Potter And Daughter
In each episode Joel and Lily cover about 1/4 to 1/5 of a book, discussing what happened, why it happened and what lessons Lily is learning from the books as she reads them. It's part Cliff's Notes and part cute and instrospective conversation between a father and daughter who love the same books for the same (and sometimes totally different) reasons.
