The Fox and the Foxhound: Love, Marriage, and Harry Potter

We've missed our lil' Marauders way too much, so it's high time we return to the Wizarding World of the 1970s and the monolith fanfiction that is ‘All the Young Dudes'. Believe us when we say, these three chapters were a DOOZY of a read. While we would love to justify the length of this episode by saying these chapters simply lead to that much discussion, there are in fact many tangents (so out of character for us). Reminder: we will be back with new episodes on June 10th! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week we're doing something a little different and making one GIANT Golden Egg which contains aaalll our favorite character/scene/relationship headcanon songs. We've got submissions from Paul Simon to Ghost to (somehow) Randy Travis.

Kev has selected another favorite chapter and this time he's dipping his toes into darker waters with Book 7's “The Lost Diadem”. We're feeling revolutionary, celebrating the (let's face it) sometimes difficult Augusta Longbottom, and highlighting Harry finally learning that teamwork makes the dream work. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

After a week off, we're back with our favorite lil' Gryffindors as we discuss chapters 61-63 of ‘All the Young Dudes'! The Marauders are messing with everyone's circadian rhythms, we're thinking about Ted Lasso, and inventing a new Star Wars droid named C3PU. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, we're taking a stroll down the ol' Hypothetical Parkway and discussing some Wizarding World “What If?”s. What if the Longbottoms had been Voldemort's target after hearing the prophecy? What if the headmaster of Hogwarts was Ted Lasso? What if Kevin wasn't SO into country music? All this and more- join us!Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

It's time to touch base again with our favorite lil' Gryffindors as we return for the next three chapters of ‘All the Young Dudes'! The kids have truly become teenagers, we're (unsuccessfully) dreamcasting Ferox, and kindly requesting that Sirius stop mansplaining Quidditch to Marlene.

This week, Kev has chosen another of his fave chaps and we're revisiting Book 3's “The Dementor's Kiss”. Once we get past how to actually pronounce ‘dementor', we're reliving the quiet and the chaos of this particular series of events in Prisoner of Azkaban. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Anyone in the mood for a lil hodge-podge? We sure are!

This week, we're back with ‘All the Young Dudes' and things are getting REAL. The Wizarding World is leaning fascist, Remus is chain-smoking and head-butting with the best of them, and Sirius is charmingly mispronouncing the word cigarette. We're talking about adolescent rage, the hottest (and most relatable, swoon) Care of Magical Creatures teacher in history, and a surprising amount of 70's punk rock fashion. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're back with another of Kev's Fave Chaps! This time, we're revisiting Book 6's “Felix Felicis” wherein everyone is very jealous of everyone else and everyone walks on eggshells around Ron's Big Feelings. Plus: after-dark US vs UK slang, SPORTS, and telling fascists to f*ck off. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're back after an unexpected week off and making our cases for the #1 BEST character in the Harry Potter universe. While Amanda's pick will surprise no one, Kevin's might throw you for a loop. Plus- the characters we think get overlooked, who we'd want to actually hang out with for a day, and Nick Drake impressions!Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, it's back to ‘All The Young Dudes' and we're reflecting on Sirius as Ferris Bueller, Remus's mysterious and oddly prickly feelings about Dr. Fox, and why Kevin should never be a High School Commencement Speaker.Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're back after a week off and we're bringing you the next installment of Kev's Fave Chaps- Goblet of Fire's final chapter, “The Beginning”. We're dissecting the (let's face it) BLEAK landscape of the post-Cedric Hogwarts, taking cues from the original Antifa, Dumbledore, and taking a truly unhinged turn into David's Bridal TV jingles. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're switching things up a little bit this week and answering some burning questions from our Patreon members and Discord friends, and we're bringing along a very special guest- our Manager of Mischief and Casting Roles DM Extraordinaire Josh Bailey! We're talking about everything from french fries to which HP characters are most representative of their House...and then back to french fries. Seriously, there is entirely too much french fry-related discussion on this episode.Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, we're continuing our journey through ‘All The Young Dudes' and only covering two chapters this time because they are HEAVY. We're talking about Kevin's newly-created country ballad, navigating young Sirius's hurt feelings, and that cheeky Remus foreshadowing on the part of the author.Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We've returned to Kev's Fave Chaps and apparently we are also just calling it that permanently, and this week we're revisiting “The Ghoul In The Attic” from Deathly Hallows.

Oyez, oyez, oyez (yes, that's how you spell it)- court is now in very focused and not-at-all-tangential session as we conduct our very first debate. The topic is this: Dumbledore is a Good Guy- Yes or No?

Who better to spend the holidays with than our favorite four wittle Gryffindors? That's right, it's time for our first ‘All the Young Dudes' episode of Season 11!

We're BAAAAAAACK and Season 11 is coming hot out of the gate with a deep dive on the four Hogwarts founders and the houses they created- the best way (in our view) to lay the foundation for Season 11's  ongoing House Point competition among our listeners that we'll tell you all about. Plus: moors (for some reason), we confuse ourselves about the horcruxes, and Godric Gryffindor's BDE. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

For our Season 10 finale, we're waxing philosophical and relecting on lessons that the series (and the podast) has taught us up until this point. We're talking about love, community, how much we love all of you, and a WHOLE lot more. Plus, a VERY random ‘Hits from the Golden Egg' segment, and smoe teasers for what's coming in Season 11! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

In our second-to-last episode of the season, we're diving back into ‘All The Young Dudes' with chapters 44-48, rife with Sad Boy Sirius, cranky Remus, and the Dud of all Duds, Peter.
