717 - The Cadbury Creme Egg of it All - 111422 12.41 AM
QUICK ASK FROM YOUR HOSTS: If you have a hot tip on how we can get our hands on some Crème Cadbury Eggs or a good dupe recipe for them please hit us up at [email protected].
Now that we have that out of the way, this week we are still in Godric’s Hollow but this time around we’ve got a snake to contend with (and, yes, we’re not talking about Taylor Swift’s Reputation Era --incidentally one of Adri's favorite Eras, since it's heavy on the revenge aspect). We’re talking about how Nagini was encased within Bathilda Bagshot’s body like some sick sausage of a joke.
We talk midterm elections in the United States, Aaron Carter’s unfortunate passing, the politics of memorialization, the politics of home (and its ties to nationalist movements in the United States and in Europe), your responses to how you handle grief (you made us choke up!), and the media we’ve been consuming to get us through these busy days.
We want to hear from you!
