Join Elysa, Matt, Greg and Penny for this awesome book club discussion.

-SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t read the book and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t listen!
-What were we anticipating from this book? How do we rate the books?
-The deaths….we jumped straight into that. We were especially broken up about one character’s death and as you’ll see we never really got over that throughout the episode.
-In our opinion, there was something in the book that was worse than death.
-As much as we loved the book, we thought it disappointed in some ways.
-But it also lived up to our expectations in many ways.
-We took some Twitter comments from all of you guys.

We’re queer. And we’re gonna podcast, dammit. We’ve managed to pull ourselves together for another excellent and informing episode of Smart Mouths. Join Andrew, Elysa, Greg, Micah and Penny for this latest installment of one of your favorite fortnightly podcasts.

In this episode:
-We got Mockingjay! But at the time of recording only one of us had finished it so we didn’t discuss it all. (Ergo, no spoilers here).
-But Elysa and Penny are an awesome lesbian couple with cute kids.
-Speaking of gay…what’s the Prop 8 status THIS week?
-Andrew and Greg get their geek on and compare 4Square to Facebook Places.
-In less great “place” news we talk about the flooding in Pakistan
-And we get pretty vocal about the Stem Cell Research halt.
-We play a new game and decide who is worthy of becoming a US Citizen….most people aren’t, and Elysa goes too easy on the Canadian.
-Also our listeners are generally unreliable :P (Kidding…love you all!)
-And happily, Micah is back with the WTF news. Fret not, the world is still pretty messed up.
-Finaly, Penny makes a shocking end of show recommendation.
