CYC Podcast

Author and

illustrator Kevin Pyle talks about his book (co-authored with Scott Cunningham)

Bad For You: Exposing The War On Fun! A very brief introduction explains the

book. “This is the history of stuff that is supposed to be bad for you. To find

out why most of it isn’t, keep reading.” During this interview Kevin discusses

the long history of trying to stop young people from doing things they enjoy. Dangerous

things like reading, playing, and thinking, among others. To learn more about

Kevin Pyle and the book go to BadForYouBook.com/.

This

interview with Heather Sago and Aurrora De Monte explores being an advocate

for, being an advocate against, and being an advocate with. What is the role of

adults in advocating? How does one advocate when to do so puts one’s own career

at risk? What are the consequences of not advocating? How does one advocate?

Heather and Aurrora are the founders of the CYC Advocacy Project and both teach in the Child and Youth Work program

at sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario.
