概要

If you think banning books is stupid, so do we.Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place.If you’re new here, don’t sweat it. You can start anywhere. We’ll get you oriented fast (and if you get confused, there’s a good chance we’re confused too).Here’s what makes us different: we actually read the book out loud, every chapter, cover to cover, and we’ve never read it before. So you hear us stumble through the text, mispronounce names, miss obvious foreshadowing, and slowly piece together what freaks Moms for Liberty and the pudding-fingered politicians out.Our listeners are called The Scary Book People. You’ll fit right in.Past seasons: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Slaught...© 2026 Banned Camp: Banned Books, Comedy, and Free Speech vs. Censorship

  • The Catcher in the Rye Ch. 24.1: Holden Flunks the Art of Staying on Topic | Banned Books Podcast
    2026/05/07
    Holden shows up at Mr. Antolini's swanky apartment in the middle of the night to find his old teacher in a bathrobe with a highball, his wife heading to bed, and a living room that looks like Don Draper decorated it. What starts as cocktails and small talk turns into Holden's passionate defense of a kid named Richard Kinsella who got an F for being too interesting, and ends with Antolini warning him he's heading for "a terrible, terrible fall." Then Holden accidentally says the most honest thing he's said in 24 chapters. Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books chapter by chapter — we don't read ahead, so you're discovering the story with us. Things To Listen For: Dan's dream of never being more than three feet from a bowl of peanuts, and Jennifer's kids destroying that dream in real timeDan's growing paranoia about how this book is going to end, fueled entirely by 1984 traumaJennifer's observation that forcing someone to stay on topic is like forcing a kid to dance a certain wayDan catching Holden admitting he cut classes in the same sentence he says he didn't cut classes Why was The Catcher in the Rye banned? This chapter's most dangerous idea isn't the drinking or the late-night teacher visit. It's Holden arguing that the most interesting person in the room is the one who can't stay on topic — and that the system punishes him for it. When a book teaches teenagers that "unify and simplify" might be bad advice, people with power over curricula tend to get nervous. If this is your first episode, you're fine starting here. Our fact-checking Robot catches you up fast, then we read the next chapter (spoilers). Banworthy to Bingeworthy Why Is This Happening? The AI Endgame — Chris Hayes digs into artificial intelligence with leading experts in this special miniseries from MS Now. If you want to understand what AI actually is, what it isn't, and where it's all headed, this is the smart conversation you've been looking for. Start listening wherever you get your podcasts.Love Doesn't Pay the Bills — Beowulf's wife Lisa hosts this podcast for caregivers — the parents, spouses, and family members supporting people with disabilities who rarely get the support they need themselves. Caregivers are wildly undervalued, and this show fights to change that. Find it at lovedoesntpaythebills.com or wherever you listen.Good News for Lefties — Beowulf's own show, broadcasting from his socialist safe house deep in the Oregon woods. Because you can't ban the truth, baby. Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts to help other scary book people find us!

The Catcher in the Rye has been one of the most frequently challenged books in America since its publication in 1951, and was the most censored book in the U.S. from 1961 to 1982. It's been removed from schools and libraries for profanity, sexual references, and "anti-social behavior" — but the deeper reason is that Holden Caulfield gives teenagers permission to question authority, reject conformity, and say out loud that the system feels broken. That's the part that actually scares book banners. Is there a podcast that reads The Catcher in the Rye chapter by chapter? That's us. Banned Camp reads a different banned book every season, one chapter at a time — neither host has read ahead, so you're discovering the story together in real time. Season 10 covers The Catcher in the Rye, and every episode includes the chapter reading, discussion, a fact-checking Robot, and a segment on why books get banned. Do I need to start Banned Camp from the beginning? No. Every episode opens with Robot's recap of the previous chapter, so you can jump in anywhere. Most listeners tell us they started mid-season and went back to the beginning after they were hooked. Topics Covered: The Catcher in the Rye, J.D.

  • The Catcher in the Rye Ch. 23: The Safest Place He’s Ever Been | Banned Books
    2026/05/05
    Holden dances with Phoebe in the dark with the radio turned low — maybe the only moment in the entire book where he's truly happy. Then the parents come home and everything shifts to scripted pleasantries. Then Phoebe gives Holden her Christmas money, he cries, he gives her his red hunting hat, and he walks out into December heading for Mr. Antolini's apartment. Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books chapter by chapter — we don't read ahead, so you're discovering the story with us. Things To Listen For: Jennifer's observation about "natural and authentic" vs. being forced into a form — Holden and Phoebe horsing around versus a dad yanking his kid onto a dance floorDan realizing this might be the first time Holden has been truly happy in the entire bookJennifer calling the parents' arrival a "polluting influence" on Phoebe and Holden's funThe contrast between dancing in the dark and the mom's scripted "Marvelous. Did you say your prayers? Give your mother a kiss."Why Holden cries when his 10-year-old sister hands him $8.85 in Christmas moneyRobot's explanation of what the red hunting hat actually means — and why it matters that Holden just gave it awayDan's frustration: "It is just so Holden to wanna leave. You made it home." Why was The Catcher in the Rye banned? This chapter has two versions of family in it — one dances in the dark and the other performs from a script. The people who ban this book need kids to believe the script is how it works. Salinger showed them the difference. If this is your first episode, you're fine starting here. Our fact-checking Robot catches you up fast, then we read the next chapter (spoilers).

  • The Catcher in the Rye Ch. 22: James Castle, the Sweater, and the Cliff | Banned Books Podcast
    2026/04/30
    Phoebe asks Holden to name one thing he likes about anything in the world. He can't do it. His mind drifts to a boy named James Castle who was brutalized at Elkton Hills, refused to take back what he said, and jumped out a window — wearing Holden's turtleneck sweater. Then Holden finally answers, and what he says changes everything you thought this book was about. Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books chapter by chapter — we don't read ahead, so you're discovering the story with us. Things To Listen For: Phoebe can't be snowedJennifer's reaction when she realizes what "too repulsive" might actually mean — and her theory about why nobody ever talks about itThe moment the title of the book finally makes sensePhoebe's belching lessons and why Salinger put comedy at the end of the darkest chapter in the book Why was The Catcher in the Rye banned? This chapter features a teenager whose only ambition is to stand at the edge of a cliff and catch children before they fall. Book banners claim they're protecting kids — this chapter shows a kid who wants to do the same thing, and they banned him for it. If this is your first episode, you're fine starting here. Our fact-checking Robot catches you up fast, then we read the next chapter (spoilers).
