  • Amazing insight

    Absolutely LOVE(!) to listen to these two. I have finally found a community of people who care about the lake and shed as much as I do!

    Nick’s incredible lake insights, together with John’s detail-oriented research of shed, is an incredible listening experience. I am always surprised at how much goes over my head when reading Rowling, but listening to these two helps me learn more.

    My only critique: I wish there were more episodes! ;)

This podcast is in-depth and goe... more

  • Pure Fun

    I never knew Rowling could be so much fun before listening to John and Nick. It’s like a satisfying detective novel, but about literature and happening in real time.
