We're still working on getting back up and running so in the meantime, here's an old bonus episode.  This is our March 2022 discussion of Art Spiegelman's Maus, to go with our public episode from February 2022 about the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee removing the classic graphic novel about the Holocaust from the curriculum.  Sadly, this is relevant again because yet another school board - this time in Nixa, Missouri - has targeted the book.  It's not alone either.  Nor is Maus the only classic Holocaust text being targeted.  Ann Frank's diary is in the crosshairs of Mom's For Liberty.   Maus Our episode about Maus and the McMinn County School Board Auschwitz in Contemporary Popular Literature by Dr Wanda Witek-Malicka Of Mice and Memory by Joshua Brown Daniel's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/danielharper/posts Jack's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4196618&fan_landing=true Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to one full extra episode a month.
