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! ;)
Hello!! I am here because a few years ago I read How Harry Cast His Spell, and wanted more! To my dismay, the podcast started out with all these references to Rowlings other works, so I had to go read those! Being a Christian, I can’t recommend reading any of the others except the Ickabog and The Christmas Pig, due to their graphic and sometimes sexual content and language, though I did benefit in my understanding and enjoyment from these works in different ways. This podcast is in-depth and goe... more
Longtime Potterhead and reader of JK; the layers of analysis and context provided is awesome! All delivered in entertaining dialogue. Found myself relistening
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.
Absolutely LOVE(!) to listen to these two! Nick’s incredible insight, together with John’s detail-oriented research and opinions, is an incredible experience. My only critique, I wish there were more episodes! :)
