BPC Bulletin: The Velshi Banned Book Club
News Reports and Commentary Selected by Franklin Carter of the Book and Periodical Council’s Freedom of Expression Committee.
In the United States, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi plans to launch the Velshi Banned Book Club this month.
In each episode of the podcast, a different author of a banned book—including Margaret Atwood, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Laurie Halse Anderson, George M. Johnson and others—joins Mr. Velshi to talk about why people try to ban their books and about the literature itself.
The first two episodes should air on August 24, 2023.
