I'm With The Banned

In Episode 2 of Bean Caught Reading, an original podcast from Toil and Trouble Media, self-professed biblio-groupies Mistie Glendenning and Jennifer Beck take on one of the oldest ways to control what people think: controlling what they’re allowed to read. From challenged classics to modern censorship battles, we look at who decides which books are “dangerous,” who loses when they disappear from the shelves, and why access to ideas is always worth defending. Grab your favorite coffee. The books someone doesn’t want you reading might be the ones worth reading most.

Whimsical Wonders Jessica Sawka I love reading stories to children! I’ve enjoyed reading stories to my own children for as many nights, as I’ve been able to. On nights, when I am too tired, I have searched and searched for stories and audiobooks that we would enjoy. Sadly, I never did find any. So I decided that I was going to start my own!
