Episode 8: The Winner of the Raspberry Cup
Howdy, witches!We recorded this episode in Marcelle’s rasberry-filled yard, all the while stuffing our faces with these spectacularly tart backyard berries. If only we realized at the time how entirely à propos our snack choice was! Can you find all the “raspberries” in tonight’s episode? Listen and find out.http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WitchPlease-20150727-E8WinnerOfTheRaspberryCup.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 7.5: A Draught of Veritaserum
Hello, dear witches!Tonight we present to you… our second minisode! While Hannah rubs elbows in Montreal, Marcelle answers your questions with the help of our erstwhile tech support and the robot of our hearts: Trevor.Thanks to everyone who submitted #witchpleasetellme questions! We love interacting with our listeners even more than we love the Harry Potter series. And, now that she’s allowed to look at the twitter feed, Marcelle will re-post all of your excellent queries for everyone’s enjoyment!http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WitchPlease-20150713-ADraughtOfVeritaserum.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.

Episode 7B: The Goblet is Political
Welcome back, witches! We are thrilled to bring you our second (too-long) episode of Witch, Please about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In today’s episode, “The Goblet is Political,” guest host Andrea Hasenbank helps us wrap our heads around the issue of labour (domestic, craft, and pre-industrial) in the wizarding world.We’re dealing with a lot of big, serious topics, so you may notice a slight derth of whimsical sound effects. We’re pretty optimistic that the discussions themselves will compensate for this absence.xohttp://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WitchPlease-20150629-E7B_The-Goblet_Is_Political.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.

Episode 7A: The Tri-and-fail-to-fit-everything-into-an-hour Tournament
Here we are, witches, with the first of TWO too long episodes about Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire. Marcelle is back from her adventures in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (a mystical land whose residents think Witch, Please episodes appear on Tuesdays!) and joins Hannah for an 85-minute discussion about displacing racial violence onto “grievable subjects,” precarity, sexual violence, Game of Thrones, and more.Spoilers ABOUND in this episode, so proceed with caution.http://ohwitchplease.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/WitchPlease-20150615-E7AThe-Tri-and-fail-to-fit-everything-into-an-hour-Tournament.mp3Download Episode Hosted on Acast.
