Harry Potter and the Sacred Text

It’s the English class you didn't know you missed and the meaningful conversations you didn't know you craved. Join Vanessa Zoltan and Casper ter Kuile as they bring thought, reflection and laughter to Harry Potter; not just as novels, but as instructive and inspirational texts that will teach us about our own lives. Relive the magic chapter by chapter as they explore themes such as commitment, revenge and forgiveness. This podcast creates time in your week to think about life’s big questions. Because reading fiction doesn’t just help us escape the world, it helps us live in it.

Special Edition: Puffs + T-Shirt Contest Winner!

Vanessa and Ariana took a train down to New York to see the off-broadway play, Puffs. Here’s the show in their own words: “For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.”

Vanessa brings her full report back to Casper and they talk about some themes of the show: loyalty, historical context, Dumbledore’s agenda. As always, we don’t believe in spoilers, so if you’re planning to see the show, be warned! 

Also, we announce the winner of our T-Shirt contest! Thanks to our very talented designers and to everyone who voted.
