Today's episode is about all things Wizarding media! Wizards consume their news (and gossip) is a lot of different ways, including newsprint, magazines, the wireless, and even television for a short time. We discuss some of our favorite buried canon such as Tilden Toots's radio program Toots, Roots, 'n' Shoots, wizarding opinions on the Internet, what Muggle-born kids would do if forced to leave their phones at home when going to Hogwarts, and much more!

On this week's episode we discuss all things Time Travel! We've pulled from all sorts of canon for this one, from the original books, old Pottermore articles (we keep the receipts!), Cursed Child, and more. The hosts are mixed about how time travel is used in general, and even more so when it comes to the Harry Potter series.

Trigger warning: Stories of abuse, use of adult language, harmful statements regarding the Transgender community. 

On today's episode, we address the recent statements made by JK Rowling on Twitter which are harmful to the Transgender and Non-Binary Communities. During a global pandemic, and in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement and the battle for social justice, JK Rowling got back on Twitter last week to reinforce her stance of "gender critical feminism", also called "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism (TERF)." We dissect her remarks and why we find them so problematic. We have also created a blog post reviewing the material gone over in today's episode including screen shots and links to further information and resources: https://www.holdmybutterbeer.com/post/episode-13-jkr-s-tone-deaf-echo-chamber

Note: This episode was recording before JK Rowling released a statement on her website regarding her views on sex and gender, and so that material is not discussed in today's episode.

On today's episode we discuss all things wizarding libations. Do you know how many brands of wizarding beer, whiskey, and wine are out there? Neither did we before today, but they all sound delicious! We give tips for enjoying drinks in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (but you didn't hear it from us) and discuss the moral implications of elf-made wine, plus so much more! All wizards and witches tuning into this episode are reminded to drink responsibly and follow the guidelines set down by the Department of Intoxicating Substances in your respective countries.

On today's episode we discuss all things wizarding hygiene, medicine, and self-care. How do wizards and witches take care of themselves? Do wizards have soap, or do they just scourgify everything (and we mean everything!)? What would be on the offering menu at a wizarding spa? And why, oh why, did we need that vanishing poop article from Pottermore?? Be sure to listen of all of this and more!
