We had to say goodbye to our sweet fluffy little boy this morning. Harpo made it 13 years but cancer got him. We keep breaking down crying. He was such a cuddle bug and this morning couldn't move at all and just mewled. The emergency Vet let us be in the room when he went. His brother Chico is well.

Harpo Cat in July 2025 just days after his cancer diagnosis. The steroids kept him active and seemingly happy for another three months after we thought we were going to lose him on July 12.

Huh. Something about this seems new- but very familiar...

How about we all find out around October 17th, shall we? Seems like a good time to drop episode 5 on the channel. 😏

While we've been hard at work on the next scripts and recordings, we may have pieced together some cast announcement templates and photos that are a fun little Appalachian homage.

You won't mind us sharing some of your current cast again and some upcoming cast members, right?

Good. 🥰🐇

Hoping the antibiotics work fast so I can start recording my lines that are due at the end of this week.

Joel A.S. Butler @joelasbutler.bsky.social · 13d

I caught COVID back at the end of August (Still mask and vax but my sister was visiting and we ate out a lot). I tested clear Sept 8 but still can't hear out of my right ear and am congested and coughing. Went to urgent car Monday and got diagnosed with sinus infection and given antibiotics.

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Screenshot of a Variety article by Todd Spangler with a headline that reads "Audible's Harry Potter Series Expands cast with Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More"

Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart; Keira Knightley as Professor Umbridge; Iwan Rheon as Professor Lupin; Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange; Ambika Mod as Nymphadora Tonks; Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley; Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley; James McAvoy as Mad-Eye Moody; Gemma Whelan as Professor Sprout; and Matt Berry as Sir Cadogan.

Cush Jumbo OBE as the narrator, Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as The Patil Twins.
