HDR Ep 1, Book 1 Premiere: Not Like the Other Muggles

In the inaugural episode of the pod, Reba and Matt do some housekeeping on the cultural context of Harry Potter - then get down to talking about chapters 1-4 of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. Topics include Roald Dahl, the 1980s and Dudley's Halo addiction.

(Reba apologizes for her audio being garbage - it does get better in subsequent eps!)

PSA: JK Rowling's advocacy for trans-exclusionary feminism is heinous, active bigotry that is doing real harm to the cause of trans rights in her country and the world. Trans rights are human rights. Trans liberation now.
