Happy St. Nicholas Day. (I know that’s about 28 minutes too late…)
Today, The Classic Tales Podcast releases the first of a three-part installment of Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. Throughout the next three weeks, the Blogengamot will be posting at least once a week (hopefully more) on the portion of the story released by The Classic Tales for that week.* This should be a bit easier and more accessible a discussion that Lovecraft was for a few reasons. (1) It’s a bit easier to make time for a podcast, since you can listen to the audiobook in the car. (2) The story is already quite well-known. (3) Connections between Dickens and Rowling are a bit more obvious and evidenced than Rowling/Lovecraft. Please download the podcast and join the discussion in the comments!
The insanity that is my current workload ends on Tuesday, and I hope to get something posted on The Golden Compass near the end of next week. I won’t have seen the movie yet, but I did just finish the book. Keep an eye on HP Progs, as I just did an interview with them on Wednesday. Greg and Penny are great, and I highly recommend their podcast! I had a lot of fun talking to them, and I hope to get them on the pubcast soon and to join them in the near future again.

*This is not a discussion that is sponsored by The Classic Tales. I doubt B.J. Harrison is even aware our little blog exists.
