The Podcast That Must Not Be Named - A Harry Potter Podcast Drawbridge Media Co. The Podcast That Must Not Be Named is a chapter by chapter, spoiler-free (mostly) reread podcast of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series with an engineer and a math teacher. As a brother-sister team guilty of consistently annoying the muggles in our family when all get-togethers resulted in discussions of Snape’s so-called redemption, lack of educational oversight at Hogwarts, and Luna Lovegood, we created this show for their sanity. Being avid rereaders, we appreciate the challenge of remaining spoiler-free during chapter discussions but allow ourselves a reprieve in our 5 Chap Recap episodes where we open up spoiler-filled The Unrestricted Section to discuss any connective tissue with future story elements. We also created this show for first-time readers (including our own children) discovering this amazing wizarding world and its timeless cast of characters. We celebrate all things imaginative and take our listeners into the mythical, fantastical, sometimes scary, but always wonde Ring and the Book by Robert Browning Loyal Books "Better translate--"A Roman murder-case:"Position of the entire criminal cause"Of Guido Franceschini, nobleman,"With certain Four the cutthroats in his pay,"Tried, all five, and found guilty and put to death"By heading or hanging as befitted ranks,"At Rome on February Twenty-Two,"Since our salvation Sixteen Ninety Eight:"Wherein it is disputed if, and when,"Husbands may kill adulterous wives, yet 'scape'The customary forfeit.'" (Excerpt from first chapter of The Ring and the Book.)Note from reader: The main text I have read from follows the first edition; but there are some words or lines that do not make sense, either through copying mistakes or because they are difficult if not impossible to make sense of in the first edition. In such cases, I have relied upon an alternate text, found at archive.org and also in the public domain, that contains the wording of the later editions. --Tony Oliva Super Stretch Yoga Jes Rosenberg Jessica Rosenberg, E-RYT 500, YACEP, MID, RYS 200/500, Reiki Master, is committed to helping students live an inspired life through Mindful Moments.
