Tickling the Pear: Revisiting "The House-Elf Liberation Front"

Who better to spend the holidays with than our favorite four wittle Gryffindors? That’s right, it’s time for our first ‘All the Young Dudes’ episode of Season 11! We’re covering chapters 47-49 and the delirious holiday sillies are in full force. If you don’t enjoy extended periods of wheezing laughter, this episode might not be your cup of anti-werewolf draught. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We’re BAAAAAAACK and Season 11 is coming hot out of the gate with a deep dive on the four Hogwarts founders and the houses they created- the best way (in our view) to lay the foundation for Season 11’s  ongoing House Point competition among our listeners that we’ll tell you all about. Plus: moors (for some reason), we confuse ourselves about the horcruxes, and Godric Gryffindor’s BDE. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

For our Season 10 finale, we’re waxing philosophical and relecting on lessons that the series (and the podast) has taught us up until this point. We’re talking about love, community, how much we love all of you, and a WHOLE lot more. Plus, a VERY random ‘Hits from the Golden Egg’ segment, and smoe teasers for what’s coming in Season 11! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

In our second-to-last episode of the season, we’re diving back into ‘All The Young Dudes’ with chapters 44-48, rife with Sad Boy Sirius, cranky Remus, and the Dud of all Duds, Peter. We’re lamenting poor Remus’s first glimpse of the Shrieking Shack, drooling over Honeyduke’s descriptions, and gearing up for a special season finale (during which we’ll also let you know our exciting plans for Season 11)! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, on a brand new episode of “WAY Too On-The-Nose with The Fox and the Foxhound”, we’re talking about leadership in the form of the Ministers for Magic in the HP Universe. What makes a good political leader? What makes a terrible political leader? Are we ok (here’s a hint: no)? All this and more- join us within our dystopian hellscape won’t you?Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Sickness kept us away from you last week, and travel is keeping us away from you next week, but in the meantime let’s talk about some dudes! The Young Dudes of course. It’s time for chapters 41-43 of the seminal fanfiction ‘All the Young Dudes’ and we’re talking about borrowing money between friends, Kevin Bacon, and “uuuuh….that’ll work”. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

It’s time for another of Kev’s favorite chapters, and this time it’s “The House-Elf Liberation Front” from Book 4! We’re talking how this chapter shapes Hermione as a character, real-world activism, how the current…well, state? of the author changes our view of the House Elves, and port workers!Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week we’re deviating a bit from our usual topic rotation and focusing on the new Harry Potter worlds within Epic Universe at Universal Studios Florida! We’re talking about what’s been confirmed, what’s rumored, the new park’s interaction with the existing Wizarding World areas, and our park-related pipe dreams! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

It’s the end of term for the boys of ‘All the Young Dudes’ and it’s pranks galore. We’re talking about the dynamics of friend groups, unbreakable vows, the ‘Ted Talk Cadance’, and a Brief History of The Rude Boy by Kevin R. Wilson. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Kev has selected another of his favorite chapters and this week it’s Book 4’s “Priori Incantatem”! We’re heavy on the wandlore this episode, and there are not nearly as many innuendos as there could be so you should be very proud of us. Also, a bit of light quantum physics- just for kicks. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound
