Fasten your SJW seatbelts because Brenna and Joe are tackling racism, privilege and duality in our most vital (and emotional) Chapter yet as we cover Angie Thomas\' amazing The Hate U Give and George Tillman Jr.\'s 2018 film adaptation.

The discussion about the book and recent racist events in the media brings one host to tears, prompts a rage-fuelled clap back against #AllLivesMatter, but we\'re mostly here to heap effusive praise on the best YA book we\'ve covered to date.

Plus: Brenna goes to bat for book two of Strong Female Protagonist, a web comic written by Brennan Lee Mulligan and drawn by Molly Ostertag while Joe saves his homework assignment with Becky Albertini and Adam Silvera\\u2019s cute queer romance, What If It\\u2019s Us.

Finally, in an unlikely scenario, we have to swap out a pair of YA Bingo spaces. Which ones get the chop? You\'ll have to listen to find out!
