Uncover the stories they tried to silence. Each week, Banned Before Breakfast dives into the world of forbidden literature—exploring the books that were banned, challenged, or burned, and the cultural firestorms that followed.

Hosted by AP, this podcast delivers bite-sized, thought-provoking episodes with equal parts wit, warmth, and literary rebellion. Whether you're a curious reader, a freedom-of-speech advocate, or just here for the tea behind the titles, you’ll leave each episode with something to think about—and a few more books to add to your “read anyway” list.

    Episode 3: "The Hate U Give" — Why the Truth Terrifies Them
    2025/06/30

    In this episode of Banned Before Breakfast, host AP explores the incendiary power of Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give — a YA novel that didn’t just spark controversy, it sparked a movement. Banned across schools and libraries for its unflinching critique of police violence and systemic racism, The Hate U Give gives voice to a generation silenced by fear and institutional denial.

    We break down what censors misunderstood, what the novel actually teaches about justice, protest, and identity, and why literature that speaks hard truths — especially from Black voices — continues to be buried. This episode reframes Starr Carter’s story as more than fiction. It’s a mirror, a megaphone, and a masterclass in resistance.

    Because in a world that bans books for telling the truth, reading becomes a revolutionary act.
