Welcome to Liberating Lit, a podcast about the advocates doing the work of promoting literature. In an era of ever-increasing book bans, talking with those doing the work on the ground matters. This podcast aims to learn what inspires these advocates and what keeps them going, with the goal of helping inspire new advocates and refill the cups of those who've been looking to rekindle their spirits.
This is episode zero, where you'll get to hear a little bit about my own journey with censorship and advocacy.
More information about the show, as well as full transcripts of each episode, are available at liberatinglit.com.
