In this gentle ASMR video, I softly explore the American Library Association’s list of the top 10 most challenged books of 2024. We’ll take a quiet look at the titles, the reasons behind the challenges, and reflect on the role of books in sparking dialogue and thought. Perfect for winding down while staying informed. No whispers—just soft, relaxing speech and page sounds. “To be on the side of people who are struggling for something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being political.” I heard Bob Dylan say this in the doc No Direction Home and thought that was pretty cool and related to some of the comments below.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
