About this episode
Solomon Schmidt, the 22-year-old author of A Pen to Change the World, the only complete biography of J.K.

They get into the Christian story hidden inside Harry Potter, the moral panic that branded it witchcraft, cancel culture and the cost of saying what you believe, and where a Christian and a secular classical liberal find common ground.
