A Very Special Episode — The McAvoy Twins and the Hunt for the Bad News Bears
Saturday Apr 20, 2019
Saturday Apr 20, 2019
Hello, and welcome back to this Harry Potter Podcast that can't get its life together! We're back after another long absence, and this time we're bringing you something different. Lauren, Dayle and Cherie all sat down at Lauren's house and recorded in the same room for the first time ever. That being the case, we decided to try something new: a HP-themed tabletop RPG! Listen as we stumble through what is essentially fanfic being created in real time! Listen also as both the Game Master and the Players refuse to do character voices! Listen as we bend canon to suit our own needs! We had a great time — this doesn't necessarily generate a good podcast, but we hope you'll come along with us and enjoy our adventure. It's really the least you can do.

Episode 22 — Vape Credit

Hello friends, and welcome back to this podcast that really tries to be about Harry Potter — I promise, folks, we really try. Listen as we start with what we consider to be a very solid premise — JK Rowling and authorial intent — and devolve very swiftly into talking about jeans, pajama jeans, other types of pants and vaping. After our absence, we were getting used to the whole "oh yeah, this is a podcast" thing, and so the episode is much shorter than usual. We'll get the hang of it again soon, I'm sure. Or we won't, I'm not a fortune teller.

Episode 21 — Travis

Hello, and welcome to the very late 21st episode of this supposedly Harry Potter podcast! Forces of nature have kept one of us down — but not out — and our dear Dayle returns to us after the destruction wrought by Hurricane Michael in October. Now that she is safe and sound, we return to our regularly scheduled pattern of talking like no one is listening. Which is to say: come with us as we discuss the recently released “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and get lost deep in the weeds trying to reconstruct when and who and where and why everything ever was in the Harry Potter universe. Also, Cherie thinks one of the characters’ names is Travis, and we riff on that for way too long. Reunited, and it feels so good!

Episode 20 — I Care For People

Thursday Oct 04, 2018
Hello, and welcome to the "best" Harry Potter podcast with the worst audio! We've got a little bit of everything for you in this one — except for Dayle, who was out sick. (#wandsoutfordayle) It's just Cherie and Lauren this time, talking about The Hogwarts Express and general boarding school transportation, lamenting "The Cursed Child" (again) and eventually devolving into punch-crunk conversation about Season 3 of "The Surreal Life" and our love for Brigitte Nielsen. It's what all the hep cats are talkin' about in 2018!

Hello, friends and lovers! Welcome to this very, very late episode. Join us as we try to answer listener questions, and get sidetracked by snakes and soccer! Also, Lauren's daughter Lucy interrupts several times until we decide to invite her to talk to us, at which point she clams up faster than that frog from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. Kids! They love to troll! Thanks to listener Katie for bearing with us and for being kind about our ignorant assumptions about the British. It's the American Way!
