I also wanted to apologize for the recent audio quality not being as good as you guys are used to. I have new upstairs neighbors that have made it very difficult to record without using the highest level of background noise cancellation. I'm currently in the process of moving to a new space that will be much more podcast friendly :) I appreciate your patience during this time! <3

For today's episode you need to have read CHAPTERS 24 & 25 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. We chat about occlumency, deep dive into telepathy, and why people are starting to turn to Harry for answers.
