Interesting books but please reduce the chatter. Some is discussion is good and provides observation and insight , but please please please reduce it. I don’t find it distracting . Thank you.
Apple Podcasts4NV SGUnited States2 months ago Amid all the recent book bans around the US, I've been on a mission to read every book on the banned list. I found this podcast in my search, and it's been fantastic. Jen & Dan reading through and discussing each selection from cover to cover is extremely helpful when trying to make sense of senseless censorship. I highly recommend this show to anyone else who just wants some evidence of common sense still existing in the world.
