Hosted by Josy Catoggio
Joining Josy is Jean Kilbourne Ed.D co author with Diane Levin Ph.D of, So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood And What Parents Can Do To Protect Their Kids.
Levin and Kilbourne stress that there is nothing wrong with a young person’s natural sexual awakening, but it is wrong to allow a young person’s sexuality to be hijacked by corporations who want them as customers. The authors offer advice on how parents can limit children’s exposure to commercialized sex, and how parents can engage kids in constructive, age-appropriate conversation about sex and the media. One need only read the authors’ anecdotes to see why this book is relevant.
Later, Josy will have a conversation with Pearl North, author of Libyrinth. In her debut novel, Pearl North takes readers centuries into the future, to a forgotten colony of Earth where technology masquerades as magic and wars are fought over books. Haly one of teenage heroines of this tale hears the voices of the books in her mind-the books read themselves to her, using quotations from actual authors such as, Mary Daly, Anne frank, and Marge Piercy.
