As an extra for you this week, we are delighted to share the first episode of Borrowed and Banned, a new podcast made by our friends at the Brooklyn Public Library. This 7-episode limited series, hosted by Virginia Marshall and Adwoa Adusei, tells the story of America's ideological war with its bookshelves by talking with students on the frontlines, the librarians and teachers whose livelihoods are endangered when they speak up, and the writers whose books have become a political battleground.
