Mischief Managed Podcast: Your recommended dose of Harry Potter nonsense

Good morning. Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! There's a new Fantastic Beasts, Crimes of Grindelwald trailer from SDCC and we dive right in with an intro/Meet your Messrs crossover. We chat about what excites us the most, what it means for the series, and also those cat things! Then it's on to our topic where we contrast and compare the two reigning Ministers for Magic in the HP series: Fudge and Scrimgeour. We talk about etymology, governing styles, and sneaking around Comic Con. Then it's on to NOT a quizzle as Gryffindor is not represented, a Giant Cast Away, a Mad Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that requires supervision.

It is a hot and sweaty "two week old weather report" for this episode! Laura and Craig talk about Pottering up their new place and Kate tells us where she has been! Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we combine the HP universe with another fandom. Kate wants talking animals, Craig knows who he's gonna call, and Laura slays. Then it's on to our topic for the episode which is loosely based on moving but is mostly a collection of random shower thoughts. We touch on guillotines, ghost paperwork, chamberpots, and whale watching. Then it's on to a Shrunken Cast Away, a fun Uncle Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill with ... Houses? Have we run out of ideas?

Pod-Casting a Spell!

It's a low-key, low-attendance sort of episode this time around. Without Kate and Laura, Katie and Craig are forced to be friends. We chat about our newest faves and why we are so alone. Next it's our Meet your Messrs question where we try to answer what we would be doing in the fandom if we didn't podcast. Katie still likes podcasting and Craig likes his shoes. Then it is on to our topic which is all about our experience podcasting for these past few years. We touch on the power of spite, CBC radio, and that we wish we did more research. After that, it's on to a Sith Cast-Away, a Slytherin Francaise, and a few Would You Rather's that are all over the god-damned map.

Pride and Non-Prejudice

Happy Pride Month to you all! It's another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast with our lovely semi-guest, Jamie. We chat about Miniatures/Bigatures, where Palm Springs really is, and how much we listen to Stephen Fry's voice. Then we go on to a Meet your Messrs question where we get rid of an existing Hogwarts rule or create a new one. Jamie wants dogs, Kate casts a Protective charm, Craig wants magic everywhere, and Katie doesn't want to go to bed. Now we move on to our topic discussion about LGBTQ+ in the Harry Potter world. We talk about the context of Harry Potter when it was written vs our sensibilities today, gender in the Wizarding World, and opportunities for representation. Afterwards, it's on to a smooching Quiz, a many-peopled Cast Away, a short and sweet Slytherin, and a Polyjuiced Marry/Boff/Kill that really, really sucks.

Love, MMP

Fashionable and Furious

It's another episode! Hurray! We give the two week old weather report and the one week old birthday report. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we try to think of Harry Potter merch that we wish existed. Craig wants to disappear, Kate wants to be crushed and then disappear, Laura and Katie like original Ravenclaws. Next it's on to our topic: Fashion in Harry Potter. We talk about best and worst dressed, Yule Ball problems, Death Masks, and the Roaring Twenties. Then it's on to our Ultimate Scots quiz (we promise), a Blonde Slytherin, an Underrated Seamstress, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that'll make you shit your pants.

Low and Slow

Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed with a brand new guest, Maria! We begin by getting to know her Potter journey, some odd math and nightmares, then we move on to the world of fashion and culture (Craig's fave). Next we move on to our Meet your Messrs question that asks us to create our own Quidditch team. Laura has some word play, Craig is super gross, Katie is unimaginative, Kate wants to kill us all, and Maria gets granular. We then make it to our topic, which is all about Harry Potter games. We talk about sandwiches, video games, board games, card games, and games that have not yet come to pass. Then it's on to our penultimate Scottish Quick Quotes Quiz, a Masterful Cast-Away switcheroo, a Happy Hufflepuff switcheroo, an Underrated Constellation switcheroo, and a Mysterious Marry/Boff/Kill.

it's 100% about immigration

We begin with Russia, of course. Then we go into a deep dive on the Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery mobile game. Let's just say it takes a lot of energy. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question which asks us what muggle board game we would introduce to our common rooms. Then it's on to our Topic? I guess? We chat about immigration in the Wizarding world, refugees, and the Lion King. Next it's on to another Scots Quizzle, an guest-ish Underrated Character, a Mean Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is probably really good.

We got your brain scritches, babes!

Oh guys, I'm so tired. This humble dummy left it too long and I'm an exhausted idiot, so my usually delightful summary won't be up to snuff tonight. I know you will forgive me tacitly by watching the episode anyways! We chat about the mobile game release and horrible weather. The Meet your Messrs question is about where we would like to be Storm Stayed in the magical world. The topic is all about the best and worst fan theories we could find. We talk about a magical switcheroo that doesn't make much sense, Crookshanks' past, and who is a babe. Next it's on to a Quibble that I can't really remember right now (but I think it was Scottish), a super Cast Away, a Trekking Slytherin, and a classic Marry/Boff/Kill that is good, in theory. Thanks for 60 episodes, you cute pieces of joy.

Avocado Kedavra!

It's a rainy Easter day and the Messrs are ready to talk about Harry Potter, eventually. We make our way towards our Meat your Mates where we answer what we would teach wizards and witches about the muggle world. Laura doesn't want to do anything, Katie wants to think it through, Kate wants to inspire, and Craig hands out condoms. Next it's on to our topic: How the Millennial generation would have affected the Wizarding World. We chat about avocados, psychopaths, and craft butterbeer. Then it's on to our super Scots Quizzle, a Rosy Slytherin, a Cursed Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that really kicks into gear. That's a good joke.

On this episode of Mischief Managed Podcast, we begin with a call to action! Send us suggestions for Katie's new wifi name and we'll make a poll to choose between the best ones. In other news, THE FIRST TRAILER FOR CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD IS HERE! We all talk about our feelings in the intro/Meet your Messrs combo. Kate knows costumes, Katie likes spies, Craig likes beasts, and Laura likes Paris. What don't we like? You'll soon find out. Then it's on to our topic which is a character spotlight on Dolores Umbridge. We chat about her upbringing, why she's such an intriguing villan, and our best and worst Umbridge moments. Then it's on to a very Murray Cast Away, a devilish Slytherin, and a new take on Marry/Boff/Kill that we apply to the best and worst. It's all about dichotomies here, people. Night Night, Love MMP
