Ali Velshi: 本季《Velshi禁书俱乐部》关注美国各地日益增长的书籍禁令潮。这些禁令不仅是对审查制度的公然挑战，更威胁着美国的民主根基。通过与被禁书籍作者的对话，节目旨在探讨这些禁令背后的原因以及它们对社会的影响。他个人经历也深刻地反映了书籍禁令的危害，他的父母在离开南非后才第一次接触到公共图书馆，这凸显了政府如何利用书籍来控制信息和压制人民的思想。在南非种族隔离时期，黑人甚至使用不同的字典，其定义被刻意设计成符合劳工的需要，而不是激发他们的好奇心和追求更广阔人生的愿望。这表明，剥夺人们获取书籍的权利，就等于剥夺了他们追求知识、探索人生无限可能的权利。公共图书馆是知识自由的象征，是美国民主制度中不可或缺的一部分，我们有责任捍卫和推广这种模式。 Sam Sanders, Saeed Jones, Zach Stafford: 他们的播客《Vibe Check》关注新闻、文化和娱乐，以及这些内容背后的感受，内容涵盖从悲伤等现实问题到音乐和电影评论等各个方面。
