Latest Episodes:

Bestial Behaviour: Endore, 'The Werewolf of Paris' (1933) Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

Endore combined violence and blasphemy in this classic of the werewolf genre. It’s hard to know whether the radical politics or freaky sex most offended the censor.

Love, not sex: Wallace, 'The Chapman Report' (1961) Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

America was horrified when the Kinsey report proved that women were sexually transgressive. Wallace’s book trashed Kinsey but it still too sexy for the Irish censor.

Lesbionic Lit: Highsmith, 'Carol' (1952) Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Is it a subversive lesbian romance or a psychological thriller? The hetronormative censor saw a dangerous text with a 'general tendency to deprave'.

Evil Contraception: Stopes, 'Married Love' (1918) Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

Marie Stopes' sex manual was banned for 50 years. Her promotion of contraception was radical in 1918 but it remained too controversial for the Irish state until 1980.

Freaky Foreigners: Murdoch, 'The Flight from the Enchanter' (1956) Jun 04, 2020

Why is so hard to find sex in a book saturated with sexual tension? Trigger-happy censors overestimated the filth in this rich and inventive novel.
