Talking Books in Parliament

In the last episode, I took you into a ballroom for an award ceremony. Today, we have another fancy room for you.

I’m taking you with me into the Parliament of Canada for a short discussion about the state of writing and publishing in my country, and a specific problem that has plagued the work of authors in Canada for the last seven years now. Free copying of massive amounts of published work by schools, colleges and universities.

You can access this podcast on either Soundcloud, RadioPublic, Stitcher, the Apple podcasts app, or the Google Podcast app. You can find individual episodes through my own website at www.jkdegen.com/, and @bookroompod on Twitter.
