Before we begin today's episode of Potterless, I first wanted to thank everyone that's left us

a rating and review on iTunes because we've hit 75 total reviews, which is awesome. These reviews, first off, are so sweet. You guys say the nicest things,

but second, they really do help more people find the podcast, which is great because it increases

our likelihood of coming up in searches, both on the podcasting app and just on Google and

stuff like that. So if you want to take the time just to go into the Apple Podcasts app, whether it's on your phone or on iTunes on your computer, even if you don't use them, you can just go into the app, search Potterless, leave it a review. You don't even have to type anything. You can just click the little five starstar thing. It really does help a lot and it helps more people find us.

money to the podcast and I put all of that money back into the podcast. There is no need to do so,

only if you feel like doing it, no pressure at all.

But there's some cool rewards that you can get, and shirts is one of the tiers. So it's not too late to get in on the shirt train. And hopefully you guys find some stuff over there that you like. If not, not a problem at all. But speaking of Patreon, we've got a lot of new patrons to thank. So first off, shout out to her newest patrons, Ashley McCrory, Neon Green Tiger,

Rita Fagan, Ashley McCrory,

neon green tiger, Rita Fagan, Johnny Frolikstein, 1159 to Midnight, previous guest, Charlotte Dow,

and guest on this episode, Eric Schneider. Also shout out to Harlan Haskins, Sean Jones,

and Lowe Downtown, who all upgraded their pledges into the shirt category, and huge shout out to Jesse Horgan and Maggie Zobazek, new producer level patrons, and the return of Vicky Garcia, who was a producer patron before, had to take a little break, but is back. So thank you to all of you guys. That is huge. You are such lovely, incredible people, and I'm very excited to use these pledges to help Potterless take the next
