Summary
The realm of fan fiction is a wild, magical place to be, especially if that fan fiction is set at Hogwarts.

But first, they chat about National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and spend time listening to the first line of some listeners’ NaNoWriMo novels.
Podcast production by Jasmine Ellis, Daniel Schroeder, and Derek John.
