Rereading the Revolution

by Kellie and Daphne

Whether it was a reaction to the politics of the time or the rapidly approaching end date of the Mayan calendar, the pop-cultural landscape of the early 2010s can be best remembered for one thing: dystopian literature. Join plucky young heroines and podcast hosts Daphne and Kellie as they dive into all of your favorite young adult novels and series from this era as we reread the revolution. We lived through it once and are back to recap, review, and discuss all the best and worst that the world-shifting genre of YA fiction has to offer–the sci-fi, the fantasy, and the supernatural–at least until our society crumbles and we have to survive a brave new world. Follow us on social media at @rereadingtherevolution for updates, and email us at rereadingtherevolution@gmail.com with any comments or episode suggestions! Hosted on Acast.

After listening to the Hunger Games Series recap, I’m now ready to dive into Sunrise/Reaping! The hosts keep it lively with details I missed or forgot and storyline connections I hadn’t put together. Thank you!

Carly_Latham · Jul 2025

I have been loving this podcast and always look forward to new episodes. I am really particular with podcasts and don’t listen to many but this is my go-to when I’m driving or doing chores around the house. Daphne and Kellie are so fun and engaging! Listening is like discussing the books with my friends when I was reading them for the first time. I also subscribe to their Patreon and love the bonus episodes so much! (and no ads! 😂)

worldsokayestdrummer · May 2025

This is my favorite podcast! Kellie and Daphne, you both have incredible insights and analysis. I love how you perfectly balance praising and critiquing each book. I look forward to every other Friday when a new episode drops, please keep up the amazing work!

Pagesandpastimes · Apr 2025

From the clever episode titles to the deeply insightful analysis, I love everything about this podcast! The hosts have a great rapport and lovely guests. It’s so fun deep diving into so many books I grew up loving, as well as several I knew of but didn’t read or watch myself. Daphne and Kellie are fun, intelligent, and dedicated to their craft. Highly recommend!
