Burnout: The Boggart in the Wardrobe (Book 3, Chapter 7)

Burnout: The Boggart in the Wardrobe (Book 3, Chapter 7)

Vanessa and Matt are joined by special guest Jackson Bird this week, as they explore the theme of Burnout in Chapter Seven of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! This week they discuss the etymology of burnout, Snape's villain origin story, and the Boggart as an exercise in teamwork. Throughout the episode we consider the question: what resources can we draw upon to mitigate burnout?


Thank you to Amy for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 8, Flight of the Fat Lady, through the theme of Respect.
