Hey, it's me, your mailbox. I know that I can often get filled with a bunch of letters that you

don't know if they are important or if they're just spam. You don't want to go through them,

but sometimes you got to. Well, how about to make this filtering process more enjoyable? While you're going through these letters, you can listen to an episode of this podcast. Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First, this Thursday, June 10th at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, we are doing a digital live show. We are doing Wizard on Bachelor and

Paradise. It will be similar to the Bachelor live shows that we've posted on the feed here before.

But by following the format of Bachelor and Paradise, the drama is going to get turned up to

the next level. And our guest will be my wife, Kelly Schubert, who is a Bachelor Nation expert.

So it'll be a very fun time. Tickets are live right now at bit.ly slash Potterless 610. That's Potterless all lowercase and then the number is 610. So get tickets at bit.ly.ly slash potterless 610. And you don't necessarily have to watch it live if you are in a time zone where 7 p.m. Eastern time doesn't make sense. This ticket will give you access to

a video replay so you can watch it after the fact, or you could watch it live and then watch it after the fact as well, whatever you want. Again, that URL is bit.ly slash potterlist 610. And speaking of live shows, I am very excited to announce that pot tour list, T-O-U-R is happening. Yes, that's right. We're doing live shows again. I'm so thankful. We were supposed to do live shows all throughout the summer of 2020 and then 2020 happened. But now with the way trends are going and the safety precautions that the venues I will be performing at have, we feel safe enough to do some live shows in the United States in August. Again, this is with an asterisk of if things go wrong, the shows won't happen. But we feel if trends stay the way that they are, we can make some live shows happen. And I'm very excited to bring these to you. If you go to potterlesspodcast.com slash live, you can see information about where we will be going, where you can get tickets. There are links to all of the tickets. And it's got the dates, the times, all that good stuff. But if you live in or near New York, New York, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Columbus, Ohio, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or Salt Lake City, Utah, we've got shows coming to you. All those shows, aside from the Salt Lake One are going to be in August. The Salt Lake One is scheduled for the end of October. Tickets are on sale right now. I'm really trying to keep these shows as safe

as possible, and we will be working with the venues to ensure that that safety is there. All of these venues have safety precautions for COVID right now. They've got stuff on their website about their policies and what they're doing to keep it safe. So we're trying to make this as safe as we can, but I'm very excited that we can actually make this tour happen because the world tried to take pot-torialists away from us,

and I'm not going to let it happen.

The shows are going to be a lot of fun. It'll be the interactive fun things that we've done in the past for live shows. So brackets and reality TV type things and just putting our favorite characters into ridiculous situations. So again, if you want information and you want to get tickets, you can go to potterless podcast.com slash live.

And finally, it is donation time here at Potterless each month. We take a dollar for each member of our team over at patreon.com slash potterless and donate it to a different charity. At the time of recording, we have 660 patrons, meaning that we are giving $660 to PCRF, which is the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. I strive to ensure that the donations that I do here

are never politically charged. So no matter how you feel about the situation that is going on

between Israel and Palestine right now, I also encourage all of you to read up on the situation,

watch videos about it, do as much learning as you can. But no matter where you stand on the issue,

it's just a matter of fact that there are a lot of Palestinian children that are finding themselves in harm's way. They need our help. I looked up a bunch of different charities and PCRF had the highest ratings for helping children in Palestine in need. So if you want to learn more about what they are doing and the charitable efforts that they bring to these children, you can go to PCRF.net.
