Genious

I love this podcast so much. It’s so nice to remember this story, specially from someone who doesn’t know all that is going to happen. It’s kinda like reading the books for the first time all over again.

I love the discussions and theories, but man, I hate the episodes with Sidney Adams. They just laugh and make stupid noises every 2 seconds. So annoying. On the other hand the ones with Melissa and Amanda are the best so far.

Tks for saving quarantine, Mike

As a 23-year-old who had read Harry Potter books only as a child and recently decided to relive the experience from a different perspective, I can only thank Mike for this brilliant content. I didn’t even know about the podcast when I first started this “quarantine project” but it came just in time for book two. At this point, I’m listening to the Goblet of Fire episodes and reading the Order of the Phoenix. Absolutely loving it (but I do need to catch up hahaha)

Downloaded this app just to rate you because you deserve it, Schubs!!! Wizard on, from Brazil <3
