#100: "And Tango Makes Three" Beyond the Ban w/ Dr. Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell

In our landmark 100th episode, Erin Gruwell speaks with Dr. Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, award-winning authors of "And Tango Makes Three." This beloved book tells the true tale of two male penguins who hatch and raise a chick at New York's Central Park Zoo. Richardson, a psychiatrist at Columbia University, and Parnell, an acclaimed playwright, discuss the power of literature to save lives. They explore how books uplift marginalized voices and share inspiring stories — from pajama-clad read-ins in Singapore to brave teachers and librarians fighting book bans here in the United States. Listen closely and share boldly — because free people must read freely.
