Description
Published in 2013, Catching Fire was the follow-up to Suzanne Collins’s wildly popular The Hunger Games… and on Episode 236, we’re back in the proverbial arena to discuss it! Tune in to hear conversations about love triangles, celebrity culture, trauma bonding, PTSD, movement-building, and more. Alli’s guest is an expert in public policy and economic disparity with a unique take on the world and culture of Panem. Heather McGhee designs and promotes solutions to inequality in America. Her award-winning, New York Times-bestselling book The Sum of Us was adapted for young readers in February of 2023. It was also adapted into a podcast by Higher Ground, Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company. Follow her on Instagram (@heathermcghee) and Twitter (@hmcghee).
