If you listened to our episodes about the rise of book banning, you heard about the efforts around the U.S. to censor books on sexual or racial grounds. However it seems there's a lot more going on than that. One of the guests that we spoke with – NYTs Bestselling author Jodi Picoult – has firsthand experience with book banning. Picoult's book, 19 Minutes, has been banned in school boards across 24 states, and she was kind enough to join us for an interview. While only some of it made it into our episode, we now present the full Jodi Picoult interview.Website: https://listen.podglomerate.com/show/missing-pages/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xe_qmLMDvITranscript: https://listen.podglomerate.com/show/missing-pages/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/missingpagespod/X: https://twitter.com/misspagespodHosted by writer and literary critic Bethanne Patrick.Produced by the <a href="https://thepodglomerate.com/">Podglomerate</a>.
