Please rise and remove your hats as we perform today's rendition of this podcast. Before we continue

my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series,

just a few quick announcements. First, just a little sentimental moment. Potterless is three years old now.

The podcast is walking and talking in full sentences and it's getting ready to go to preschool.

And I can't believe I've been doing this thing for three years. It has grown astronomically beyond my

wildest expectations, and I am so thankful for all of you listeners for supporting it in a way

that has turned it into my full-time job, which is absolutely bonkers. And I feel like I have

to pinch myself every morning when I realize that this is my job now. And this has always been my dream, is to do something comedic professionally. And you've made it happen. So thank you so much. I have some new big things coming up for the show soon. So I'm happy to announce those. Rather than rush them and lump them in with a three-year anniversary special, I will just say that there are new big things coming throughout the end of this year and

early into next year and I'm very excited to share all of those with you, but just thanks everyone

so freaking much. As far as live events, as previously mentioned, I will be a conjuration in

Atlanta, Georgia, November 15th through 17th, and I've a new exciting announcement for anyone

that lives in Houston. It's not 100% official yet, but it is a month away from today. So I want to give as much notice as possible with a little TBD on details might change. But right now, we are looking to do a live show in Houston, Texas on Thursday, November 21st. I will be sure to post about it all on social media and talk about it in the intros. but if you live in, you should clear that day for now, and I'll let you know when things are

confirmed and when you can get tickets and all of that. And finally, what would an intro be without welcoming our new patrons to the team?
