Episode 31 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!
Jen, LadyChi and I are pleased to introduce guest-host Mike (OsRavan from the Poufwa forum), who graciously agreed to stand in for a highly medicated Meg as we pushed our discussion to Chapter 74 of A Year Like None Other, by Aspen in the Sunlight. Thanks Mike!
We will conclude our series on AYLNO in two weeks time, at which point we will crank out a very efficient and orderly movie commentary before moving onto The ShoeBox Project.
That’s all I got. Oh yeah. Stay three steps away from LadyChi in this one.
Happy listening!

Episode 30 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!
With four episodes to go in our A Year Like None Other series, our hopelessly off-topic team covers up to Chapter 66 with our unique mix of indepth analysis and completely off-topic banter. Episode bullets will follow, although expect to see a great deal of time devoted to my predictions for Chapter 67. And yes, it does involve a garden gnome. 
Don’t miss the Halloween Ball on our forum from Friday October 26 – Sunday October 28! We’ll be releasing a special Halloween edition on the 31st, and stay tuned for our Chamber of Secrets commentary.
Happy listening!

After six delays, Episode 29 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!
In this quasi-extreme episode, we discuss Chapters 51-58 of A Year Like None Other, by Aspen in the Sunlight. I don’t even need to tell you that we go off-topic, but do know that during the 20-25 minutes of solid fic discussion, we’re on the ball, so don’t miss it.
Despite the fact that she’s our Head of Ravenclaw House, I’d like to give very special thanks to LadyChi for her outstanding Gryffindor bravery shown throughout this episode. We love you Chi! (Even though the last thirty seconds do demonstrate you have some anger management issues to address whenever convenient.) Additional thanks to Shiny from the forums for the hours of editing work she invested into this episode, and to SpellCast Robert and SpellCast Josh for…well….everything. Find them here.
I have to say that this is my favorite episode so far, although Episode 30 is coming out soon, so jump in fast.
