In this episode, Heather Roberts of the Wine Mind podcast joins me to talk about spectacle. We talk about how Snape is a character that would refuse therapy, Ron and his need for recognition, Harry's longing for a normal life, Rita Skeeter's penchant for the dramatic, and the use of spectacle as a distraction in politics. Rita, in particular, reminds us of so-called journalists in the 24-hour news cycle, which leads us to an interesting discussion on the distinction between entertainment and journalism.
