The Fire Still Warm

Ophelia Page opens the series by examining modern book banning, from school board battles to algorithmic suppression. She traces the evolution of censorship from Bradbury's prophetic Fahrenheit 451 to today's digital erasure, exploring how books that dare to tell children they exist become targets. Through discussions of Toni Morrison's fights, current library challenges, and the rise of shadow-banning, she reveals how forbidden books become passwords between rebels. The episode culminates in a call to action: read banned books like evidence at a crime scene and share them like revolutionary secrets.Click here to browse handpicked Amazon finds inspired by this podcast series!https://amzn.to/44cW4lPThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
