We're in the penultimate chapter!

| 02 Nov 2020 | 2.2 Dobby's Warning | 00:40:56 | |
This week, we find out just WHO is on Harry's bed while the dinner party goes on downstairs! It's Dobby, the house elf! That's right, we crash straight into the topic of Jo working slavery into the series, how does the Ministry of Miss Magic know that underage wizards have performed magic at home, and finish with a brief discussion on the insanity of putting bars on a window (SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING). Slavery in the United States didn't simply end in 1965 with the Emancipation Proclamation. Unfortunately, thousands of people are trafficked each year in the United States, either sexually or into forced labor. The Polaris Project seeks to gather research on cases of trafficking in the United States and push institutions to end the practice through legislation or other means. We have donated this week in honor of the thousands here and millions around the globe who are forced into servitude for which they have no where to turn. We urge you to learn more information at polarisproject.org. Thank you to Ope...Matt for their review on Apple Podcasts! Rate! Review! Subscribe!

| 26 Oct 2020 | 2.1 The Worst Birthday | 00:31:03 | |
Welcome to Season 2, chappies! It’s the first chapter of Chamber of Secrets, but it’s no secret that this chapter is… not good. We give you a quick episode about how annoying it is when we have to reread a synopsis of things that happened in the first book, whether Jo took inspiration from Roald Dahl for Dudley, and Michael gives a very British response to the question on everyone’s lips - what time is dinner?!?! This week we are asking our listeners to educate themselves on the ongoing situation in Nigeria as protestors take to the streets to #EndSARS. Find out more information here: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/10/10118161/end-sars-nigeria-police-violence-protests-meaning.

| 25 May 2021 | 3.8 Flight of the Fat Lady | 00:58:38 | |
This week, Allie, Adam, and Arri all talk about Chapter 8, Flight of the Fat Lady. Inside this episode you’ll find: the longest conversation about Quidditch we will ever have (we promise), an admonishing of Hermione’s reaction to a classmates pet passing away, and Harry whining about being alone while his friends lives exist outside his own. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict has escalated again, and although there is now a ceasefire, there have been over 240 Palestinian deaths to 12 Israeli deaths. This is not a proportional response. We have chosen the American Friends for their work in the region and the United States since 1948. Please check out afsc.org for more details. Rate! Review! Subscribe! | |||
| 10 Jan 2022 | 4.1 The Riddle House | 00:46:28 | |
Let's take a dive into the fourth book in the series, shall we? This week, we talk about Chapter 1, The Riddle House. We discuss its uniqueness among all the chapters in the series, finally get the tea on Miss Bertha Jorkins, and how exactly to milk a snake. This week, we've made a donation to Indigenous Rising, An Indigenous Environmental Network Project. The mission of Indigenous Rising is to build solidarity from the Global South to the North to fulfill their sacred duties, listening to the teachings of their elders and the voices of our youth and women, to act wisely to carry out their responsibilities to enhance the health and respect the sacredness of Mother Earth, and to demand climate justice now.

We're back again learning about the Durselys and this time they're on a diet! Feast (but not too much) on some grapefruit as we discuss diet culture, fatphobia, and scenes that we wish hadn't been cut from the movie. This week we are recommending everyone check out Alisa Vitti, author of Woman Code and In The Flo. Arri started reading In The Flo recently and had her mind blown in the first chapter. Did you know most research in health and fitness is done on men and not appropriate for women? Up until 1993, the FDA had a policy that banned most women from participating in ANY medical studies. Well, Alissa Vitti is having none of it! Using her John Hopkins education and her work with thousands of patients and clients over the past 20 years she's hoping her books and wealth of knowledge will help women all over the world. You can find her on Instagram @alisa.vitti. Rate! Review! Subscribe! We are a proud member of the The Ampliverse | |||

On August 23, 2020, Jacob S. Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was shot and seriously injured by a police officer in Kenosha, WI. On August 25, Blake’s father announced that his son was paralyzed from the waist down as well as suffered a gunshot wound to one arm, damage to his stomach, kidney, and liver.

This week Allie, Adam, and Arri all talk about Chapter 8, The Deathday Party. Inside this episode, you'll find every single question you've ever considered about ghosts in the wizarding world. That's pretty much it, honestly. Just a lot of queries about how ghosts work, how ghost horses work, how ghost post works, and at what precise moment did Nearly Headless Nick die? This book is slowly driving us insane. Just like Ginny.

This week, we're going to detention (which won't be the last in this series). We're headed straight into the place Dumbledore reminded us at the beginning was out of bounds - the Forbidden Forest. We'll discuss just where Hogwarts staff sleep (maybe Pince and Pomfrey are roomies), the statistical probability of there being a werewolf threat (spoiler: not very likely), and get deep in the weeds about who exactly is sucking the blood of the unicorn. Plus, we've got a fun game to play: f**k, marry, kill with the three centaurs from this chapter - Ronan, Bane, and Firenze (and the answers may surprise you). Adam this week wants to focus on the United States Postal Service as his call to action. It's a government agency that is authorized in the Constitution, with ties all the way back to 1775 with Benjamin Franklin as Postmaster General. They need our help more than ever, so be sure to contact your federal representatives and go to usps.com and buy a book of stamps. Rate! Review! Subscribe!

This week, Allie, Adam, and Arri all talk about Chapter 11, The Firebolt. Inside this episode you’ll find: a debate about whether the adults did the right thing by withholding this information from Harry, sassy Minerva with stubborn Sybil, and the real reason why Remus Lupin wasn’t in attendance at James and Lily’s wedding. Check out this awesome video essay called Rabbits, Railways, and Racism: Roger Rabbit and the Fall of L.A. Public Transit. It's an interesting pop culture-lens way of looking at a huge problem in the LA area and how it actually does tie in to structural and systemic racism throughout the cities history, and also being yet a reminder that capitalism without limit helps no one in the end.

Save the Children is a global organization committed to helping the poorest children around the world, reaching 197 million kids in 2020 alone. I also urge you to reach out to your representatives in Washington and urge them to fight for the inclusion of the child tax credit to be a lasting part of the American legacy so that we are able to help millions of kids, especially those in rural, black and brown communities.
