IS THE BEST ONE OF ALL TIME???
Over the weekend, while I was busy wedding-ing and celebrating one of my almost-daughters, a podcast featuring yours truly and recorded for Tsh’s The Simple Show aired. I’ll be honest:
a) It’s the first time I’ve ever accepted a podcast invite.
b) It’s the first time I’ve ever listened to a podcast (don’t judge me. It’s a phone issue.)
c) It was incredibly and surprisingly fun, and not awful to hear it played back.
A who texted me after listening had this to say about it:
Just listened to your podcast episode with Tsh! Loved it!! You really should consider doing a podcast yourself. You’re very engaging, smart, knowledgable, wise, witty, and I could go on. Count me as your first subscriber. 🙂
( isn’t just a sweet friend, she was my first friend and neighbor after I got married and moved a long way from home. We were delighted to “find” each other again a few years ago at a blog conference–how cool is that?)
It seems poetic and lovely that the first podcast I join would be one talking about Harry Potter. For those of you who knew me for my first years of blogging, you already know I blogged under the name of PENSIEVE, a HP relic introduced in book four, The Goblet of Fire.
I truly hope you’ll check out The Simple Show’s 25th episode, “” and tell me what you think. As long as you’re nice about it, you can even disagree with Cindy’s perspective. Otherwise, “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything” should apply. Silence speaks volumes :).

Robin,
Your voice is perfect for podcasts–it s engaging and lovely to listen to!! You should do one of your own. I listen to podcasts on my computer all the time and your voice was sweet as honey!
Blessings 🙂
I just listened to this podcast! I have been searching for a lovely new podcast to listen to (because I’ve listened to all the Hope*ologie episodes like, 5 times), and now, thanks to you and Tsh, I’ve found it. Of course, it helped that you spent a whole episode talking about Harry Potter. (Maybe you could do 7 installments? Just kidding. But kind of not.) Anyway, thanks for accepting a podcast invite and sharing thoughts that resonate so beautifully with my own! (And articulate them much better than I would.)
Ahhhh, Haylie, THANK YOU for popping over to let me know! It was SO fun chatting with Tsh (could you tell?). It’s always fun to share a kindred spirit, and when it comes to HP, I love it when people “get” what I’m saying. So nice to hear from you :).
Hi Robin! I found your blog after listening to the Simple Show. I just read the first Harry Potter book after listening to you (I am 41!!) and I loved it! My daughter just started reading book 1 last night. Are there any resources you would recommend for discussing HP from a Christian perspective? I am an avid reader but dissecting literary themes without a guide is not in my bag of tricks at this point.
Your point of view on the podcast was the impetus that finally pushed me over the hurdle, so thank you! Now off to book two!!
