  • What a concept!

    I love the sorting episodes! Just discovered this and being a big Star Wars fan, I immediately searched for those types of episodes. The concept of sorting Star Wars characters into Hogwarts houses is amazing and so clever! Very fun to listen to those discussions!

  • Songbirds & Snakes discussion

    I just found this podcast and listened to the first 2 installments of the S&S miniseries. I am excited to hear what the hosts have to say as they discuss further into the book. I haven’t listened to any of the “regular” episodes yet but I’m gonna head there now and listen to their other Hunger Games discussions.
