Everyone should listen to this! I have told so many people about it already and encouraged them to listen to it. But even without listening to it, it’s stimulated great discussion and thought provoking ideas.
JK Rowling is brilliant!

Wonderful podcast….Ms. Rowling is the epitome of a strong woman
Painful but necessary

Nuance is so uncomfortable, but the themes of this show were so deeply resonant with me. It’s easy to ignore cancel culture until it breaks up your friend group, or you are suddenly put in a box on the other side from where you really stand because you weren’t quite loyal enough. I appreciate every person who’s ever welcomed my questions and curiosity with gentleness and empathy because they have allowed me to change my mind and grow more than anything. It’s encouraging to see so many people rating this show highly as that means there might be more of us living in the gray areas of uncertain curiosity than I previously believed.
Worthwhile listen
