At the end of October, Lawrence, Kansas, art supply store and gallery, Wonder Fair, released two soundtracks for their store. Musician Jade Rose composed an album entitled The Sounds of Wonder Fair, Volume 1, and co-owner Paul DeGeorge and his brother Joe, along with musician Jon Linn, produced Sounds from the Haunted Bathroom. Site-specific soundtracks have been a thing before -- see also Light In The Attic's Japan Archival Series triple LP, Kankyo Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990, as well as RPM Records' Gypsy Creams & Ginger Nuts - Sounds That Swept The Supermarkets for but a couple -- but we've never had a chance to discuss this sort of thing on the show. We sat down with Jade and Paul at the Lawrence Public Library's Sound+Vision Studio the day after they played a release party for the recordings and discussed how everything came to be, which is why this is likely the best-sounding episode we've ever done.
On the 133rd episode of the podcast, meet Harry and the Potters. Joe and Paul DeGeorge are brothers with a shared love of Harry Potter. In 2002 they accidentally started a band and put together a bunch of songs about the magical franchise. Now, Harry and the Potters have toured multiple times, playing many all-ages shows at public libraries across the countries, and they have released four albums, their newest Lumos out now that draws its themes from the seventh Harry Potter book, The Deathly Hallows. They are known for spawning the wizard-rock genre in music and have also co-founded a charity organization The Harry Potter Alliance.

The Fandom Files is joined by Joe and Paul DeGeorge, the brother duo behind the wizard rock band Harry and the Potters! After over a decade of playing their Hogwarts-inspired hits, the duo are about to release Lumos, their first album in 13 years. They spoke with us about the heady early days of couch surfing and waiting for new Potter books, how they built the genre, and why they decided to finally record and release a new album of originals. Plus, they discuss what they do when they're not wearing their robes and how their lives changed since they were teenagers playing kids' birthday parties.

In Episode 32, “Nerds for Her,” Elizabeth and Flourish talk to Paul DeGeorge, half of Harry and the Potters and the creator of the #NerdsForHer, a campaign to get fandom excited about Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election. Topics discussed include the idea of “political fandom,” Hillary’s bad narrative, John Travolta and Emma Thompson in Primary Colors, and whether fanfiction can help foster enthusiasm for the only reasonable candidate. (Who is Hillary Clinton. Fansplaining endorses Hillary Clinton. Seriously.)
