S5 E6 Revolutionary: Hansen and Jensen ‘The Little Red Schoolbook’ (1969)

A guide to school life that was so radical the Pope declared it sacrilegious. For once, the Irish were not the only ones over-reacting to this tiny little book. It was 2014 before a full, uncensored version was published in Britain.

S3 E9 Compulsive wanking: Roth ‘Portnoy’s Complaint’ (1969)

Why did the Irish censors ignore this spectacularly rude book? And why is a novel about a sex-obsessed Jewish man so important in the history of censorship in Australia?
