PotterFicWeekly

And we’re back!

Special Edition 17 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Poufwa has always been about pushing the envelope, and we’ve done it again. Tonight, we offer a twelve hour podcast that is easily the longest non-live podcast in the history of the Harry Potter fandom, and possibly the in the history of the world.

The second season of PotterFicWeekly represents sixteen months in the lives of our community, our podcast production, and most importantly each other. We are united because we love the universe of Harry Potter so much that we can’t stand the prospect of it ending, and through that common bond share laughter and friendship.

But as proud Poufwanians, the entire process is kicked into overdrive. We laugh so hard we need our inhalers, which promptly burst in our hands. We jab ourselves with EpiPens to prevent unwanted death, but hit veins and require emergency medical transportation. Our ambulances are delayed due to herds of goats clogging the highway, themselves fleeing from an approaching lightning storm. Sadly, all we probably needed was some vicodin.

From Kezza’s peanut butter railway to Classic Jen’s winter-induced lesbianism…

From drunk Jen2’s notes to the conversion of PS to the dark side…

From the attempted assassination of Rinna by cat to Mike’s fascination with rising coastal waters…

From the entrepreneur who wanted to buy my bed to whatever Chi was on during the Smutgiving podcast…

…we dedicate this episode to the Poufwanian community, and the lifelong relationships it has created.

But most importantly, we dedicate this episode…to Susan Bones!

The full podast is 340 megabytes. In the event you have storage or connection issues, the episode is also available in two installments below.

Next week, the third season of Poufwa launches with our three-part coverage of Rinna’s selection for the podcast, Harry Potter and the Power of Truth and Harry Potter and the Power of Faith, by CreativeQuill.

What if the magical world DID exist? What if Harry Potter and the major characters from the books were real, and there was a very real threat looming from the magical world?

It is also my great pleasure to announce the debut of PeonCast: The Next Generation in our third season! Sue, Kismatt, Kayla, Scott, Mslupin, and Cody - together with their own peons - will pick up the baton from their ancestors and deliver weekly coverage of one-shots and short novel length fics, beginning next week with discussion of In the Beginning, by CreativeQuill!

Happy listening!

Episode 76 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In tonight’s episode of PotterFicWeekly, our hosts discuss Chapters 39 through the Outtakes of Backward with Purpose, by Deadwoodpecker, proving once again that our hosts can and will, when given the opportunity, turn something totally benign into a confusing mess, monologue incessantly and gossip like old women.

Some of tonight’s highlights include:

Sue discusses bagel mpreg;

Ryan publicly apologizes to Jen2 for sucking her into the madness of BSG;

Classic Jen bails because of Lee’s butt problems;

Mike buys LSD;

Ryan gets the down-low on Merlin;

PS establishes the existence of Ron’s intelligence;

Ryan forgets yet once again he’s not podcasting on Deep Space Nine;

Ryan he’sgoingsenile completely misses major plot points of Deathly Hallows, Snape doesn’t die a lame death and Lavender Brown may be alive;

PS reveals flashbacks from a former life;

A conversation about Daphne Greengrass leads Aaron to monologue on Hitler; 

PS frets over the absence of Slughorn and why stories aren’t worth reading if Sluggy isn’t on the character list;

All this and more awaits you…

Happy listening!

Episode 74 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

This evening, we resume our analysis of Backward with Purpose, by Deadwoodpecker and cover Chapters 16 through 24.

We get deep. We’re rowdy. We talk about the origins of time and destiny. It’s like college in here!

I can’t make sense of the author’s name and call half of the characters disloyal. Well, at least Molly and Hermione.

While we’re on the subject, President Laura Roslin has a few things to say about Molly Weasley’s parenting skills. She’s coming for all of you!

Melindaleo, back from accusing Susan Bones of being a communist, is sadly in complete denial of her addiction to AU.

PS is utterly charming, but read the fic and sequel in one sitting and may need a catheter.

On that note, happy listening!

Episode 71, of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight’s podcast covers through Chapter 39 of LavenderBrown’s The Final Reckoning!

Welcome back for this long-awaited episode… It was doomed from the start. We tried to record it; something like thirty-seven times. In the end, the Peons took over and performed beautifully.

On topic? You bet. They’re Peons. It’s their mantra.

Interesting and informative? Of course. We learn all about how edible underwear are acceptable as a form of food under Jewish law. And that Tricia must wear flip-flops in public shower stalls for fear of coming in contact with random body fluids.

Poufwanian? Sheesh. Who do you think we are? Listen and learn, people. Draco’s squicky relationship with Pansy, Ron’s fight with the garbage disposal and Hermione’s gun fetish: they’re all in this week’s episode!

(Oh. And we promise no elephants were harmed in the recording of this episode.)

Any feedback/comments/voicemails covering tonight’s podcast or chapters can be emailed directly to ryan@potterficweekly.com.

This podcast is rated R, and while it is available to the public without password, it may not be suitable for younger readers.

Happy listening!
