Banned Books | A History of Putting Books on Blast (TSB126)
Sep 27, 2018•13 min•Ep. 126
Episode description
Only a few more weeks until The Story Behind book is out! And one of my podcasting mentors and buddies Dave Jackson gave me the idea to do a bunch of episodes relating to books around this time to hopefully set the mood for its release.
While I was looking into different topics, I found out that the week this comes out, the week from September 23-29, 2018, is Banned Books Week, so what better time to have that as a topic.
I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Banned Books.
