Woke nonsense, and amazing rational and critical analysis. I'm amazed at the work that they put in and this is one of the podcasts I will click on to download as soon as it posts.

A wonderful critique of Harry Potter as they reread the series. Both hosts and frequent guest Neil are delightful, their laughs are contagious. I love a podcast of women having fun.
