In each episode, a different author joins Ali to discuss why their work is being targeted and what is so crucial about the literature itself. “Velshi Banned Book Club” is a series rooted in literary and cultural analysis, in the notion that reading is resistance.

Thanks for this podcast!

Today I listened to your podcast with my heart constricted, not only for the heartfelt stories that led the authors to write those books, but also for the frightening times we are witnessing in this timeline and the terror of imagining the future of our kids without these books...
A very one-sided demonization of books
29 sept
A very one-sided demonization of books. The authors, limited, worldview and pretentious belief he is educated beyond the average listener makes this podcast, boring and more dystopian than any book he talks about. If you’re looking for a one-sided podcast with limited self-examination, and the same old, we need more control over humanity. This is probably what you’re looking for enjoy.
New Favorite

This is my new favorite podcast. I am rereading 1984, and will read The Giver next. I hope people will learn to develop their critical thinking from reading these kinds of books and seeing how these concepts are relative to our country today. Please keep the episodes coming—we need them now more than ever.
Fantastic books are discussed

Really love this podcast- so refreshing to see an Anchor from MSNBC tackle something more than Trump bashing!
