Episode 292: CHOP SUEY: Pandemic anniversary, soft censorship, and mission statement follow-up!

Grace and Alvina have an odds and ends episode where they discuss several topics. At the five-year anniversary of the global pandemic, they look back on how their lives have changed for the better or the worst; they discuss soft censorship, especially in relation to the Young Media Award winners. They continue to brainstorm their mission statement using adjectives some of their listeners used to describe the podcast. And then Alison Morris joins to share some book recommendations, and they end with sharing what they're grateful for.  See complete show notes at www.bookfriendsforever.com.
