Ban This Book! - June 14, 2024

This Is Going Well, I Think with David Cooper

• David's top stories for the day: a litter box-based 911 call, the FAA sues an unruly passenger, and a photographer loses an award;
• Alan Gratz, the author of 20 novels for young adults including Refugee, Heroes, and Ground Zero talks about the latest controversy around a Florida school board banning his book, aptly named Ban This Book;
• Associate professor of biology at University of Toronto, Rosalind Murray addresses David's worry about dengue fever and summer travel;
• Foreign correspondent Tony Five and a sleepy David go over conversation topics suitable for radio as generated by AI;
• UK-based film critic (and cat daddy) Luke Hearfield goes shares picks from the Cannes Film Festival that are potentially Oscar material; and finally
• Dan calls the show's producer Dani and then he rants about Wham's music video for Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.
