MuggleCast #118: Controversy
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.

Hi all..I am a long time listener of MC and I have a technical question- why does it sometimes take so long for the latest mcast to show up on my i-tunes? This one came out last night...I have checked i-tunes like every hour all day and it still isn't there..ugh!!

Oohh, I Heard A Little F Word In There! Whoopsies! Ok, I'm Over It.


Posted by hedwig794 Nov 5th 2007

yay they made another podcast 4 days later! nice! I guess they made up for not having one for 2 weeks


Posted by DarkMark666 Nov 6th 2007

I think Laura's use of the F-word invalidates her fanciful utopian arguments about homosexuality in current society...lol


Posted by xmugglecastismylifex Nov 7th 2007
