Ep 2: Book Banning For Dummies

Buckle up folks, this one is a doozy! Books are being banned all across the country, and we're here to talk about it, along with a bit of a free history lesson (you're welcome). To quote our Lord and Savior Stephen King: "If they ban a book in your school, haul your ass to the nearest bookstore or library ASAP and find out what they don't want you to read."

And don't mind the squirrelling. We all have ADHD around here. We're working on it. Stay tuned soon for a new website and Patreon.

Don't forget you can find us @practicallybookishpodcast and thank you for hanging out!
