Very good podcast

I love Rowling. It's good to hear things from her perspective. Thank you for making it.

just as sane a JKR is

This is an amazing look into this fabulous humans life. I've been in an abusive marriage too and my heart broke hearing her story but what a fantastic woman you are! I love hearing more of her life. She has given me inspiration my entire life since 1998. I had experienced a tremendous loss in my life and never thought I'd recover. Thank you for always inspiring me to be myself and standing up for what I believe in. Maybe she'll see this maybe she won't but if you do, I just want to say Thank You!
