MuggleCast #118: Controversy
Let's face it, it's what makes good radio. In this week's episode of our Harry Potter podcast, Laura, Eric and I discuss several hot topics that are sure to bring us lots of feedback from listeners:- We discuss the impact of Equus coming to Broadway.
- The Lexicon Lawsuit is making a lot of press and we respond.
- Should the book hit store shelves or do WB and JKR have a point?
- We address some listener rebuttals, most of which focus on Dumbledore being gay.
- One listener asks us how to handle parents who are now considering banning the books from her.
All that and much more can be found on this week's show! To download, we recommend subscribing (for free) through iTunes.

Can we please stop talking about Dumbledore being gay? We know that already, we don't have to hear everyone (and their mom's) opinion on it.
WOW! SATURDAY MUGGLECAST! Andrew, I love you. Will you marry me? (you don't have to if you don't want to.)
If you are wasting your post by just saying "yay, top 5!" I don't think you should be allowed to post...
Andrew made an error in writing this post. He should have put "banning her" not banner. Anyways . . . This basically makes my night.
hurray for the saturday night podcast! thanks andrew!!!

Marie_, you have issues. Anywho, I love MuggleCast! I wish there were more MuggleCasters in this episode.
WOO NEW PODCAST! Unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow to head over to the library for high-speed wireless so I'm not sitting here until 2 AM... but oh well! Yay! Kind of scared for serious lawsuit talk and such, but hey. I'm sort of excited to listen to reactions. Can't wait for the rebuttal, specifically the last one about parent. My parents almost did that. THANKS!!!!

Like I said, you have issues. Consult some help. ^^
who are the cheesecakians??
Did Laura say the "F" word on 43:30 ?!
Aha! Perfect! I'm in the middle of a hurricane/post tropical storm and the power is due to to go out any minute. So stoked I have MuggleCast to entertain me :D
^I think the episode might be uncut.
nice job dropping the f-bomb around 47 mins, laura =] good show overall
It was sort of bleak. I think the F word was around 43 mins, though.
