<title>Hokudai/Cast 53: Harry Potter, SSC, and Mt. Paliot's</title>
<link>http://hokudaicast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=314792#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hokudai/Cast 53 thanks the students from Fushiki High School in Toyama for visiting us. Latin was discussed, especially the Latin found in Harry Potter. Why? Knowing Latin helps us improve our English vocabulary.

Music today is by Seattle Standard Cafe and Mt. Paliot's. SSC's "One Ticket to You" is a lively rockin' number while Mt. Paliot's "Repeal the Licensing Laws" is a rollin' instrumental. Great title, though.
