Okay, why in both of these interview is over half of both you guys yapping and less than half of it Jo? Are you really that self-important? I’d rather not here self-important obsessed fans yapping over the author of the books.

Oh yes, how dare they actually speak on their own podcast. I guess next time Melissa, John, and Sue have a chance for interviewing J.K. Rowling, they should do it without speaking. Jeez, what were they thinking? insert eye-roll here Some people and their posts…. Anyway, I loved the interview. Fantastic job by everyone involved! Can’t wait for the bloopers!

When I try to play the interview or download it, it keeps stopping about 2 minutes in. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks!!!

I have a subscription through iTunes, & this new episode (episode 131) doesn’t seem to be available through iTunes yet. The last one I got (I update daily) was episode 130. The direct downloads don’t seem to work either.
