The Laura Flanders Show Reading List
🕑 Added 2019-04-24 19:00:02 +0000 UTCNEW! We have begun compiling a list of supplementary reading for our episodes. It is made up of some of the research we do in preparation of production, material by our guests on the show, and additional publications we think provide interesting insight into our show.
From now on, we will be adding the reading list weekly, on Wednesdays. Think of it as a working bibliography, a syllabus, a source for further study and inspiration!
