book burning

Is it about books or TV or censorship or ridiculous ideas? Mario Bernardi and Jimmy go back in time to talk about the movie based on a book they had to read in high school. While they don't reveal how they did when tested on it you get a pretty good idea based on their discussion. Surprisingly insightful.

Join Professor Jason Aukerman, Director of the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies, to learn about Bradbury's life and work, the creation of the center, and surprising discoveries in the archives. We discuss Fahrenheit 451 in which Bradbury cautioned us about the danger of mass media and censorship, topics even more relevant today. Jason discusses his approach to teaching writing and Bradbury's literary strengths, as well as the role of an archivist in protecting and evaluating a lifetime of work. We conclude with a bio of Bradbury and a reminder about the McCarthy era. A great episode for writers and readers.

# 012 – The written word is one of the most powerful ways we can exercise our First Amendment rights. However, authors are increasingly having their books erased from some of the largest stores in America. Ryan T. Anderson is the latest author to fall prey to the modern day book burning movement. And it is a movement that is gaining acceptance at an alarming rate.
