The Witch Trials of JK Rowling, review: a podcast that promises to add more flames to the fire
The trailer for The Witch Trials of JK Rowling featured the author talking about the trans rights furore. Neat marketing trick! Anyone tuning in to the podcast expecting to hear her latest light-the-touchpaper views will have been left disappointed. There are seven episodes and two have been released today, in which the only direct mention of the transgender backlash is a brief montage of unnamed Rowling detractors calling her “disgusting” and “problematic”, and claiming that she is “literally putting trans lives at further risk”.
“Let’s face it,” says one, “Hermione would punch this woman in the face right now.”
The podcast sets about putting the backlash in context. Because, as a younger generation may not be aware and older generations may have forgotten, this is not Rowling’s first rodeo. Hysteria? Death threats? She’s been here before. The Harry Potter books provoked a moral panic when they first came out. Christian fundamentalists in the US claimed that they promoted witchcraft. From the early 1990s into the 2000s, parents tried to ban the books from school libraries, evangelists preached that she was in league with the Devil, and members of George W Bush’s White House administration reportedly objected to Rowling receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom because they believed she was promoting sorcery.
The Witch Trials of JK Rowling is presented by Megan Phelps-Roper, who knows a thing or two about this stuff. She spent the first 26 years of her life as a member of the notorious Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas – the people who picket funerals with signs saying “God Hates F--s” and “Thank God for dead soldiers”. Her theory is that the kind of “witch trial frenzy” currently attending Rowling occurs at times of political dislocation – when people feel anxious and insecure, one expert tells her, they are more likely to point fingers at others, just as they did in Salem.

So that’s why episode two does a lot of scene-setting about the 1990s: Phelps-Roper paints us a picture of a decade which was progressive in terms of gay rights but also gave us the Columbine High School massacre, the LA riots, and “the boom of a goth subculture”. Rowling barely figures in this episode, which is mostly concerned with a court case involving book-banning in Arkansas. Interesting enough, but come on: we’re here for the latest controversy, not a history lesson soundtracked by songs from Rent.
The first episode, though, is an interview with Rowling at her home. It goes over her life up to and including the release of the first Potter books, from obscurity to an unnerving level of fame. She talks about the death of her mother, her miscarriage, and the awful relationship with her ex-husband. There are claims here that we have not heard before. Rowling says that personal fears were the reason that she stayed so private in the early days of her fame, "not because I thought I was Salinger, not because I’m Greta Garbo”.
It is good to hear Rowling’s voice in our ears rather than through her tweets, which can often seem to carry a smirk. Phelps-Roper, meanwhile, speaks in that universal US podcaster voice, soothing and bland, as if talking you through your reiki healing treatment in a luxury spa.
If the future episodes touching on Rowling’s stance on women and trans rights are as cosy as this, however, then the podcast won’t be a piece of journalism so much as a platform for the author to expand on her previous comments. Phelps-Roper says at the outset that she spoke to people on both sides of the argument, who “vehemently disagreed on who was the witch and who was the mob lighting the fire”. On the evidence presented so far, the podcast is in Rowling’s camp.
