Awesome idea/concept
I love this newly found show. Reading easy to listen to and the commentary along the way is entertaining and funny. Great job! A must listen if you want to understand what’s in the books that are/have been banned. I don’t have time time to read these book or never did but now I am able to and learn first hand what’s in the book…so I can decide for myself if I think the ban is good or bad…most time bad.

Interesting Concept
This is a serial podcast if you want to follow along on the book. Otherwise, if you are only in it for the banter between the hosts, you can listen at any point. I assume the hosts never read the books before to keep their opinions and reactions genuine; however, since they did not, the reading is a bit robotic, which gives genuineness to the show. Otherwise, it is funny to hear their opinions. If you are looking for a straight story-reading podcast, move on and don’t complain.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
It’s fantastic. Like having a book club of you and the hosts to react and respond to banned works! What a great way to share these classics. I hope they continue for many more seasons as it will be fun to tune in!

Great Show
I’ll say this, it’s great for it’s audience. If you’re someone just stopping by for something with no plans of commitment, this isn’t for you. BUT for someone who is ready to join for one or more books that get reviewed, the show is great. The audio is amazing, the hosts have great chemistry, and the interjections aren’t too frequent that it ruins the book. Great show.

My latest podcast obsession.
I’m really enjoying having these wonderful books read aloud to me! In my old age, I can’t seem to keep my eyes open when I’m reading for myself. With this podcast, I’m following along to some of the greatest works of literature I’ve known AND I’m able to get some tasks done at the same time! Thank you so much for starting Banned Camp! I love it here and I can’t wait to work along side all of the stories you’ll read!

Very fun and different podcast
I love to see a new podcast with a new and completely different take. Jennifer Davis and Dan Shulz appear to be good friends who created this concept. They read classic books together and then try to understand why they were censored by either the Right or the Left. They start with the classic To Kill A Mockingbird which neither of them had read before. I love this book and have read it aloud with my daughter so it holds a special place in my heart. If you’ve read the book, you’ll find it fun to hear their take remembering your own reactions. Periodically they trash talk each other and laugh at their take on things. Take a listen!

Interesting Idea
This is a very unique podcast. They read chapter by chapter and take breaks to discuss the topics that get the book banned.
Each episode includes a chapter from the book. The reading is less narrated and more conversational. If you’re looking for a narrated book with no interruptions, this isn’t your podcast.
If you’re interested in following along, line by line, to a banned book AND listening to a discussion about why it is banned (in the opinions of the hosts) then THIS is your podcast!
Give it a try. These hosts are delightful.

Great Premise and Awesome Chemistry
I love the premise behind this podcast. Jennifer and Dan have great chemistry and play well off of each other. I like the commentary during the chapter readings because it illuminates what our culture thinks is important now versus what was “risqué” or controversial in the past. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Emily

Interesting concept
Love the idea of research why books were banned especially in the US. Found it hard to follow along with all the reading. I’ll follow and listen to some more. I’d like to hear more specifics of who banned it and why and was the ban ever lifted. The concept of banning the written word in the United States, is mine boggling. The purpose of the constitution was all about free speech so I love the concept of this podcast. I’m going to keep listening hopefully somewhere in there they’ll be the information I’m looking for keep up the good work.

Funny take on a serious topic!
Love how they bring humor to a topic that could be considered serious. The hosts are so funny and bring light to a subject that some might try to use to polarize people.

Interesting approach
I love this podcast and their boldness to dig into these books that have been banned. The humor helps to question why the book has landed in such a status. Very intrigued to journey with this team through these works.

What a fun concept with a great delivery. Jen and Dave bring a fun experience to a subject that makes us all very uncomfortable. Piece by piece we get to see insightful commentary on books that many have never read. Thanks for a fun experience, you got a new listener.

A very creative way to take on the highly charged topic of banning books! No better way to disarm those looking to ban books than to present the book in a fun and creative way! Well done!
