In this episode of 'No Deep Dives,' Flex discusses her return to giving book recommendations despite previous reservations, sparked by a desire to encourage reading both fiction and non-fiction. She reviews 'Fall of Wrath and Ruin' by Jennifer Armentrout, sharing her mixed feelings about the book's pacing and character dynamics while recommending Kindle Unlimited for book lovers.



Flex then discusses 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' by Paolo Freire, reflecting on traditional education's limitations and the potential for oppressed groups to envision change.



The podcast also touches on the concept of nepotism and privilege, using musician Fred again as a case study to explore how privilege can impact one's ability to pursue dreams. Flex hints at starting a book club focusing on banned books and invites listeners to join their community for further discussions.
