    Another fascinating and professionally produced episode…..and another book to add to my reading list. Many thanks.

    Have asked the library to get it. Of course most of their catalogue lists light fiction, local history and celebrity biography - a different kind of censorship - but they're willing to consider requests favourably... A while ago your channel led me to Richard Ovenden's Burning The Books, which was, luckily, easily obtainable in paperback. I look forward to reading this one. And to your thoughts on returning from your latest travels.

    Very good, but it becomes painful when these words, spoken in a sweet, soft way (whispering) describe a situation we are living in, with increasing censorship (since that strange virus, to the current moment, in a certain country in the Americas)...

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It should be indeed an important concern. We can not let this happen.

    This is a thought provoking topic, and your presentation of it is inspiring. As you mention, banning a book would put it in rarified company, including Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, from which Steely Dan drew their name. Growing up in a Catholic environment, the archdiocese in which I lived regularly published a list of "prohibited" movies, which was blithely ignored in my household. 😡

    if youre a conservative in America, and anyone ever accuses you of "banning books" in schools...simply ask them this question...which books?
    youll quickly see why some books should absolutely be banned depending on the types of people who have access to them. for example, a child shouldnt be reading books related to sex, transgender ideology, or anything else aimed at manipulating impressionable minds. this is not "knowledge", its indoctrination...
