Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First, if you live in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Grand Rapids, or Chicago, you should get ready to see me next week. We are kicking off the next leg of pot tour less, starting on the 15th in Pittsburgh, |
| 0:54.4 | making our way through those cities I just listed, plus some other ones later on in the year. But if you want to go get tickets and see if we're performing in a city near you, you can go to potterillist podcast.com slash live. We just did the New York show.

| 1:49.1 | Many of these child patients are orphaned or their parents cannot visit them because of COVID |
