* Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books and find out why they were banned in the first place. In each episode, we read a  chapter of a banned book and offer our take on why it was banned in the first place. So grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we explore why some folks seem to be in such a rush to take us back to the dark ages, one banned book at a time.
