Hey, it's me, Santa. I'm really tired because I did a whole bunch of work yesterday, and now I just

0:33.8

want to kick my feet up and relax. And you know what the best thing to do when I kick my feet up and relax is? It's to listen to another episode of this podcast. Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First off, happy holidays. Hope the holiday season has been kind to you. Happy New Year. Happy anything that you're celebrating. I hope you're having a good time. Hopefully you got some good presents. Got to spend quality time with the folks you love. Or just quality time chilling with yourself. Maybe you got a break from work. Whatever you're doing, I hope it's great. Speaking to things that are great, we have 2,023 live shows coming your way. Huge shout out to all the folks who came to the Australia and the New Zealand shows, especially when the announcements were on short notice. We are doing some shows in the U.S. Those are planned. And we've got Europe tour stuff in the works.

0:56.2

The one U.S. Those are planned.

1:11.5

And we've got Europe tour stuff in the works. The one U.S. show that is confirmed so far is in San Francisco, California. I've never performed in the Bay Area, which is wild. But on Thursday, February 23rd, I will be performing there. It will be half Potterillis, half the newest Olympian live show. You can get tickets right now at potterospodcast.com slash live.

1:09.3

I also should be doing a live show for the newest Olympian in Washington, D.C. in late February, early March, but we had to reschedule things because the venue I was going to perform that closed. So we've got to find a new one for around similar dates. Now, Europe tour stuff is in the works. I'm trying to make some European live shows happen over the course of March. So probably like the first or second week of March through the end of March, trying to see however many cities I can get interest from, however many venues I can perform in. If you know anyone in the realm of venue hiring, tour booking, anything like that, I'm looking for 200-ish seat venues. Please feel free to send an email to Potterless Podcast at gmail.com. Shout it to the folks who've already reached out. I'm trying to put together as much information I can so we can put together the best European tour possible. It's finally happening. Now, if it doesn't seem like attending a live show in person is in the cards for you, but you still want that live show experience of what

Potterless Live is like. You should go to the Potterless podcast YouTube channel where I've been
