We do a close reading of Drama by Raina Telgemeier, which was the seventh-most-banned book between 2010 and 2019. Drama is notable because it was one of the first graphic novels to include gay characters.  We discuss our opinions of Drama's characters, themes, and significance. Please see Episode 7 for a discussion of why the book has been banned recently. Thanks to Chris for our music and to Lizzie for our audio editing (for all of our episodes)!
