Is your curiosity piqued when someone tells you you shouldn't or can't read a book? Mine is - I always want to know what it is that they don't want me to know. If you're curious what the fuss is all about, join me on Scandalous Books. We'll look at the history of censorship, what the censors hope to gain (or protect) by keeping certain books under wraps, and more.

Content Details
To help you make choices that work for you, I'll put 'content details' in the descriptions for each episode - these are like content warnings or trigger warnings.

This episode is about a comedic tale, so there's nothing too harrowing involved, but it does include frank discussions of the following:

  • sex - this is the main reason given for banning the story
  • body parts and functions - including vaginas, anuses, and farting
  • adultery
  • practical jokes with a sexual element
  • religion
