Summary
Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Effort in Chapter Three of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! This week they discuss the myth of effort as an unlimited resource, the Ministry's search for Sirius Black, and Stan's introduction to "Neville Longbottom". Throughout the episode we consider the question: how can we apply effort efficiently?
Thank you to Anna for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 4, The Leaky Cauldron, through the theme of Home, with special guest Jolie Doggett!
