Fan Emails!
Hey guys, I have listened to all the episodes of your (amazing) podcast and I think I’m addicted :) How old are you (roughly I’m not creepy) also I ship Katniss and Foxface. Violet I dare you to say that Gale is better than Peeta. Btw, green is the best color and Nutella is gross. The Hunger Games is amazing. I got a 9 on the training score quiz and Katniss in the character one, and I won the Hunger Games in that one :)
Bye, Naomi from New Zealand
