Mangum Reads

In our ‘podcast within a podcast’ we are doing a chapter by chapter read of the Harry Potter books. Every episode we’ll cover one chapter with a summary, individual segments (questioning Sarah about the Wizarding World) along with a bit of a discussion about the books from a muggle perspective.

We return to one of our favorite authors, NK Jemisin, from another episode of LeVar Burton Reads. We have a lovely little pulp Sci-Fi story about a little boy who has turned himself into a police station to be arrested. Jemisin apparently came up with the story when she ran out of coffee, which you can tell a bit in some of the details.

Next up: A Witch’s Guide to Escape: A Practical Compendium of Portal Fantasies by Alix E. Harrow

On Deck: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

We take another dive into a biblically related extremely short story. This time we are reading the grand dame of science fiction Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘She Unnames Them’. We get a very quick glimpse into juxta-Eden world following the naming of all the animals by Adam. We try and figure out the purpose and the nature of Eve’s ‘unnaming’ of the animals and what that means.
