Hey, it's me, your mechanic. I know that you brought your car into the shop because a little

check engine light was on, and I'm happy to let you know that we found the solution. You need to get your sound system going and queue up a bunch of episodes of this podcast.

Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. Hello, it's been a little bit. Let's talk about the pod. Let's talk about what's ahead. Let's talk about this episode as well. So as far as the podcast itself, we've got some live shows coming up through the end of the year that I'm very excited about.

Some of those shows are going to be half potterless, half the News Olympian shows. Some of them are just the New Olympian. So here's the shows for the end of the year. The ones that have potterless aspects in them are December 15th in Austin, Texas, and December 17th in San Antonio, Texas. I will then be in a bunch of cities doing just the New Salympian, which is my Percy Jackson podcast, if you're unfamiliar. But if you want to see those live shows, I'll be in D.C. on September 28th, Philadelphia, October 21st, New York City, October 22nd, Dallas, December 13th. Then we mentioned the 15th and the 17th for those half Teno, half Potterless shows in Austin and San Antonio. And then December 19th in Houston Houston for the New Olympians. So if you want to get tickets to all those shows, you can go to potterlesspodcast.com slash live, and you can get your tickets there. It will be very fun. It

will be very silly, and I'm very excited to bring those shows to you. Now, as far as this episode,

it is unique in a couple of different ways. First and foremost, there is a full video component for this episode up on the Potterless YouTube channel. You can go to YouTube.com slash at Symbol Potterless podcast, I believe, or if you just search Potterless, it'll show up. And if you search Potterless Atlanta, I'm sure the video I'm talking about will show up. As mentioned in the episode you're about to hear, I had a videographer, Seth, come through and video

the show that we ended up using in some social media promos and stuff like that. But Seth took a

bunch of footage, which was really cool. And I basically compiled all the usable footage that

featured behind the scenes things and stuff from the show as well. And it made like a 50-minute

video. It's kind of like a mini documentary behind-the-scenes film a potterless live show looks like. You'll get to see behind the scene stuff of me and Johnny getting ready for the show. You'll get to see us talking during intermission. And after the show, you'll get to see clips from the show and of the crowd and all these other fun things. It's super fun and super interesting. And it was really cool to see all of the wonderful footage that Seth got.

Now, the footage that Seth got also did help with this actual episode.

As you will hear after the intro song plays, we had a bit of audio difficulties in that the first half of the show, the first act, did not get recorded.

But because Seth was taking so many videos,

we do have some audio clips from those videos that I have interspiced into me and Johnny

recapping the first act. So basically we got home right after the show, realized what went wrong.

And then we tried to from memory recap as much as we could from the first act. And because of
