Today's Episode:

You may have recently heard that Penguin Random House released new, editted versions of Roald Dahl's old classic childrens books, to keep them up to date with current norms around discussions of: weight, gender, race and mental health. Those are some weighty (no pun intended) topics of identity politics of recent years, but have they got this right? Come with us and examine some of these edits to determine where you sit on this decision, that has found critics from across the ideological spectrum.

Particularly, we start by examining the severity of these changes, and ultimately 3 key strands we touch on are: the distinction between the removal of something versus the insertion or promotion of new ideas that weren't previously present, the special case of children's books versus general censorship and finally dicussing censorship, free-speech and the 'marketplace for ideas' more generally.
