Description

This week, Casper and Vanessa are joined by journalist Lauren Sandler to discuss her book This is All I Got: A New Mother’s Search for Home, and what it teaches us about homelessness in America. Together, they explore how Harry, Ron, and Hermione are feeling the pressures of housing insecurity in the seventh book, and how to think about Ron leaving. Thanks to Jessica, Laura, Thomas, Rebecca, and Hannah for their beautiful voicemail contributions. Next week we’ll be reading Chapter 15, The Goblin’s Revenge, through the theme of Ownership. --It’s two sickles to join S.P.E.W., and only a dollar to join our Patreon for extra bloopers every week!

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.
