Mischief Managed Podcast: Your recommended dose of Harry Potter nonsense

The whole 9 3/4 yards!

We welcome back our dear Matt from The Lockhart! The weather was hot and we make sure that you know. Next it's a heavy hitting Meet Your Podcasters question that delves into what our patronus would be. There are many answers, most of them Laura's, that range from the deeply profound to the downright goofy. But of course, Craig just wants them all to fight. Our topic today is all about the magical world of sports! We talk magical sports (such as Quidditch and... uh... Quidditch?), but also how muggle sports could be improved by magic! Katie is confused by a childhood game, the importance of chasers is debated, and we come up with some evil ways to mess with the Olympics. We move on to a Quizengamot, a confunded casting, a ghostly underrated character, a lumpy Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that you'll want to put inside your body.

No spoilerz

A recipe for a great podcast: Take four pals, turn up the heat, add fans, liberally apply margaritas and watermelon, then bake for ten hours. Enjoy! The Mischief Managed squad starts off with some giggles and mispronunciations. What else is new? Our Meet Your Podcasters question is a twist on a listener suggestion that really has us GOING PLACES. Next it’s on to our non-spoiler review of The Cursed Child. The feelings are many and cover Ron's entire emotional spectrum. If you subscribe to our Patreon, you can check out our spoiler review in a week!!! #extortion Then we pick ourselves up and have a quiz. Next, we’ve got our first listener suggested Slytherin that is also our first hybrid, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that will have you reaching for a stiff drink.

Neville you glad?

Our fantastic co-creator Erin joins us once more! It’s entirely possible that we bribed her with the opportunity to talk about a certain special someone. After a super-quick intro, we begin with a listener suggestion for the Meet Your Podcasters. Which listener, you ask? Well, we ask the same thing. How mysterious! The question of the day is, “How would you have gotten past the dragon in the 1st Task of the Triwizard Tournament?” And one thing is for certain: Craig dies. Next, Erin teaches us all a thing or two about Neville Longbottom, and our hearts are touched. The cardigan-clad, toad-carrying HuffleDor is discussed thoroughly; as well as some interesting theorizing about Alternate Universes. WHO IS TREVOR? Then Craig skedaddles, but we press bravely on. We have a quiz, an underrated Hufflepuff, a magical Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that ruins friendships.

Our shadowy partner comes out of the shadows! We are joined by our co-creator Erin and boy is she mad! In our longest intro yet, we talk about Erin’s origin story, Pokemon Go, Trudeau, and The Lockhart’s new menu. Wooooooow, that’s a long intro. Next it’s on to a listener suggested Meet Your Podcasters where we get to the bottom of this Ilvermorny business. We are all super excited about our new houses and then we create some truly unfortunate hybrid names. We don’t apologize, but we probably should have! Our topic kicks off with Erin taking us to task for a certain adjective and we are so very guilty. But really, our topic is all about growing up with the books. It’s a thought-provoking look at how the books change with our experiences as we age. We all make strategic plans on how to introduce the books to our unborn children. Then of course, it’s back to nonsense! We have a quiz that breaks boundaries, a Recast that is super Sirius, a ye olde underrated character, a snarky Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is all about the agree-als....

PeTUNia in to this Podcast!

Ohhhh, it was a sweltering summer day in Toronto. Four wilting friends gathered in the non-air conditioned, non-comfort of our "studio" to talk about some Potter. We turn those frowns into upside-down frowns, and continue on our way! Let's talk about tattoos! Harry Potter tattoos! Would we want them? What would they be? AND WHERE? So many questions are finally answered by your faithful servants. For our topic, we discuss the complicated life of Petunia Dursley. Is she just a jerk? Or is she just a jerk with super fine legs? Only time, and us, will tell. Then it's a divine quiz, a reluctant recast, a haughty underrated character, a small Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that keeps it in the family. Also we fudged up!!! FINALLY.

The Gred and Forge Story

What's better than a Mischief Managed Podcast? A Mischief Managed Podcast with Jamie! First we say hello, because we were brought up to have manners. Then we start boasting about our trivia knowledge and greatly intimidate all other Toronto-based Potter trivia goers. Our Meet Your Podcasters question makes us choose which magical object to have in our muggle lives. We all have excellent answers because magical objects are cool. Then it's on to the best twins in the books! All things Fred and George are discussed: The Map! The OWLs! Sorting! And How to Stalk the Phelps Twins! (please don't actually stalk the Phelps Twins) Next we have a guest quiz, a silent Slytherin, an underrated muggle-lover, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is classically gross.

No work and All play!

We have our great Jamie back on the podcast! First up, we talk about... podcasts!! Particularly The Playcast, written and created by our own Devon Hyland (and Connor Thompson). Follow them at @PlaycastPod on twitter and on Facebook! After a few more shameless plugs, we continue on to a Meet Your Podcasters full of giggles! We tell the world what creature we would have liked to see in the Battle of Hogwarts. Kate's got feelings, Katie hates Craig, Jamie sings, and Laura crushes it. Our topic, The Cursed Child, is up next and we discuss format, expectations, controversy, and the Newfoundland Library system. No spoilers!! #keepthesecrets. After this, Jamie is done with us. We start a new segment called Recast (for now...) and end with a foul-mouthed Slytherin and a Marry/Boff/Kill that Erin would not approve of. Then, we gang up on Kate, and it's time to say goodbye!

A blast from the past! Literally recorded in the past! We start off with a fine how-do-you-do that touches on the importance of orphaned kittens with cute hats. Then it's on to the Meet Your Podcasters in which we FINALLY talk about our favourite books. We politely agree that they're all good. SPOILERZ. Now we move on to our main topic, which is all about parseltongue. What's up with parseltongue, we ask ourselves. Laura has a great idea for a talk show, Kate spits some ancient folklore, and no one does any research!! Next, of course, we quiz, we appreciate a venerable curmudgeon, we find a game playing Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is alright. shhhhhaaaaaiiiiiiaathtthhthtassssssss

Hello lightness, my old friend. We have ranted and raved and now it's time to laugh again. It's back to the basics with the original podcasters, so get ready for some common, predictable fun. It's a real Ho-hum Ha-ha. :) sorrynotsorry. In our Meet Your Podcasters segment, we answer the age old question: If you could possess one person, who would it be and why? Katie's takes an unfortunate downward turn and Kate may or may not have a hairy face. Now it's on to our main topic: Magical Paintings and Pictures. Highlights include: A clumsy tea analogy that Katie won't let go of, numerous Canadian commercial references, and more discussion of tits than usual. Ok, it's mostly about tits. This podcast feat. tits. NOW THAT WE'VE GOT YOUR ATTENTION... :) We move on to the first quiz segment that really gets to the point(s). We got a dramatic Slytherin, an adoring underrated character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that's surprisingly fine.

He ain't perfect

Kate's gone but Jamie remains! We kick it off with some serious feelings and a tribute to an excellent Potterhead. Next we find our way into a Meet Your Podcasters in which we discuss our fave magical powers. Laura likes Sailor Moon and Craig likes AniMorphs. Now on to our topic, where we give Dumbledore the truly Canadian treatment. We chastise him then immediately absolve him. But in a fun way, right? After we release our feelings, it's on to a quiz, a dapper Slytherin, an underrated captain, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that will make you put your kids to bed! Welcome to the episode of the many feelings.
