The Polyjuice Potion

October 02, 2022 19:31 - 30 minutes - 22.7 MB

Be comfortable with who you are, everyone. You don't need any tricks or potions to do detective work. It's almost as if these young folks forget that they have an invisibility cloak. Thanks for joining us for another chapter as we push towards the end of the Chamber of Secrets. We love you all. And calling all people interested in voice work! We are currently looking for folks to join us for new roles in The Prisoner of Azkaban! Inquire in the HogsRead Facebook group, just search for HogsR...

Nothing like having a tube sock for an arm while also attempting a beautiful potion heist and talking to a talking wind sock that's trying to "save" you.

August 08, 2022 19:58 - 30 minutes - 23 MB

I would normally put up a silly summary of this particular episode but I just really want to thank Jhae from the Hard Parking Podcast for lending his voice to Professor Binns. Also, with the same amount of gusto and love, I really want to thank all of YOU for listening and collaborating and love this just as much as I do.

The Deathday Party

July 18, 2022 19:10 - 26 minutes - 19.4 MB

Mudbloods & Murmurs

June 07, 2022 14:00 - 26 minutes - 21.1 MB
