Owl Post Edition: Homelessness with Lauren Sandler

Aug 20, 2020
45:42

This week, Casper and Vanessa are joined by journalist Lauren Sandler to discuss her book This is All I Got: A New Mother’s Search for Home, and what it teaches us about homelessness in America. Together, they explore how Harry, Ron, and Hermione are feeling the pressures of housing insecurity in the seventh book, and how to think about Ron leaving. 


Thanks to Jessica, Laura, Thomas, Rebecca, and Hannah for their beautiful voicemail contributions. Next week we’ll be reading Chapter 15, The Goblin’s Revenge, through the theme of Ownership.
