If you've ever enjoyed our banter about anything, and are watching or are interested in this show, this is for you.

This episode is hosted by Frak, John, and Melissa, with guest host Bre!

16.2: Can We Just Buy Out J.K. Rowling? (Reaction Pod) Jan 26, 2021

The internet went crazy today when a rumor seemed to break through about the always-destined Harry Potter television show — specifically that while no series is actually in the works, WB is now officially shopping for writers and pitches for an HBO Max event. We did a quick-and-dirty reaction pod with our three hosts and our good friend Proma Khosla, a longtime LeakyCon staffer and Mashable entertainment reporter, to break down the news, what it means for the franchise, and what the fandom does now.

Basically, we decided the fandom just needs to get a trillion dollars together and buy the franchise from JKR.

16.1: Shade from Spotify Dec 14, 2020

When your 2020 wrapped congratulates you on all four episodes of content you produced this year, it must be PotterCast!

Welcome to season 16, in which we are, we swear, on the edge of actually producing this thing at a normal clip. See how it's going to start to work in this episode in which we introduce a few new segments — a bit of opening chatter (including an IN-Depp conversation as Frankie puts it) with your gang, then two new segments: POTTER PONDERINGS (in this episode, we wonder what it takes to make a Hufflepuff go dark) and HEY NETFLIX (in which we pitch spinoff shows about the Potter universe — today, what would we want from a show about the Ministry of Magic?). Then join us to chat in the drums as usual!

15.5: Unsafe Waters Jun 27, 2020

In this episode, Frak, John, and Melissa do what they had not yet done together as hosts and friends: discuss and unpack J.K. Rowling's harmful rhetoric regarding transgender people. We strongly encourage you to listen to 15.2: Sorting It Out, the episode we released right after her tweet in December, for information and facts on why what she is doing is so difficult to parse.

Here is a link to the twitter thread we referenced debunking JKR’s statements:

https://twitter.com/carter_andrewj/status/1270787941275762689?s=21

We also touch on the future of the show, and the state of things in the pool. (You'll get it when you listen.) PotterCast is hoping to recommit to what it did much more in the early days when we didn't all have other jobs: highlighting a wider expanse of fandom, creation, and fun. We appreciate your patience!

15.2: Sorting It Out: J.K. Rowling, transphobia, and what just happened to our community (with Jackson Bird) Dec 21, 2019

Welcome to a very special episode of PotterCast!

This week, J.K. Rowling angered and saddened many fans when she came out in support of a woman whose company had not renewed her employment contract because she refused to recognize the legally protected rights of trans people. In coming back from a months-long Twitter hiatus, J.K. Rowling mischaracterized the facts of the case in support of a dangerous and unscientific movement that invalidates the trans experience, and in doing so flies in the face of medical consensus worldwide.

Her comments also confused a lot of fans who are not fully familiar with the issues at stake, or cannot understand how someone whose book series is so vehemently about tolerance can express support for a woman whose views invalidate so many people's existences. That's why in this episode, we are going over it all.

Jackson Bird, longtime friend of the podcast and of Leaky, as well as author, trans activist and educator, and expert Waffler, joins us to explain and process what this means for Harry Potter fans. We discuss:

What actually happened
What J.K. Rowling said versus what happened to the woman in question, Maya Forstater
Why many fans saw this coming
What to do now that the creator of the series we love so dearly has taken this stance
How to support trans and non-binary communities
How we as fans are feeling about all of this
What to do now, especially since we still love this community

We hope you'll listen and share. Here are some helpful resources, including things we mention in the show:

Jack's book! SORTED: Growing up, coming out, and finding my place
A list of information from medical communities around the world validating that trans and non-binary people exist
GLAAD's transgender media program has great resources, FAQs, ways to take action, and ways to learn
Transstudent.org has more Information regarding sex and gender
GONADS, the great series by RadioLab

News articles regarding this incident:

The Cut
Vox (on British culture and the "gender critical" movement)
The Mary Sue

News articles regarding past incidents that have also upset the community:

The Mary Sue on Johnny Depp and the Crimes of Grindelwald
Past indicators that J.K. Rowling was following trans-exclusionary ideologies
The Guardian on J.K. Rowling's writings on Native American cultulre
"The Harry Potter Series Makes a Mess of Its Commentary on Racism" — The Mary Sue
"Is Fantastic Beasts 2 Racist? Not Quite" — The Washington Post

PotterCast and Leaky stand with our trans and non-binary friends and colleagues.
