The bestselling author and podcaster Don Martin joins Pete and Greg in this first hour to talk about the recent national book ban proposed in the bill H.R.7661. Listen to Don’s thoughts on why this bill is harmful to all children – and deprives much-needed language and education. Don also discusses his books Verity Vox and Where Did Everybody Go? Later, Don walks Greg and Pete through how fans should handle the Harry Potter series after J.K. Rowling’s many transphobic public actions, and how readers and viewers should feel about the nature of fandom.
