This week, we finally wrap up the backwards car crash that is Joanne’s (gasp) career with our thoughts on the Harry Potter books. We got really sad in this one, folks, so be prepared. Gaia calls in from a farm in Maine and we talk about how to continue being Harry Potter fans by focusing on fan work and community! We made Harry Potter; Joanne did not (rip Wolfstar). We lament feeling like our favorite childhood book series punched us in the face and as sad as we get, Bitch Time is still especially fun this week! Find out our thoughts on allegorical racism, which Harry Potter characters we think get pegged, and so much more this week on 'Bitch, Why?'!

Leave us a review and email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
