Daree Allen is a professional voice actor and a genuinely great conversationalist. I really enjoyed speaking to her about everything from being yourself to her detailed voiceover 101 tips. Get Daree's Voiceover 101 Dos and Don'ts on comrom.co. Daree was really a delight to chat with and I hope to do it again. If you want more of the voiceover 101 or would like to hire Daree, check out her official voiceover site. You know I like to go deep sometimes. We started this episode talking about line dancing suddenly started talking about how getting comfortable with who you are is the secret to success.

We've made it easy for you, Pat Sponaugle and I (Hadas!) got together for a Game of Thrones recap chat to prepare for the final season. It's finally here! The last season of Game of Thrones is upon us. Literally, it starts tonight. Do you remember who's who? Who's alive and who's not so much? What open questions are left to answer? Pat and I get into it. If you feel lost, don't worry, I ask Pat so many questions you'll probably be a pro after listening. Check out comrom.co for a more textual cheat sheet. Pat writes about Game of Thrones for Watchers on The Wall and on his own site! He's also pretty active on the Twitters. You can find me, Hadas, right here on Common Room or on Instagram and Twitter as Hadsterific.

Welcome! If you've never listened to the Common Room podcast or visited our site, you're probably asking "What's Common Room?" I hear you, and I'm trying to figure that out myself.
Common Room is a place for the renaissance woman who loves pop culture and lifestyle equally. Where To Begin I won't be deleting the backlog or moving to another feed. So please check out some of our most downloaded Common Room podcast episodes and most read posts: Star Wars Rewatch- if you're the geeky type or into film, listen to some of my favorite episodes to record. Our Revenge of the Sith episode remains our most downloaded episode EVER! We Saved You a Seat! Who am I? I'm Hadas! With roots in Yemen, a birthplace in Israel, a family in Brooklyn, and product work in NYC. I love to learn, streamline, be silly, save our planet, look at turtles, and argue with you about Harry Potter. |

When Noma Dumezweni was cast as Hermione Granger in the stage play of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, many praised the casting choice. Fans around the world wondered if a black Hermione could possibly be canon. JK Rowling applauded the casting by saying "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever." But is this world capable of producing a black Hermione without ever commenting on her blackness? Is it capable of producing a main character of color with a rich story? My friends Mimi (Hugo Award nominee!) and Robyn (the famous Geek Girl Strong) suggested discussing race in the Potterverse for this Potterweek episode. They really opened my eyes and made me think. Listen in and let us know your thoughts. Find more of Common Room on iTunes, Spotify, social media as @comromco, and at our site, comrom.co!

A few months ago (read: over a year ago) I (Hadas) set out to do another tv show rematch with my Iggle pals. Rewatch Recap:We previously rewatched Roswell, the alien teenage romance drama from The WB. Then Freaks and Geeks, a very short-lived cult classic. Next up was Twin Peaks, which divided our hosts. Some were die-hards and others were apprehensive, or just down right angry at it. What's Next?The show we decided to watch and rewatch was Veronica Mars. On the panel, this time, were Cassidy, Kristy, Meghan. Check them out on their own blogs and Twitter accounts! Veronica Mars is a cult classic yet Kristy and I have never seen it before. We came into it with different ideas of what the show could be and we're both very pleasantly surprised. The show is more mature than it seems. It's well-executed plot wise and by its incredible and underrated cast. Quick Intro to Veronica Mars' Themes:
What Do You Love about Veronica Mars? -- The IGGPPC are great friends that created a friendly inclusive community of passionate people aka geeks.You can find a friend that is into what you're into. You can find people who are passionate about almost everything. My favorite "geek love?" Tea! Sign up to find your own pen pal or to join the community!
