Valentine's Day is right around the corner and maybe you're trying to think of some cute date ideas where you could also maybe save a buck or two. Well, I've got an idea for you. Why don't you just tell your loved one to come on over to your place? You can light some candles, set the mood, and have a nice romantic evening, just sitting and listening to an episode of this podcast. Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First and foremost, the Europe tour is happening. The prophecy is fulfilled. I've got dates pretty much set in stone for the most part. I'm in the process of sending deposits and making things 100% official. But as long as everything goes according to plan, these should be the dates. And you can always confirm things if you go to potterlesspodcast.com slash live when the ticket sales are live, that's when it's 100% legit. So hopefully that will be happening soon. I'm doing

Potterless live. I'm doing the News Olympian live as well. Sometimes it'll be just one podcast as a show, and then I'll be there on back-to-back nights. Sometimes it'll be a combo show where one act is the New Selempian and one act is potterless. And some nights, it's double bill. You got a TNO show. and then later you got a potterill show.

You can come to both.

You can come to one.

I'm trying to make as many shows

as I can have happened,

and this is what the tour routing is. Giano show, and then later, you got a potterill show. You can come to both. You can come to one.

I'm trying to make as many shows as I can have happened, and this is what the tour routing is looking like. Dublin on March 7th, London, March 9th and March 10th. Amsterdam, March 13th and March 14th. Copenhagen, two shows in the same night, March 19th. Oslo, two shows in the same night, March 21st, Helsinki on March 29th and 30th, Berlin on April 2nd, and Munich on April 4th. The Germany dates are currently the most question-marky. The other ones, I'm pretty set in those happening, but again, things aren't 100% set in stone, so don't necessarily quote me on it, but just like earmarkmark it if you're considering it. And if you follow Potterless on social media, we're at Potterless Potterless pod on Twitter and at Potterless Podcast on Instagram. I will, of course, post as many updates as I can. And I might even post something on the feed here once things are 100% official. But that's what we're looking at. I tried to go to as many cities I could in the time that we will be there. I just looked at Potterless download numbers and gave preference to cities where I have the most downloads. So I was just trying to make as many people happy as possible. I hope that you're able to come through. I understand if you're not able to, if I'm not in a city or country near you, I would love to return to Europe and do another tour where I go to places I wasn't able to hit this time around. But I tried to do my best. I tried to spread the love and I tried to go to the places where the most Potterless listeners live. So that's what we've got going on. I'm very excited to make it happen and just follow us on social media and check the website, potterlessbockest.com slash live. For when things are official. Now outside of Europe, us shows if you live in california i will be coming your way in february we've got a show in san diego on february 20th that's going to be a half potterless half the new sulympian show we've got a two shows one night situation in los angeles on february 21st where there's an eight o'clock the new sulympian show and a 10 o'clock potter of the show. And then on February 23rd, I there's an 8 o'clock the News Olympian show and a 10 o'clock Potterless show.

And then on February 23rd, I'll be in San Francisco doing a half Potterless, half the News Olympian show. If you want tickets to that, you can also go to potterlesspodcast.com slash live, especially for the LA show. You might want to go quickly because tickets are selling quick and the venue isn't huge, but you do get a discount if you buy tickets at both shows, so that's super fun.

Now what's going on in this episode in particular? This is a

live show that we did in June of 2022 in Chicago with Eric Skull of Mugglecast. Such a fun show. Absolutely

fantastic. We did also stream the show, but something went wrong with the stream where the first 30 minutes or so of
