Hey, it's me, the spirit of birthdays. This episode is coming out on February 17th, which is

the birthday of arguably the greatest Michael of all time, who you might know for his basketball prowess. You're right. This is me, Mike Schumer. It is also Michael Jordan's birthday. That was the joke that I was going for there. If you didn't get it, you should listen to my basketball podcast horse. But it's also President's Day weekend. That's a whole big George Washington birthday thing. So birthday's all around. But, you know, what's the best way to celebrate a birthday? I think the best way to celebrate is by listening to this podcast. Before you continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. I'm going to keep a brief. But we've got some live shows coming up in the very, very, very near future. We have two shows in Denver coming up tomorrow. If you were listening to this on the day it comes out, we've got an early show and a late show where it's going to be half powderless, half the News Olympian. And then I have a show in Phoenix on the 20th. That's only the New Olympian. But if you want some Percy Jackson good times, you can go to that show. And then I've got two shows that are going to be half potterless, half the News Olympian in North Carolina in March, on March 9th in 10th in Raleigh and then in Charlotte. You can get tickets to all those shows at potterlesspodcast.com slash live. Other potterless things, as always, you can go to patreon.com slash potteryless, and for just four bucks a month you can get access to all of the patreon stuff that we ever posted for five years. That's incredible. And if you want to check out other stuff that I'm doing now on a more regular basis, I've been plowing through Percy Jackson content on my Percy Jackson podcast, The News Olympian, which has basically the same format as Potterless, been doing a whole bunch of stuff with the TV show.

I got to be a member of the press.

I got to go to the premiere.

I got to interview a bunch of people,

people who made the show, people who acted in the show. So many incredible things. It has been a wild, wild ride over at the New Slylylylympian, which you can listen to wherever you get your podcasts or on our website the news

Olympian.com

and if in general

you just want to keep

up to date

with what I'm doing,

I'm on social media

at Shub 17,

S-H-U-B-E-S. podcasts or on our website the news Olympian.com. And if in general you just want to keep up to

date with what I'm doing, I'm on social media at Shub 17, S-H-U-B-E-S-1-7 on Twitter and Instagram. I've got a website, Shubbs, s-C-H-U-B-D-S, which has info about all the stuff that I am up to. We're posting new episodes of meddling adults.

We did an episode with Dara O'Brien, who is an incredible comedian that I have been a fan of for quite some time.
