Joanne makes no secret of her hate for the trans community and she actively puts her vast fortune toward promoting their extermination. I consider the HP radio play ep to be little more than an overpriced commercial for her garbage and you’ve outlived your time in my pod catcher.
Rowling is a bigot and a tyrant and I have no interest in hearing about anything remotely tangential to her.
My students really enjoyed listening to a Bluey episode during our walking class. It gave them a new appreciation for sound and brought joy into our day. Sound is such an amazing part of creation and learning from the people that work with it for a living is a lot of fun.
There are few podcasts that I genuinely look forward to every week, but Twenty Thousand Hz is one of those shows. I’ve recommended it to several friends who don’t know anything about sound and it’s always well received. Keep them coming. Thank you
Really sad to see one my favourite podcasts feature HP when the creator funds transphobia internationally AND has been linked to one of the most prolific sexual abusers/exploiters of our time.
