Previous Episode: Interview with Author Stephanie Cooke!
Next Episode: The Inheritance Cycle: Inheritance
We're joined again by middle grade author Stephanie Cooke to talk about her favorite childhood book: The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. In this spicy episode: Is it ok to include sexism, classism, and racism in fantasy books as worldbuilding, rather than theme or subject? What's the difference between critiquing organized religion versus spirituality itself? This is a deep one, folks. Not for the faint of heart!
Stephanie Cooke is the author of the Oh My Gods! series and other books, which you can check out here.
