  • Good, but they need to balance the conversations

    I appreciate that they side firmly with the trans community, I love Christina's perspective as a publisher, and I like that they don't stay family friendly. We're adults, we should be able to have adult perspectives. And I LOVE their headcanons.All that said, I wish they'd go on fewer side tangents. It was particularly frustrating when it happened while they were responding to someone's email. That was rude, and no, I'm not the person who wrote in. I felt bad for the person who did, though, bec... more

  • LOVE this podcast

    This is my comfort pod. I started listening last summer while going through my first and also a high risk pregnancy. It honestly brought me so much joy and a much needed break from everything that was going on. I now have a healthy 6 month old baby girl but still get excited every Wednesday for the new episode to come out!

  • This so bad.

    White adults on woke steroids picking apart a children’s book series. Their obsession with the sexuality of fictional teenagers is just gross. They’re unfunny and unintelligent. This is perfect example of what a garbage fandom this has become. And the authors name is JK Rowling.

  • The best!

    What started as a nostalgic indulgence quickly became my favorite podcast! It’s like having hilarious friends who are equally as nerdy about Harry Potter as I am. Separating art from the artist is difficult, and the hosts do an excellent job of preserving the content we all love while rejecting the toxicity of the author. 5/5 always!!
