However I do have a real life effect of SPHEW to report.<\/p>\n<p>I produce the\u00a0Methods of Rationality Podcast. For the most part it&#8217;s a solo project, but after receiving a few requests I&#8217;ve gotten comfortable enough with it that I&#8217;ve decided to integrate other voices as long as it doesn&#8217;t require much additional work from me. Meaning &#8211; just send me the audio file of you reading the lines and I&#8217;ll incorporate it if I can. I didn&#8217;t really expect much response from this approach, and for the most part I didn&#8217;t get one. Seems no one is really interested in doing Gregory Goyle&#8217;s lines. :)<\/p>\n<p>With a notable exception. The girls of SPHEW. I received a complete reading of all of Daphne&#8217;s lines before I even announced I was willing to take other voices. It was one of the primary motivators for overturning my previous policy and saying I would accept others. Since then I also received all Tracey&#8217;s and the start of Susan&#8217;s with a commitment of a full reading. I&#8217;m still at least two months away from the first appearance of any of the SPHEW witches, and probably a full year away from their eventual official SPHEW adventures.<\/p>\n<p>I believe SPHEW has indeed promoted heroism among witches in the real world. Regardless of what feminist themes may have been explored, it&#8217;s my opinion that SPHEW has had a positive real-world effect. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was\u00a0originally\u00a0posted at Less Wrong in one of the HPMoR discussion threads, almost exactly one year ago.
