Welcome back to another Harry Potter episode! In episode 29, Riddikulus Reread Part 1, we began our chat about our recent reread of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. There were a lot of questions raised, some events which had been entirely forgotten, and even a conspiracy theory thrown in for good luck. Make sure you head on back to have a listen!  Today we are continuing on with our reactions from our Harry Potter reread, and we dive straight back in where we left, with Halloween, trolls in the dungeons, and the Golden Trio finally coming together.

Snowy Stories: Let It Snow, the book and the movie

It’s beginning to look like Christmas! In this episode we get a little bit festive as we chat about Let It Snow, the YA short story compilation by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle.

Pour yourself a gingerbread latte, grab yourself some festive snacks and let’s get into it.
