In the fourth episode of The Staffroom Podcast Summer Series, Chey and Pav talk to Ardo Omer, who is the Kids Coordinator at the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD). She’s also a writer, and co-host of the podcast “Put a Blurb on It,” as well as advisor to the Canadian Comics Open Library, here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With Ardo, Chey and Pav talk about some of the impacts that comics have on youth in literacy, as well as the writing and publishing scene for authors today, especially in the realm of comic books. 
A phenomenal conversation to get us thinking more about literary diversity and the importance of differentiated reading materials in our classrooms!
