Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place. Each season, we pick a new banned book, read it chapter by chapter out loud, and then talk about what might have gotten that chapter banned. In our sixth season, one thing that has stood out to us is that it seems like the people who want to ban books have never read them. Although we can find specific things here and there, nothing ever comes to the point where we would ...

We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe ...
