Great listen. Have been observing from a distance, the growing anger towards JK Rowling and this podcast provides great insight into behaviours on both sides of the discussion. I’m with JKR so far and yet to be convinced that this is the wrong view, but this podcast has sought to give both opinions which is a balanced approach to such a divisive subject.

Well balanced and honest

This podcast is really good.
The interviewer comes from a position of truly believing she was right and everyone else was wrong to learning, through open dialogue (& free speech) that she was in fact, not right, but deeply flawed in her beliefs, values and ultimately in her actions.
It is from this perspective that she comes to talk to JK Rowling to ask her all the hard questions she has had to ask herself.
This podcast is backed up by research, news articles and audio recordings.
It’s really good and teaches about the importance of learning what these arguments are about and from whence the hard right (alt right) are really coming from, and what it is doing.
Highly recommended.

Excellent and non biased discussion.
