Re-releasing the Harry Potter Medium Project series we originally released on our other channel onto this one.
In this episode, Sarah and Josh discuss the adaptation of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.
They share their initial and recent reading experiences, compare the book to the movie adaptation, and discuss key themes, favorite characters, and memorable moments.
Sarah and Josh gripe about movie-Harry’s hair but not his eye color; to find out what Hogwarts houses we belong in; and to understand a bit more about Josh’s strong aversion to those kids’ wizarding hats in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone!
They also explore their own Hogwarts houses, favorite magical items, and the subject they would have excelled in at Hogwarts. The episode showcases a balance of humor, personal reflections, and a deep love for the magical world of Harry Potter.

The Sweet and Condensed podcast is a Three Milks Media production.
This episode is a re-release from our other podcast, The Medium Project— a podcast that looks at different mediums that were adapted to the screen. Short stories, books, poems, comics, or even TV shows adapted to movies and vice versa. Discussed through conversation and categories.
We are merging that podcast with this one. We will be releasing Medium Project episodes on the Sweet & Condensed Podcast feed.
In this episode, Sarah and Josh discuss why they started The Medium Project and why it took so damn long to launch it. They share personal insights into the process of creating the podcast, their academic backgrounds, and their passion for storytelling. They highlight the significance of meaningful discussions around art and its ability to connect people.
Listen in to hear Sarah and Josh share about what The Medium Project is all about and why it had a longer gestation period than the African elephant (and what, in turn, taught them about art and creativity).
They said the first episodes are on the Harry Potter episodes but those will be re-released at a later date. The next Medium Project episode will be: It Ends With Us (2024)

Kelly is back on the Sweet & Condensed podcast for another episode of ✨ Kelly’s Pick ✨
In this episode, Kelly and her co-hosts, Eric and Josh, discuss The Summer I Turned Pretty, a TV series streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
The description reads: “Belly Conklin is about to turn 16, and she’s headed to her favorite place in the world, Cousins Beach, to spend the summer with her family and the fishers. Belly’s grown up a lot over the past year, and she feels that this summer will be different than all the summers before. The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on the book by Jenny Han, who is the creator and executive producer.”
With lively banter and humorous moments, the hosts explore the intricacies of the love triangle central to the show. Kelly champions Team Conrad, Josh defends Team Jeremiah, and Eric mediates with a slight bias towards Kelly.
Personal anecdotes, character development, and the show's soundtrack, notably Taylor Swift, are thoroughly examined. The conversation also takes a humorous turn discussing the impact of music, characters' antics involving edibles, and personal experiences related to the show.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts express their appreciation for supporting characters, reflect on book-to-TV adaptations, and share plans for upcoming binge-watching sessions.
