Dearest Listeners,

How are you doing? It is good to see your face. Are you taller than you used to be?

Since The Chapter Titles Were So Good has moved “on”, this tumblog has become somewhat less relevant (though no less cherished). Therefore, a new thechaptertitlesweresogood.com has been constructed to be more welcoming to the archival listener. We thought you might like to know this. Do you? Well, regardless, you know it now.

And while we have your attention, if indeed we have it, you may be curious about what The Faculty and Staff of The Chapter Titles Were So Good has been up to since the podcast ended. If so, you may want to peruse at these YouTube channels.

For now, that is all.

Yours posthumously,

The Faculty and Staff of

Dearest Listeners,

As you will no doubt have gathered from the endless fireworks, champagne bottles, and atmosphere of general wistfulness that currently surrounds you, the year 2013 has drawn to a close. Some may see this as a time to reflect on fond memories; others, to regret a year irretrievably lost to the sands of time. For our part, we have worked ourselves into a tizzy contemplating the turn of the calendar’s page, and our agitation and confusion have begat our most whimsical scripted adventure yet. It came as a surprise to many, and in your festivities you may have missed its appearance, so let this post serve as a polite “re-blog” to draw your attention.

And there is more. Let this writ stand as a formal announcement that The Chapter Titles Were So Good shall return to its regular, weekly schedule beginning the first Sunday of the year–that is to say, January the Fifth. Our discussion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be transmitted in 38 weekly installments, and we forsee no interruptions, barring any unforeseen illnesses, disasters, holidays, attacks, scheduling conflicts, personal conflicts, decapitations, or any other various and sundry acts of God. But such circumstances are rare, and we foresee no disruptions. We merely ask, dear listener, that if any such issue should arise, please bear with us. 38 shows is, after all, a whole lot of fucking shows.

A struggle lies ahead for Harry, as he faces the capital-d Dark from within as well as without. We shall join him in his journey, and we hope that you will accompany us. Together we may yet distract one another from the darkness in our own thoughts, and when next you are about to wax indignant to your friends about the unfairness of your life, like an angst-ridden fifteen-year-old, perhaps you will be moved instead to share a kind recommendation for your favorite Harry Potter themed podcast, or even to visit our storefront in the iTunes directory and leave a brief but joyous review.

Onward to Book 5!

Regular Tom at Hogsmeade Station, October 2013.

Sincerely,

The Faculty and Staff of

Dearest Listeners,

Already we have drawn our discussion of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to a close, in both the figurative sense (of concluding it) and the literal (of actually physically closing the cover of the book and replacing on the shelf beside its fellows). And so before us now lies Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the series’ longest tome by a healthy margin.

Listener, steel yourself now, for dark news follows.

Do you recall the book’s release in 2003? It arrived after a long wait–-three interminable years since Goblet of Fire. You shall not have to wait three long years for our program’s return, but you will have to wait a little while. The fifth season of The Chapter Titles Were So Good will not arrive until the new year.

Just as Harry is left waiting on Privet Drive, desperate for news, while the Order assembles and begins to wage its campaign against Voldemort, so too must we leave you as we set the wheels of season five in motion. We ask in the mean time for your patience and your support.

Remember this well, dear listeners: no podcast can flourish without its listeners, and your kind word of mouth is all that keeps us afloat in these dark times. Consider sharing your favorite episode with a close ally, or letting the world know where you stand by leaving a review on our iTunes listing.

And so now we must leave you for longer than we have ever left you before. Pray do not be too cross with us, for it could not have been any other way. Keep a watchful eye on this website, or on our Twitter page, or indeed one eye on each. Our new season shall begin with the dawn of the new year, although you may well hear from us again earlier than you think. But that would be telling, dearest listeners…

With fond regards,

The Faculty and Staff of
The Chapter Titles Were So Good
