#3 Podcast

My topic is young adult literature in high schools. This podcast is about graphic novels for girls, which is one of the latest trends in young adult literature. This podcast is in an interview format. The series is Mr. Media. In this podcast Bob Andelman interviews graphic novelist, Trina Robbins, of the "Go Girl" series. In this podcast the author discusses how the series was developed, and why she thinks graphic novels have become so popular.

Yahoo Podcasts was the search engine used to find this podcast.
