Hey, it's me, Mike Schubert, the host of Potter-Oless, and I'm still in Canada, so I'm going to be doing

Canadian-themed introductions while I'm here, because why not? So the first I want to say

is that my listenership in 2020 grew the most in Canada out of any country. We went up 63% in

listenership on Spotify. So thank you, Canada. I'm very appreciative of all of you for listening

to this podcast. Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series,

just a few quick announcements. If you're listening to this about the time it came out, it's mid-December, and, you know, Christmas is coming around. Hanukkah's already started. There are various holidays afoot, and maybe you need some presents to get. Well, why don't you get your loved one some potterless-themed gifts? You could get them some merchandise at potterilspodcast.com slash merch, we've got shirts, we've got hoodies, we've got posters, we've got pins, we've got a whole

bunch of stuff. Or maybe you want to gift someone patronage. You could gift someone a Patreon account at patreon.com slash potterless and then look at access to all the sweet bonus content and some other exclusive merchandise. There's so much good things that you can do. So if you're scrambling and you need some last-minute Christmas gifts, we've got you covered. There's a whole bunch of stuff. And speaking of people having you covered, there are people who are covering the costs to produce this show. And those are our patrons over at patreon.com slash potteros. And we have a whole bunch of new patrons to welcome to the team. So shout out to Fire Whiskey and Honey,

Rima Meta, Louisa Elmarova, Filo Green, someone that made their username Dumbledore Calrissian and someone else that made their username Yungldor. Shouted to Joe Sander, who upgraded to the

producer level status and an apology for not saying the producer level patron Wire Warrior

in a few recent episodes. Wire Warrior, of course, is a member of our illustrious list of producer-level patrons.
