Bonus Episode: Azkaban & The Prison Indu...

Witch, Please Productions
About this episode

Today we’re dropping a bonus conversation into your feed featuring Adrian Angus, a dear friend of Marcelle's who passed away unexpectedly in September. This bonus episode was originally released as a Patreon perk back in March 2021. At the time, our flagship show was Witch, Please, a scholarly podcast about the Harry Potter world and this bonus accompanied our Book three episode about The Prison Industrial Complex with guest Mercedes Eng — which you can listen to wherever you get your podcasts.


October 19th, would have been Adrian’s 40th birthday, so it seems fitting to share this snapshot of Adrian’s joy, intellect, and insight with current listeners of Material Girls. If you enjoy this episode, you can join Witch, Please Productions in donating to the Black Public Defender Association in Adrian’s honor at: blackdefender.org/donate


Thanks for listening! <3
