89: Banned Books Week




Talk the Talk show

Summary: Do you read banned books? It's Banned Books Week — when we celebrate books that have been targeted for being obscene, indecent, blasphemous, and seditious. Banning (and sometimes burning) books is popular in the USA, but there's plenty of censorship going on in Australia, too. Linguist Daniel Midgley finds the books they don't want you to read on this episode of Talk the Talk.
