Banned Together
Welcome to Banned Together, the podcast that fearlessly ventures into the world of banned and censored literature. Books inspire conversation, let's see what comes up. We cover book details, social structures, human rights, racism, gossip, and any other thought provoking subjects that this literature inspires. Readers are leaders, and our mission is to not only be inspired, but evoke inspiration in others. We are a book club just a click away. Not only banned books, but the socially impactful books as well. Join us as we unravel the gripping stories, controversial ideas, and powerful voices that have challenged authority, sparked revolutions, and left an indelible mark on the fabric of society. Hosted by Jeanna and Adriana.
