The Hunger Games: Power, Propaganda, and the Price of Rebellion

In this episode, we dive into the world of The Hunger Games — not just as a bestselling YA series, but as a powerful political allegory. From the brutal symbolism of the Games themselves to the Capitol’s manipulation of media and myth, we explore how Suzanne Collins crafted a dystopia that feels eerily familiar.

What makes Katniss Everdeen such a compelling revolutionary figure? How does Panem reflect real-world systems of oppression and control? And what can we learn from the way stories are weaponized for (and against) power?

Whether you're a longtime fan or revisiting the series through a new lens, this episode is your deep dive into the rebellion, the spectacle, and the legacy of The Hunger Games.
