This month, we’re reaching back into the vault, and bringing you a rerun of the third episode of Shout’s fourth season. In this rerun episode, Julia Guy, Joel Blechinger, Belinda Ongaro, Dan Hackborn, and Timothy Arthur from the season 4 Shout team sit down as a panel to discuss the invitation of trans-exclusionary radical feminist Meghan Murphy to speak at an event taking place in the Toronto Public Library in 2019 and what intellectual freedom looks like in the context of libraries in Canada. The original episode also features commentary from guest speakers Matthew Stepanic, Parker Leflar, and Colette Poitras.
