podcast – The Methods of Rationality Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Brilliant. You will laugh. You will want to cry. You will pump your fist in the air. FINALLY, a frighteningly intelligent Voldemort, a no-nonsense Harry, a believable Draco redemption story, and an uncompromising Hermione take center stage in an unforgettable epic tale. Perfect for long car rides.

I first read HPMOR manually after it was suggested to me by a coworker; however, every other time I’ve re-gone back to experience this story I’ve used this podcast. The voice acting is phenomenal and I love the supplemental music that accompanies the episodes. Beyond HPMOR; this podcast also has Metropolitan Man which is an amazing story in its own right. All this doesn’t even include the analysis episodes going over HPMOR, MM, and now worth a candle. These have all been very insightful and have had me very excited for their weekly releases. I guess what I’m trying to say is I truly love this channel and I’m so glad it exists and that I was able to find it.

In addition to being undoubtedly the greatest compendium of rationalist fiction of all time, this is also just an incredibly well-made podcast. Kudos!

Mash Artemis Fowl and Ender Wiggen into a single person and put them in hogwarts and that's HPMOR. Draco's transformation, Hermoine's heroinism, Quirell's intelligence, the humanist/rationalist lessons... this podcast is amazing.

I’ve been trying to push through the We Want MoR podcast hoping that the hosts would actually start to improve... they do not. They do not edit out the sound of swallowing their spit, which one host regularly does directly into the microphone, they do not know the original Harry Potter books very well and often get things flat out wrong and are insistent that they are right, for a harmless example, insisting that Sirius Black who was in Azkaban till book 3 had given Harry the invisibility cloak in book 1. They also do not read MoR for comprehension and regularly flat out misread the text, acknowledge they think it makes no sense the way they read it but insist that it was the intended reading, and not bothering to re-read what had confused them in the first place.
The host who is new to the series even over 40 chapters in who is aware that there are many mysteries to be solved... hasn’t been writing down and trying to figure out even what directions to look, they’ve just got to the point of I should be paranoid, but no clue what about.

In conclusion, if you finish MoR and want more... there are fanfiction stories based on it or continuing from it that are much more worth your time. I would give the We Want MoR podcast 0 stars for lack of effort if the option existed.
