#276: No Noe
13/03/2018 Duration: 01h06minOh no! No Noe! Melissa and Frak discuss their reactions to Jo's reactions to the Johnny Depp controversy; we play your reactions to last week's episode, Queer. And we mean to cover Ch 5/6 of book one, but there was just too much to discuss and we only make it through Ch 5! In the drums it's Black Panther, surprising podcast recs, and tales of woe from inside the old PotterCast tours (including why Frankie can't eat at Subway).

Is it straightwashing, ineffective PR, or just a misunderstanding? Also! News on what's coming up for the show, Frankie shares a story about a blob, and the drums we tell you what to watch and listen to, because we care like that. :-)
