The Walkertown Report: Bookburning in America. Is the bible next?

The Walkertown Report by Dwayne Walker

Episode notes

A pastor in Tennessee held a bonfire for the purpose of burning Harry Potter books, stating that he was declaring war against demons. A school board also banned Maus, an award winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, from the school shelves. The reason? Nudity and language. The characters were mice! At the Harry Potter book burning, a gay man ran to the bonfire and threw in a bible.

Was he justified? In this podcast, I play an interview with Ben Akerley, the author of the X Rated bible. We also meet the publisher, Adam Parfrey of Feral House. This interview was taped in the late 90's when there was fear of Y2K, the idea that if computer clocks weren't set properly, chaos would rule! While I wish we had become more rational since the dawn of T2K, that hasn't been the case.
