Dashka Slater Talks Accountable

COLBY: We do not do many episodes that feature creators of young adult novels. Maybe one or two a year, but after reading Dashka Slater’s Accountable, I had to have her on the show. This is one of the most important and timely books of the year. I hope that you’ll check out both the interview and the book.
