We're joined by podcaster Ben Udashen and fantasy author Karlo Yeager Rodriguez to discuss the massively popular His Dark Materials series, which uses YA fantasy to explore weighty topics like growing up, authority, the nature of belief, and magical talking animals. We also offer up our thoughts on the first two episodes of HBO's new TV adaptation, and possibly uncover a secret anti-Catholic agenda at Borders books.
