    First before I get to the review- does Eric ever stop talking. Eric dominates the show with anger, cynicism and is often wrong. One can see society wearing Eric down, he’s always been a know it all who talks lot but now, just so angry. Our society has always sucked when you’re discriminated against; Eric is new to this while some have faced it their whole life. Please have Eric time away to reflect but he kills the show with his 1950’s schtick mixed with the know it all anger who cannot let othe... more

    Okay. LOVEE. Love these people. I’m a Britt and I would love to go to hogwarts!! I think the wizarding world is so cool! I wonder how the muggle-born hogwarts students contact there families and if relationships survive between muggles and wizards? Like how do you explain to your partner that you’re going to a boarding school that isn’t in any databases and doesn’t have wifi in the 21ST CENTURY PEOPLE!

    Byee-Xx

    PS. Love the Pod but haven’t listened in like 20 weeks…

  • Thank you for your voice on this issue!

    I applaud the effort to voice concerns about The Author That Shall Not Be Named and her campaign against trans rights. I didn’t know how far she had progressed in her agenda.

    It once again reinforces that you can appreciate the Harry Potter fandom and not the author. Thank you very much!
