PE is proud to present the fourth episode on the first and shortest book of the Harry Potter series. We only have three chapters on the docket tonight. Only three. Ponder that fact for a moment. Now question how long it will take. Oh, you will be amazed.
Deth’s scheduling leaves much to be desired. He tries to steer the ship, but we crash onto the rocks. rae accidentally drank a high ABU beverage and can feel herself being drunk. She one-ups Kat at LOTR. Winning. Kat is drinking some sort of booze. She’s not really sure what. She’s having fun, and that’s all that counts. She also encourages other people to drink. Perhaps due to all this drinking, we sing. Badly.
Harry took all his classes pass/fail. The calendar moves very briskly. How big is the lake? JKR didn’t think that far ahead.
Startling Revelations:
* Harry is an idiot.
* Ron is an assmitten.
* Hermione is nice.
* Neville is awesomesauce.
Hosts: Dethryl, Kat, Moony, raesive
Special Guests: Kathryn, Faraday, Curie

Poufwa Exchange returns with another year old recording! We continue our coverage of the Harry Potter canon, sometimes known as That Fic Written By JK Rowling. Tonight we covered chapters 10 through 14, and discussed parts of every other book in the series.
Character discussion! All Ron all the time. The famous Prewett temper. Minor characters discussed include Hermione the little liar and Draco the klepto-magpie. Hagrid drinks too much, but he has a giant hair dryer. The professors are all drunk too, and the characters are all idiots.
Kat is impersonating Tricia tonight. She’s hot but does not like vomit. She says “No” a lot and approves of stealing from baby dragons. Moony doesn’t know where she’s going but is eager to find things.
Question and Answer session! Do the words of a spell matter? Logistics and logic. JKR didn’t think that deeply about things.
Startling Revelations:
* rae has been abducted by the Daleks and is communicating from outer space.
* Moony will find that if you give her a minute. Hang on.
* Scarlett needs to eat.
* Kat is writing a fic.
* Deth has ideas.
Hosts: Dethryl, Kat, Moony, raesive, Scarlett

We continue our aggressively in-depth discussion of the Harry Potter canon. Last time we only made it through five chapters. Tonight we only do four, and we can’t blame it all on Chi this time. God, help us; we’ve decided to cover the entire canon.
Kat is celebrating her first podcast in her new apartment. She has a bottle of wine and also, as it turned out, the flu. She goes skipping through the daisies and uses her dramatic voice a lot. Moony has improved vision, but it was just a cruel trick. rae makes magical jell-o. Scarlett is having two summers. Because of this good fortune, she is therefore quite brilliant tonight. She claims it comes with being a Ravenclaw, but we don’t hold to house stereotypes around here. Deth has a new job. Now he won’t get to watch Judge Judy all day. He has since left this job and started another right across the street. This episode was recorded a year ago. The fact that Deth has a new job is the reason you’re getting this episode a year late.
It’s totally WeasleyCast tonight. Lots of discussion about the Weasley twins. Lots of Ron. Like, seriously, lots. Every one of the hosts has a problem with him. The odd mention of Harry, Hermione, and Neville.
Startling Revelations:
* rae is a Dalek, reluctantly.
* Moony is an emotional wreck.
* Scarlett is still under age to drink with us.
* Kat has house pride.
* Deth insists upon logic.
Hosts: Dethryl, Kat, Moony, raesive, Scarlett

Some time back, we had the crazy idea to analyze the Harry Potter canon as though it were fanfic. We finally went and did it. We did it with Chi. The result is a return to all the things that made PFW great. We provide completely in-depth discussion of things that are only marginally on the point. We take hours to even start on chapter 1 and hours more to get through it.
Kat is moving tomorrow. She’s not packed. She may indulge in a little bit of swearing tonight, as she has anger issues towards various characters we talk about. She raises the Hufflepuff banner proudly, defying Hagrid’s characterization of her house. The Slytherins cheer her on.
Chi is high on ibuprofen but needs to do laundry. She asks the age-old question “Do laundry or buy new underwear?” We pray for her liver. Her lack of clothes might be why she was propositioned on dating sites.
Lots of in-depth discussion of chapters 1 through 5, so in-depth that it gets way off course. We have become birthers and demand to know where Harry’s birth certificate is. Hagrid was caught breaking into the safe in the Potter house. There’s a lot on the Dursley family. It turns out Uncle Vernon was the nice one. We discover this and other startling revelations about what you thought you knew about canon.
In tonight’s episode:
* Kat is spying on Deth. Since she wants to join the NSA, this is vaguely appropriate.
* Moony urges the abolition of money.
* Chi knows lots of sensitive guys in Kansas.
* Discussions-That-Shall-Not-Be-Had
* Lily is a biker chick.
* Hagrid walks Harry down the aisle.
* Dear God: Do not click on this link until 1:38:00 in the podcast. http://i.imgur.com/EBwdVKd.jpg
Startling Revelations:
– Chi rants all the time
– Moony will talk about that later
– Kat is a Hufflepuff
– Deth has questions
– JKR can’t do maths
Hosts: Dethryl, Kat, Moony
Special Guest: Chi

Special Edition 2 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released! This episode is being simulcast on the PotterFicWeekly feed.
Tonight, PFW and PE collide to discuss what makes bad fanfiction. This is not to single out anyone’s OTP and call it bad, but rather to discuss what makes bad!fic of that pairing. We actually stay away from specific pairings for the most part and focus on themes and cliches. Total recording time for this session was 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Dethryl does the introduction without the critical “And”, yet we somehow survive. PS is broadcasting from inside a tea kettle. Rena’s siblings try to get on the call. Kat does something else that’s funny. Deth and Kat are drinking wine while PS is medicated. Rena’s the sober one and scared of these crazy people on the line with her. She runs away about halfway through.
Topics:
* Non-canon nicknames like Mione, Siri, Sevy, Lucky, and so on, as well as the stupidity of “Harry” being a nickname.
* Ron being Ron.
* Peter is always evil.
* AU do’s and don’ts.
* Next-Gen is seldom more than a clone of our heroes and villains.
* Fanfiction of fanfiction.
* Slash warnings and Het warnings. Explosions, chases, and action warnings.
* Mary Sues.
* Dragging external stuff into HP when it blatantly contradicts canon.
* Martial arts.
* Shopping.
* Localized speech patterns and Briticisms.
* Unhealthy fascination with Muggle stuff.
* Snape and house points.
* Houses other than Slytherin are also evil.
* Harry adoption.
* Crossovers.
* Cassie Claire.
Startling Revelations:
* Kat has kids.
* Dethryl has written a fic called They Shook Hands.
* PS likes slash.
Maniacs: Dethryl, Kat, PS, and Rena
Runtime: 4’58’29

Episode 14, the first in a new batch of Poufwa Exchange episodes, has been released!
Rinna and Kezza sit down with special guests Cleolinda and Gowdie to discuss wank. This discussion took place in June. We’d like to think that the three-month delay in releasing it was because our discussion was so awesome that it took three months to really let it sink in. At least, that’s the story we’re telling.
This episode covers wank, the etiquette (or lack thereof) in fandom, modern rhetoric, Twitter, and American Idol, with a dose of Twilight for good measure.
Be careful – snark is flammable. Listen at your own risk.
