrow, When The War Began (1993), as well as its 2010 film adaptation by Stuart Beattie and the Brendan Maher-directed season of TV from 2016.This massive Australian hit is highly teachable, though don't go looking for commentary on colonialism or political curiosity from its teenage protagonists. The film is a big budget action film that Joe prefers, while Brenna likes the direction and relationship between the kids in the TV series, even if both adaptations lean into uncomfortable racism in their depiction of the invading force.

It's been two decades since the U.S. invaded Iraq over alleged weapons of mass destruction. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and no “WMDs” were found.
