E 30: Deep Diving Percy Weasley, Harry Potter Obscure Characters Series, The Philosophy of Hogwarts House Sorting

Your cohosts, Rachael and Jelaire, are deep diving obscure Harry Potter characters and we're starting off strong with Mr. Prefect himself, Percy Weasley (MAIN TOPIC STARTS AT 19:00). I know we all want to talk about the estrangement, but we have to dig into the factors that made Percy up BEFORE that happened. We'll get into all the angels from Percy's side as well as discuss what house he really belongs in. This part is interesting because one of the co-hosts met Chris Rankin himself and says what the actor himself thinks about Percy being a Gryffindor. 
This video is full of hot takes, including but not limited to, an intense discussion about the philosophy of Hogwarts house sorting. 
At the beginning, we yap about all kinds of things. The book we mention when discussing pregnancy troupes is "Filthy Rich Vampires" by Geneva Lee.
Rachael's author pages are @RachaelAnnBeck on Instagram and TikTok. You can also read more about her fairytale on RachaelAnnBeck.com. It comes out March 2025 and is illustrated by Zoe Saunders.

E 29: LeakyCon Portland/ What it was like/ Wand Duels/ Us breaking rules (allegedly)

In today’s episode Rachael is joined by co-host Brian to talk about our experiences at LeakyCon. We had wand duels, talked to very famous people, recreated some Twilight moments, and even did something VERY AGAINST THE RULES (allegedly). You can catch us (most likely, maybe we really are on a blacklist lol) at EnchantiCon (what LeakyCon is morphing into) August 2025.

E 28: Unhinged Harry Potter This or That's with CowCatClean

In today’s episode the regular cohosts, Jelaire and Rachael, are joined by a SPECIAL GUEST. Taylor from CowCatClean comes on to help us answer Harry Potter “this or that’s”. We each logic our way through all kinds of silly scenarios about different classes and professors. It’s unhinged, philosophically and comical all at the same time.

I realize I pronounced“skewerts” incorrectly the whole time. Someone told me after recording. What can I say? I put the sexy in dyslexia.

E 27: Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 Reactions

We start the video with High Mids including talking about a Cozy Cat n Soup iphone game, the new Eras Tour set, and Lightlark. Skip to 15:52 for the main topic. We really get into Bridgerton. The ways Pen has grown and... hasn't. How Colin is a piece of trash and isn't in love with Pen properly (the Duke would never do Daphne so dirty). The beautiful depiction of female friendships and much more. Anybody else notice the CHEMISTRY between Pen and Lord Debling? Man may be blonde, but he was certainly HOT.
