- 704: Has Helene been Hanging out with Biden? (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 4)
Helene is back and we're talking about chapter 4 of DH, where there are multiple Harrys involved (as well as one death we really don't like talking about). We talk COVID, Martha Stewart's peacocks, roadrunners, Hedwig, the saddest of tours, allyship, and strategic defense.

58 min - 703: Could We All Be More like Arthur Weasley? (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 3)
Helene is out sick (get well soon, Helene!), but we've got a returning guest to try to fill her shoes: Seth Wilson, your favorite host who has only read a few chapters of the series lends us his outside view into the series. Seth and Adri talk about the idea of "developing" vs "developed" countries and how it has roots in white supremacy, which can be translated into wizard supremacy. We talk about how these different spheres in British society, with their own governments and cultures, can give us a glimpse into how the complex of superiority can lead us astray. We also talk about how Arthur Weasley can be an example we hold dear when it comes to interacting with cultures different than our own.

42 min - 702: Dumbledore's Legacy and Harry's Remembrance (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 2)
This week, we talk about the politics of legacy and remembrance on chapter 2 of DH. We talk about how legacy has more to do with what impact your actions had on people's lives (rather than the work product that you ostensibly produced) and about how remembrance has a time period associated with it involving reflection and (hopefully) growth.

58 min - 701: Over the Moon with Lucius Malfoy & Martha Stewart (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 1)
What do Lucius Malfoy and Martha Stewart have in common? Jump in and find out as we return with our final and seventh season of this fine podcast.
In this episode, we're talking about that one meeting at Malfoy manor that really could have been an email, but much like Elon Musk, Voldemort does not believe in that WFH life. We talk about the politics of conspiracy and seditious intent, how to really make an impact on the boss so he doesn't overlook your contributions, our dementors and chocolate, and much more.

41 min - 628: The Assassinator (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Chapter 28)
Don't know how to say this any other way, but strap in for another chapter of HBP that is filled with sadness. Your hosts, Helene and Adri, talk about the politics of assassination and grief respectively. We talk about the aftermath of Dumbledore's assassination and the different ways in which Snape, Harry, and Hagrid deal with the initial stages of grief, especially when that grief has a political symbolism attached to it.

Helene and Adri delve into the depths of despair in chapter 27 of HBP to talk about the Politics of Child Soldiers and Rhetoric when it comes to Draco and Dumbledore. We talk about how Draco is being forced to take on a task that is too unimaginable for a 16 year-old on behalf of someone who basically has his family hostage, and how Dumbledore tries to use his rhetorical charm to convince Draco to join the "right" side.

38 min - 625: It's all in about Vibes (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Chapter 25)Well, we've held off as much as we could this season, but here it is (cue spooky music): The Patriarchy. In chapter 25 of HBP, we see how Harry basically ignores every woman (except for Ginny, for romantic reasons) and how there's a clear double standard when it comes to men vs. women.
