Welcome back, witches! We are thrilled to bring you our second (too-long) episode of Witch, Please about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In today’s episode, “The Goblet is Political,” guest host Andrea Hasenbank helps us wrap our heads around the issue of labour (domestic, craft, and pre-industrial) in the wizarding world.We’re dealing with a lot of big, serious topics, so you may notice a slight derth of whimsical sound effects. We’re pretty optimistic that the discussions themselves will compensate for this absence.xohttp://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WitchPlease-20150629-E7B_The-Goblet_Is_Political.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.

Here we are, witches, with the first of TWO too long episodes about Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire. Marcelle is back from her adventures in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (a mystical land whose residents think Witch, Please episodes appear on Tuesdays!) and joins Hannah for an 85-minute discussion about displacing racial violence onto “grievable subjects,” precarity, sexual violence, Game of Thrones, and more.Spoilers ABOUND in this episode, so proceed with caution.http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WitchPlease-20150615-E7AThe-Tri-and-fail-to-fit-everything-into-an-hour-Tournament.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.

Our first ever, surprisingly long minisode. Sylvie and Rebecca join Hannah for some unusual segments and old-timey foley work.http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WitchPlease-20150601-BecSylvieMinisode.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode was a real adventure–not just the editing, but the recording process, too. An extra long wait for an extra long episode: it makes sense, if you think about it!We are excited to present to you Witch, Please Episode 6: Neale Barnholden and the Final Cut, which would make a pretty decent band name IMHO.Extra special thanks to CJSR fm, the Edmonton Public Library, and the wonderful viewers and organizers of Edmonton’s Accio Books.Enjoy!http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/WitchPlease-20150518-E6NealeBarnholdenAndTheFinalCut.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.
