@bleakfuture @forteller @cstross I don't know if trying to get into the sick minds of people who want to ban all the books that normalize real life of people of color and people who might not align with strict gender expectations is the way to go - especially with a young teen.

Talking about what makes the books worth reading and celebrating the authors' work will take a lot of effort.

Disability. Abuse survivors. Mental health, depression and suicide. Kid athiests. Gay-Straight Alliances

All of these things have spawned moral panics during my lifetime.

Our Bodies, Our Selves should be in every home library.

@bleakfuture Absolutely. I think it's brilliant. Get a big "name" for opening segment. Gives youu a promotional hook. Also structure so ppl will not only like but subscribe. Make that super-easy. You want to convert your one-time listeners-watchers into regulars. I'm former or and marketing. If you want to knock around some ideas let me know... [email protected] Best of luck, great project!

PS: Consider a VLOG.

@bleakfuture one more thing, consider flipping it around, by taking on a different hot topic each week, then at last segment put the spotlight on "Three Banned Books About xyxz". That gives you another promotional hook.

Once you figure out what it is also do a video promo/intro. That will help in sooo many ways
