In today's episode, Danikka and Erin kick off their Problematic Authors series with the one and only — the queen of being problematic — J.K. Rowling.

They dig into how Rowling rose to fame with Harry Potter, what led to her very public fall from grace starting in 2018, and why her ongoing views and financial influence continue to spark controversy.

If you've ever wrestled with separating the art from the artist, or wondered about the real-world impact of continuing to support Rowling's work, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
