Vanessa, Matt, Casper & team - You have ruined me for all other Harry Potter podcasts. I tried to listen to others but keep coming back to Harry Potter and The Sacred Text because....you guys are gold. You make me think about things in a deeper way and help me reminise in such a meaningful...Read full review »

It’s a shame that Not Sorry Productions doesn’t live up the the intersectional feminist values they posture about and profit from. Silence is violence.

After listening to each episode, I feel a little bit better about life and challenged to be a better version of myself. I love rereading Harry Potter and listening to this podcast for new ideas & understandings!

I love the show, don’t get me wrong. But there is another review that someone left that I totally agree with. “My only complaint is that Matt and Vanessa together can get too dark and gloomy, feeding off each others darker inclinations.” I liked how Casper kept the mood light and fun. I’d love to...Read full review »

Longtime listener and patron here! This show is a balm in a painful world. Thank you for your insights, hopes, fears, wonder… a magical experience, and I’m so grateful.

I started off 2023 by attending a live show of this podcast, and then proceeded to get caught up. If I had a Time Machine, I’d go back to my 2016 self and tell her to start listening to this podcast. I really could’ve used their guidance and insights over the last several years. But better late...Read full review »

I’ve listened to every single episode. I fell in love with this podcast right away because I don’t just love the books, I also love bringing meaning to texts and Vanessa, Casper and Matt are achieving this in a humorous yet educating way.

A fun way to reread a favorite series and to learn about contemplative practices. My only complaint is that Matt and Vanessa together can get too doom and gloomy, feeding off each others darker inclinations. It can get depressing and I’m here for fun and meaningful, not depressing! Nothing wrong...Read full review »

For how much they bash the creator of these books, it’s wild how they are choosing to still engage with them at all. Doesn’t matter your opinion on the author as a listener, it seems very problematic that the hosts personally seem to have many issues with Rowling but are still creating content...Read full review »

Meh
Mugglecast is better try it
iluvmugglecastandharrypotter via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/03/23
If you are interested in Harry Potter and/or the practice of treating texts as though they are sacred, this podcast is for you! I have been listening to this podcast for years, and I have listened to every episode at least once, if not two or three times each. It just keeps getting better. The...Read full review »

Vanessa, Casper, Matt and various lovely guests have carried me through so many points of my life over the past 4 years I’ve been a listener. They are thoughtful, funny, engaging, so clever, and inspirational. Dip in for a random listen, or power through all 12 (and counting) seasons, you will...Read full review »
TheDebola via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/23
I’ve listened to the entirety of the first 7 books in two weeks which tells you how much I love this content - the idea of treating literature as sacred is so needed and beautiful. I’ll miss Casper but I’ve started to listen to The Real Question too and can’t wait to enter the Matt episodes.
Lala-pixie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/16/23
Wenn du den Podcast noch nicht kennst, möchte ich ihn dir hiermit empfehlen. Einzige Voraussetzung: Du solltest English können und mit den Harry Potter Büchern nicht auf Kriegsfuß stehen. Ich finde den Blick des Podcasts auf diese Texte wunderbar und hochspannend. Es entstehen philosophische...Read full review »

I wish I could rate you infinite stars. This podcast has saved and changed my life so many times in the past 4 years!! Casper, Vanessa, Matt, AJ, Ariana and every one else who works on this podcast are absolutely amazing and make this a one of a kind experience every episode. I love you all so...Read full review »
kisabella007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/23
I love this podcast and listening to it during my commute. Of course I love all things Harry Potter, but this podcast goes beyond Harry Potter. If you think about it it’s not truly about Harry Potter, it is a podcast about meaning-making. They go over a theme in every episode and use the Harry...Read full review »

This podcast has blown my mind for many years now. I've been re-reading the books (and lately, mostly listening to the audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry on a loop) for at least 20 years, and this podcast has taken my understanding of the books AND LIFE IN GENERAL to a much more meaningful...Read full review »

