Hello Listeners! To make up for the podcast drought which has  undoubtably been causing great suffering in your days, we are releasing  this week's patron pod in the main feed! Aífe  and Ciara discuss two vital questions at the heart of YA Media: Why  aren't these kids in school? And WHERE are their parents? Every writer has to reckon with these questions somehow. Absent parent explanations include space prison, hibernation, conferences, and 'oh they're there.  They just aren't paying attention.' Take care of yourselves out there. We'll try have a normal one for October. -- If you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to forever young adult podcast for more of our thoughts on Young Adult literature, coming of age literature!
