What followed was funny, furious, and full of heart.We talk about banned books, stupid censorship rules, Catholic school trauma, the power of kids’ stories, and why literacy might be our last line of defense.Also… yes, there’s a farting dragon.And if you're looking for something that doesn’t make you want to scream into a pillow, check out Good News for Lefties—a daily podcast with real wins, hopeful headlines, and actual reasons to stay in the fight.
