Favorite new podcast!

I look forward to this every (other) day, it’s the perfect length to listen to before going to bed for me. And the hosts are all entertaining and professional, the whole thing is super well produced, it’s honestly in my top 3 podcasts at the moment, not just HP-themed, overall.

Something to look forward to!

Every day a new prompt! It’s like a daily motivational calendar in the form of a podcast ☺️

Much needed daily

This podcast is quite literally the best idea Mugglenet has had in SO LONG. The fandom needs this, as even some hosts on the MN podcasts have been overtaken by Hot Take culture.
Thank you Kat for championing this!
