Detention has never been so…life-threatening. In this episode on Turn on the Light, we wander into Chapter 15 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, ＂The Forbidden Forest＂, where the punishment for being out after curfew is apparently a nighttime stroll through a forest full of mysterious blood-drinking creatures. Totally reasonable.
Join us as we follow Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Draco into the woods with Hagrid, where the v...
It`s hatching.
Join us for episode 15 for a trip down Questionable Decisions Lane with Hagrid, the trio, and Draco`s inability to mind his own business.

Welcome to Turn on the Light, episode 14. Harry, Ron, and Hermione finally remember who Nicholas Flamel is thanks to a Chocolate Frog card (proof that snacks solve everything), and Hermione...always Hermione.
By the end of the chapter, the mystery is solved, the stakes are suddenly very high, and three eleven-year-olds now know they’re up against dark magic, immortality, and extremely poor school security.

In this episode, we crack open Chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, where Harry discovers a mirror that doesn’t show you your outfit...it shows you your deepest unresolved emotional wounds. Cool, cool, very healthy.
We talk late-night wandering, invisible cloaks doing the absolute most, and a mirror that should honestly come with a warning label and a therapist on standby. Along the way, we unpack why Ron just wants...
Welcome to the chapter where Hogwarts introduces its school sport by nearly killing several children. Hermione kicks off her role as the one who saves everyone all the time while Hagrid says too much again.
Join us as we unpack Quidditch in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: airborne bullying, a scoring system that makes no sense, and the moment Harry realizes he was born to fly, even if no one bothered with tryouts.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
