| 0:00.0 | Hey Harry Potter and the Sacred Text listeners. Before today's episode I want to |
| 0:04.5 | tell you about a new podcast from our beautiful, brilliant, incredible friends |
| 0:09.3 | at which please productions. If you don't already know and love them, please |
| 0:13.9 | allow me to introduce you to academics, feminist scholars, and friends of mine, |
| 0:19.5 | Hannah McGregor, and Marcel Cosmon. In 2020 not sorry rebooted their podcast |
