Before we begin today's episode of Potterless, I have a very special announcement,

and that is that we're taking the show on the road. That is right. Potterless is going to be

live in concert. We're going to be the opening act for Join the Party at Join the Party Live. It's in New York City, June 9th. You can go to bit.ly slash join the party live for more information as well as tickets. But we're going to have a fun set opening up the show for them. We're going to have Kelly Beckman and Julia Shafini, who have been on past episodes discussing some Harry Potter canon material. It's going to be very fun. I'm very excited. And it's just a fun little multitude party. If you're not sure what multitude is, it is a production collective that Potterless is a part of. There are four podcasts on this collective. The other three being spirits, join the party and way station, all amazing

podcasts run by amazing people, most of which have been guests on potterless. So if you want to

see more information about those podcasts, and you need something to fill the gap between the two

weeks that potterless episodes release, you can go to multitude dot productions between the two weeks that Potterless episodes release,

you can go to Multitude Dot Productions and see some of those amazing podcasts. Speaking of awesome stuff, we have new patrons to welcome to the team. So huge shout to Gary James, Jess Eatwood, Marianne, Creepa, Risa Dingle, Laura Maggi, Aaron Anderson, Seven Bear, Sarah, Tricia D, Annie by, Samantha Miramontes, Haley, Stufflebein, Chelsea Marin, Alex Surrett, Anna Berg, Sierra Rouser, and Katia O'u, and an enormous shout-out to our newest producer-level patrons, Rosemary Dodge, Jill Boulay, Maria Liza, C. Kean, Maria Paudson, Jennifer Inglis, Ariel, Christina Emerson, Romina, Riva, Serenity, and Kumail Doc. They joined the ranks of Leanne, Vicky, Erin, Erica Calvin, Michael, Sadie, Jesse, Natalie, Deborah Clow, Alex, Rebecca, Frank Marchismo, Tori, Samantha, Juan, Sheila, Jenna, Kieran, Louise, Akansha, Sarah, Rebecca Abede, Caitlin, Lee, Ayanna, Benjamin, and Dave, who never get to the front of the line in a food establishment and go, ooh, ugh, ah, I don't know what to get. They always get to the front of the line and know exactly what they want to order. If you want to be like these awesome people and get access to cool bonus content, like bonus, episodes, directors, commentary, shirts, stickers, patron-only live streams, you can go to

Patreon.com slash potterless and pledge today. And finally, I also wanted to tell you guys about a fun

podcast called Teen Creeps. I really think you'll enjoy it if you like Potterless. So if you grew up

reading those dog-eared paperbacks with the neon cover art and ridiculous insane titles, whether

it's goosebumps or other books of that nature.

Team Creeps is the podcast for you. It's hosted by grown-up comedians, just like me, Kelly Nugent

and Lindsay K-Tai, who dive headfirst into the best, but also the worst of young adult

Pulp Fiction of the 80s and 90s. So people like R. L. Stein, Christopher Pike, Francine, Pascal, all of those

types of authors. It's basically like a book club that doubles as a sleepover, but they tackle

the important questions, such as, what should I do if my high school boyfriend is an ancient ghost?
