Get ready for something a little different this week. We talk about the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival that takes place in our hometown of Fredericton, New Brunswick (Canada.) I attend every year and Chris plays interviewer to get the goods on this brilliant event. You may hear more about the festival in the upcoming weeks so this is a good intro for anyone who has never heard of it.

We received some really great voicemails and feedback so that is why this week's episode is a touch longer than normal. But considering how much Chris and I like to talk, we take all the blame. This week's promo is the Downshiftme podcast and the hosts, Matt and AJ, have finally moved to Nova Scotia so all of us Canadians need to send them a great big welcome. Thanks to Tee Morris for making us our very first bumper. You rock!

Don't you just love summer movies? They are amusing and we figured it was about time we did another movie review. The fearless, cunning, and slightly insane, Captain Jack is back in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It wouldn't be summer without a Johnny Depp movie. The free AC didn't go amiss either.

WARNING: Argh! There be spoilers to be found after about the first ten minutes. But we give you plenty of warning before we get to those so please do not blame us for our spoilerific tendencies.

This week's promo is the Podculture podcast. Also, thanks to Yahoo! Podcasts for featuring us on their frontpage.

Well, it is looking like the second time is the charm for us this week. After a computer snafu, due to a loose nut behind the keyboard (Eliz), we lost version one. I am sure we did not leave anything out the second time around.

We get into more of the Harry Potter questions and have a fun debate on which characters we think might live and die in book seven. Not that we know, of course...  no, of course not.  Henk's opinions website on magic systems and more can be found here. Promo is by The Fanboy Smackdown Podcast. Also, our next book club selection will be Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.  

Next week, we will be discussing Pirates of the Caribbean II: Dead Man's Chest and we would like you to send in your movie reviews/opinions. Voicemail them to 206-202-4894, click on the handy-dandy Odeo botton on the right side panel, or email them to twogirlsandapodcast@gmail.com.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Chris is going to be visiting Michael & Evo's Wingin' It this week. It should be a lot of fun so make sure to check it out (estimated air date is July 18th or 19th.)

Sorry for the lateness of part two; when an offer to go see Pirates II comes your way, you just have to jump on it. Plus, theatre was much cooler than apartment.

So here is the continuation of our feedback from our Harry Potter episode, thanks to Florida Zack and other great people from the boards. Also, we play a promo for Karen from Kalifornia's new podcast, Bunkcast. Lots of fun so you should check it out (for an adult audience.)

As I'm sure you already know, we want your email, your voicemails, your mp3 clips of your wonderful questions. See what weird theories you can make Eliz come up with next. You know the drill. Email twogirlsandapodcast@gmail.com, call the vm line at 206-202-4894, or even the message board at twogirlsandapodcast.libsyn.com. Theme music is by BUDZ and they can be found at PodSafeAudio.com.

Thanks!

Poll

Book Club Poll: Harry Potter

What would you consider the Harry Potter series to be? They are kid books, written for kids, end of story. Everyone books, written for everyone to enjoy, no matter what age. Never read them, you people are nuts. Current Results

This week's book club meeting ran quite long, so here is part one of two. Basically, we discuss the book, debate a few finer points, get into questions and a little bit of trivia (thanks Debbie!) Promo is by Ian the Ranting Scotsman and it is very cool.

So we hope you don't mind the breaking up of the show. This way, we get to still include all of your the emails and feedback. Expect to see part two in a day or two.

As always, theme music, "Out Behind the Juke Joint", is by BUDZ and they can be found at PodSafeAudio.com. Leave us a voice mail at 206-202-4894 or send us an email at TwoGirlsAndAPodcast @ gmail.com or stop by the message board at twogirlsandapodcast.libsyn.com.

Sorry folks but our episode #17, which is a love fest of all things Harry Potter (just kidding!) is going to be a little late this week.  Both Chris and I have have been travelling and we somehow recorded twice (literally) the amount for one typical episode.  So, all factors considered, it has been a challenging week to get this puppy edited up. 

But never fear, we will have something for you tomorrow. 

In the meantime, please take a minute to vote in our brand spankin' new poll.  I'm sure you will all side with me, just wait.  If you have suggestions on future poll questions, please send them to twogirlsandapodcast@gmail.com.

Also, if you are a LiveJournal user and have been avoiding the whole subscription thing, you can now add twogirlspodcast to your friends list and you will be notified of new episodes/announcements as they happen.  Or as soon as the LJ aggregator picks them up.  Please let me know if you have any problems with it.  :D
