Kelly and Sue are really excited to bring you “Away From The Sun” by cibjasfad. The other hosts jump on the band wagon pretty quick, PS read the entire story in just two sittings, she couldn’t put it down. This was recorded well over a year ago and it’s dated as we talk about the DH1 trailer and our predictions on where it’s going to split. Also in this long ago episode we find out about Ryan and Jen’s adventure on Melinda’s boat. I know it’s old stuff, but it’s classic, I had to leave it in. And speaking of Melinda, we’d really like her to read this story. If you haven’t read this yet, we strongly recommend you read it before listening to us or you’ll be spoiled and you really don’t want to have that happen. Oh and we strongly recommend you heed the tissue warning.

As we close out our coverage of “Points of No Return” by Night Zephyr, we learn that Evil Overlords should not monologue, Neville could save the day (with Mike, the Venomous Tentacula’s help) and Sue’s thinking of the game Mouse Trap. We also find out that Lord Tom lies, Harry just wants to be killed already and Ron needs an orange superhero cape with a big C for Champion on it. Along the way we give you a lesson in text readers and hope to convert at least a few of you to the listening side. But most of all, we learn that the shirt tells the story.
Stay tuned at the end of this episode for an interview with Night Zephyr.

Ryan, Sue, Danielle and Jen got together to watch the last Harry Potter film and you get to peek in and listen along as they watch. Along the way they discuss politics, “eye” phones and Ryan and Danielle’s wedded bliss. And that’s before they even start the film.
Poufwa wants to thank Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls for their awesome music.
Feel free to start this podcast before starting your film. They’ll tell you when to hit play. They had a bad feeling about it, but actually pulled it off in one take. Scary.

PeonCast: Four Hufflepuffs and a Wacky Ginger
In this special edition of PeonCast we discuss the “It’s Not Over Yet” challenge from PFW. Scarlett wasn’t ready for HP to be over as the last movie came out, so she organized a writing challenge. Each entry was posted anonymously and forum members were able to read and comment on each story. After everyone had time to read them, we put up a poll and the top ficlet and drabble won the honor to be discussed by the Poufwa podcasters. Join us as we talk to Scarlett and Sue about the fics they wrote. We drag Aaron in without notice and expect him to make sense. Scarlett’s roomie crashes the podcast and we give love to several authors. You can read all the stories on www.potterficforum.com if you’ve missed them.

In this episode we talk about “Secrets” by our very own Jules. We have two, well three if you count Darth, special guests. Even though our two special guests are old hands, we still have our troubles as we find that someone is breathing a little too much, Tricia is attacked by the Loch Ness Monster and Sue’s lost control of the podcast. We also revisit our discussion of “who’s on top” from our PeonCast days. There is a lot of love and laughter in this one, not to mention the breathing, lots and lots of breathing. And did we mention the “in laws?”
Jules has also written “Sisters” This wasn’t really written to go along with Secrets, but it does, so give it a read too.

Today in PuffCast, we finish up our discussion of “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy. We revisit explosive topics such as Yellowstone and Susan Bones, reference both Star Trek and the Muppets at once, and there’s juuust a little bit of sports. Tricia and OG are FANGIRLS, Scott has a visiting ghost and Sue is distracted by “The Talk.” We do talk about the last chapters of Teddy Lupin, where we learn about the Charmer and what’s in that interesting ivy in the forest. As we near the final chapter, our discussion becomes increasingly focused and incisive–and then Kelly joins us, and the tangents ride forth once more.
Then, Fernwithy joins us for an interview, once we overcome our technical difficulties. Interesting discussion ensues, which includes further fangirling, forum promotion, and Oliversgal’s thoughts on the redemption of House Scrimgeour.
We encourage you to check out more of Fern’s stories “here.” Tricia particularly recommends Shifts and Shades, and Teddy’s own story continues in alternating years. Not to mention Albus Potter and the horde of Hermiones.

- Honoria Higgs, mini-Rita
