Jarring live sequences really hurt this book

As a big fan of this podcast, I was quite excited to hear that they were writing a book and that there would be an audiobook version. I immediately placed a pre-order for the book and downloaded it immediately. If you are a fan of the podcast - you will know that a lot of the interest from that is the riffing between Karen and Georgia, something that they have tried to recreate somewhat in the 'in conclusion' sections of some chapters but this somewhat falls flat as they are trying to go for a more 'professional' sound.
Which is why the sudden and seemingly random switches to a live reading of the chapter for no apparent reason off-putting. If you are going to go to the effort of having a polished product that loses some of the appeal of the original product because it doesn't have the bantery back and forth bits - why include a couple chapters read live? It doesn't even make sense for the chapter to be read live, the audience interaction is completely unnecessary and makes it harder to understand. They aren't even together for the live read chapters so it is extra weird and unnecessary.

I have the physical copy of this book, and I always loved the world building things that J.K did with this series. Now this book is even better with an excellent narration as well as the Quidditch World Cup commentary that is included. However, if you aren't a giant Harry Potter fan this may be a bit disappointing for you because you can access this commentary elsewhere on Pottermore. It is nice to have it all accessible here and it plays automatically rather than clicking around on the website - just keep that in mind when you are choosing to buy it. I recommend it for any big fan of Harry Potter! #Audible1
