Hey, it's me. That home workout you keep meaning to do. I know that I'm not the most fun. I can be

tedious and tiresome, but something that could make the whole home workout experience more enjoyable is if while you're doing it, you put on an episode of this podcast. Before I continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First, I am very excited to announce that not only is the Potterless Merch store back in stock, not only do we have new Cantai Potter mugs, but also there are some items on sale. Until August 8th, there is a back in stock. Not only do we have new can't I potter mugs, but also there are some items

on sale. Until August 8th, there is a back to school sale coming. Even if you're not going back to school, you can have access to this back to school sale, but there's a whole bunch of stuff. We restocked a lot of the shirts that were out of stock. We've got the new mugs. There's the digital items, there's so many great things, and all of them are available to you, and some of them

are on sale at potterlesspodcast.com slash merch. Also, this is the first episode of potterless in August, meaning that it's donation time. Here at Potterless each month, we take a dollar for each member of our team over at patreon.com slash potterless, and we donate it to a different charity. At the time of recording, we have 951 patrons, meaning that we'll be giving

$951 to Change the Ref. So Change the Ref is a charity started by the parents of Joaquin Gwak

Oliver, someone who was lost in the Parkland shooting of 2018, and Change the Ref addresses

gun violence in the United States in a lot of different ways from urban art to nonviolent

creative confrontation to trying to reduce the

NRA's influence on lawmakers here in the United States. I found out about this charity and chosen

because they reached out to me to be a part of something they're doing tomorrow, August 4th,

called Gwackathon. It would have been Joaquin's 20th birthday, so they are doing 20 consecutive

hours of live streaming. They're getting a lot of different speakers and presentations in the mix. And it just seems like a great event, a great way to raise awareness. And Gunvillance is still a really big problem here. I like everything that Hawkeen's parents are doing here. They are truly dedicated to their cause and making sure that their son's legacy is one of change for the better. So if you want to learn more about this charity, you can go to change the ref.org. And if you search on Facebook, that's where they're hosting their Gwakathon live stream. Just search for Change the Ref or Gwackathon 2020. That donation is possible because of Patreon. And speaking of, we have new patrons to welcome to the team. So shout out to Caitlin Lowe, Evie, Wayne Joy, Katie Holman, Katie Scardino, Ren, Mackenzie Wolfram,

Sophia Lynch, Andy Ratcliffe, Caledon Corvinelli, John R. Blaker, Timo Belford, Jennifer Gernant, Zofi Zobo, Aeschling Burns, Carrie Holland, and Rebecca Wilson, a name correction for Alyssa Durling, shout to Merv 2001 and Jessica Scott, who upgraded their pledge, and a huge shout out to our new producer level patrons,

Alia L. Tarshobi and Jack Parr.