Just about my favorite podcast ever. They have such valuable insights into life and Harry Potter. This is the perfect before work or after work podcast.
Britt1135 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/23
Five stars for modeling to your listeners the value and practice of deep, rigorous contemplation. I listen less for the Harry Potter of it all and more for the pleasure of hearing good-hearted people develop their capacity, as well as mine, to make meaning, embrace truth, and become more...Read full review »
theenoah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/23
This is one of my favorite podcasts and it truly helps me think about how to live a kinder and more connected life. It provides solace during difficult times, thoughtfulness when facing confusing questions, and some good laughs along the way. It is always my #1 podcast recommendation.

This podcast has really good messages and I love it 🙂
darth retxed via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/26/23
I don’t typically write reviews but felt motivated to write one regarding your podcast. I love Harry Potter and I generally enjoy listening to your podcasts. You have helped me see deeper meaning and interpretations of the text that I had never seen. For that, I am grateful. However, bringing...Read full review »

I sincerely hope Collette can join the pod again in future episodes. Her thoughts were a lovely addition to what Matt and Vanessa bring each week and I would love to hear more from her!
sciencebaby via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/23
This podcast holds space for both intellectual, spiritual and emotional responses to the HP text. This podcast finds fun for the dedicated HP fan, but also a space for anyone spiritual (even those non-believers out there!). As in all good spiritual interpretation, they use the text as a starting...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast, as it teaches its listeners to examine the texts they love so dearly through an educational and critical lens. I find the topics the hosts cover so interesting, and truly enjoy how open ended and extensive their discussions are. The only reason I gave this...Read full review »

I have been listening to HPST since 2017 and my life has been enriched by the thoughtful conversations between Vanessa, Casper, and Matt, and all their guests over the years. I also took the online course offered by Vanessa for books 3-7! I am very grateful for the opportunity this podcast has...Read full review »

Such a great podcast, helps me see the books in a new light and is incredibly entertaining. Must listen for any true potter heads
Idon'tlikesharingmyname via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/08/23
HPST is an amazing podcast. I started listening to it not a log time ago but I’ve all ready decided that I LOVE it It dives deep into chapters of the Harry Potter books and talks about more than just what happens in a chapter. I don’t know what I would do with out it. From the potter lover who...Read full review »

I’ve been bingeing this podcast for months, and I’m finally caught up. I was unsure about the religious / sacred aspect of this at first, as someone who is very much not religious, but the sacred practices are my favorite part. I often think about the theme or lessons explored throughout my day...Read full review »

The Harry Potter series are so good and this podcast was so much fun and the ideas that they had we’re just like this is so true this like this did happened here.

HPST came as a recommendation from a friend as something to listen to as I started becoming a runner. This was in 2019 and I have been HOOKED ever since. Harry Potter has always been a HUGE part of my life and HPST was literally the perfect way to incorporate it into my adult life. Discovering...Read full review »

My review was because I called out Vanessa, in her ability to understand and apply rigor vs exegesis. I challenged her understanding of both rigor and theology, then boom my review was gone. Rigor is showing a precise and accurate solution to the problem being assessed. Being precise and accurate...Read full review »

Every single episode encourages me to introspect on my relationship with the chosen theme, evolve my understanding of how it...Read full review »

Harry Potter, and the Sacred Text is the podcast that got me into Podcasts. It brought my obsession with Harry Potter, my love for deep conversations, and passion for spiritual growth together in one beautiful place. 💕💕💕
Stubbazubba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
No, really - I recommend this podcast to everyone, solicited or not! I binged the first few seasons and look forward every week to the next chapter. Insightful, intellectual, comical at times, thought-provoking, mindful, fun, engaging, and comforting…The guided reading practices the hosts lead us...Read full review »

I am a senior in college about to graduate and I started listening to HPST as a high school senior! In that time this podcast has helped me grow so much and has truly (I hope) helped shaped the kind of woman I am turning out to be. The thought provoking conversations which challenged me to think...Read full review »
