Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect blend of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.

A book, a film, a tv show, a comic, a radio show, anything. Maybe we find out something about how comedy works, or we just giggle until we're finished. Both approaches are valid.

Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place. Join us as we explore the controversial themes within these forbidden tales through humorous discussions and satirical analysis. Uncover the reasons behind book censorship and the mysteries of literary censorship as we read banned and challenged books aloud.
Each season, we read a banned book in its entirety, out loud, with each episode of the season being a chapter from the book, followed by a discussion of what we found, if anything, in that chapter that could have been deemed ban-worthy.
Past seasons have included "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, and "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. The current season, we are reading the classic Mark Twain novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”.
By reading books like these, we can find answers to important questions like:
Why are banned books important?
What does "banned books" mean?
What does "challenged" books mean?
How does banning books affect students?
What is the most banned book?
How do book bans work?
Should book banning be allowed?
Are book bans constitutional?
Which books are banned in the US?
What is the most challenged book of all time?

Book Podcasts

A great way to understand and find a new opinion or persepective on the book you are reading is by listening to book podcasts! We all know that reading is a solitary activity, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, many of us love nothing more than talking about our favorite books with fellow book lovers. That's why book podcasts have become so popular.

With so many book podcasts out there, it can be hard to find one that really stands out. The truth is, the books podcasts genre is in need of some serious innovation. Author interviews can be inspiring, but let's face it, they often turn into the same old conversations about the writing process and book promotion. And too many shows feature the same guests promoting the same books.
