That's why you hear that same old thing.

Welcome to the Project Censored radio show on Pacifica Radio.

I am your co-host, Eleanor Goldfield.

In this segment of the radio show, my co-host, Mickey Huff, sits down with Kasey Meehan, the director of the Freedom to Read at PEN America, to discuss her most recent co-authored report, A Spotlight on School Book Bans, published just in time for Banned Books Week that was just October 4th through October 8th.

So be sure to tune in to my other segment from this week's program where I sit down with writer and journalist Madeline Peltz to talk about the trad wives phenomenon.

And right now, over to Mickey and Casey.

First up this week, journalist Stephanie Koithan comes back on the program to give updates from the Lone Star State, and how what's going on in Texas should be viewed as a canary in the coal mine for where the nation as a whole is headed.

Next up, Mosaab Baba joins the sh- program again to give updates on Sudan one year out from the RSF attacks on El Fasher.

Mosab outlines the compounding oppressions and violences facing the Sudanese people, and how the war on Iran has changed regional politics.

That's all coming up this week on Project Censored

... think about times, state-side, think about crimes perpetrated by the criminal minds with political ties, official lies, alibis, disguise.

But the way I'm connected to the Disinfo Detox YouTube, I can't do that.

So once we're at our permanent home on Project Censored, I will be able to get the chats on the screen, presumably, uh, hopefully.

I really hope so.

Uh, so anyway.

Stephanie talks about how ICE is adapting to a dissenting climate, and how Big Tech is finding nefarious loopholes around data center moratoriums.

She also highlights the importance of local independent media in facilitating political agency and engagement.

Thinkable crimes perpetrated by criminal minds with political ties.

Hey there, Parallax News listeners.

On this edition of the program, we welcome to the show Alison Butler, author of a new book available from Project Censored, our friends, entitled The Judgment of Gender, How Women Are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture.

And I think This is a timely release given what we've seen with the Cornell seven case and more lately, the way women are being framed and treated in our society, how the right wing thinks about women, the phenomena of figures like Andrew Tate influencing young boys.

I think you'll find this conversation engaging for that reason and A note that I was using a different microphone for this interview.

And with that being said, let's get to it with Alison Butler on her book, The Judgment of Gender.

Welcome to Parallax Views, a guest that I'm very happy to have on the show.

She works with Project Censored and has a new book out.

From the fine folks at Project Censored, the Censored Press, I'm talking with Allison T. Butler, author of The Judgment of Gender, How Women Are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture.

We're, uh, we're still figuring this out.

And, and by the way, we are still not at our permanent home yet over at Project Censored.

Uh, but we are gonna get there soon.

Guys, we started out without a name, without, uh- [laughs]
