Assassins are popular these days. His Fair Assassin trilogy, which I thought was going to be stupid but which was a dazzlingly well-researched historical and religious drama, and Godsgrave, which was a crazy-cool assassin rock concert at full blast. Hit is about corporate assassins, and Throne of Glass is a competition for the best assassin. …
Canteens out, campers! We’re heading to the Scottish moors to do some glamping and catch a game. This week we learn that there are other people in the world besides British people, we get a tour of some pretty sweet tents, and we talk about the logistics of politics in the Wizarding World (because who …
This isn’t a podcast, it’s your one-touch ticket to Funtown! (Sorry for the nausea – portkey technology is a bit wonky.) This week, we meet Amos and Cedric Diggory (go Hufflepuff!), take a journey with an old boot and talk about maybe the most confounding form of wizard transport: the portkey. And with the Tri-Quizzard neck and …
Tad Williams begins a new journey in the world of Osten Ard with his new book The Witchwood Crown, the first book of a new trilogy The Last King of Osten Ard. Though earlier this year The Heart of What Was Lost served as the first return to Osten Art since the release of To …
There’s a quote from Angela Carter’s “The Tiger’s Bride” that I particularly like: “The tiger will never lie down with the lamb; he acknowledges no pact that is not reciprocal.

Get your dueling table ready, listeners – this week we undermine Wizard-Muggle relations in the most delicious way possible. This week, we explore the wonderful (and probably very dangerous) world of Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and we ask a really hard-hitting question: Why are wizards so bad at dressing like muggles? As always, the battle for Tri-Quizzard glory continues! …
Earlier this year, Patrick Rothfuss announced a 10th Anniversary Edition of his first novel, The Name of the Wind, while the third book, The Doors of Stone, remains in the revision stage with no announced release date. The news is there is no third book yet but the anniversary edition, according to Rothfuss, will contain …
Take us hooomeee wizard roads to the Weasley’s great aboooode – this week we head Back to the Burrow! The Tri-Quizzard tournament has us fatigued, but still fightin’. We also talk through an extremely long (ie. incredibly short) chapter in which there are dangerous candies very cavalierly distributed, and try to really nail down the …
We’ve survived half a year beyond 2016! What an accomplishment, and what better way to celebrate than to look yet further forward. Deliberately without an order of preference and in order of release, here are my most anticipated titles of the coming six months. Wicked Like a Wildfire – Since magic is so often utilitarian …
