Potterless

On the 10th anniversary of Potterless’ first episode, I’m happy to announce #WizardOff, a charity live stream on Dec. 20, 2026 supporting Trans Lifeline. That author is causing harm to trans people across the globe, so let’s push back with some charitable fundraising that also serves as a way to counterprogram against the new show you shouldn’t watch and officially sunset Potterless. Make a donation at https://www.translifeline.org and fill out the form at https://www.potterlesspodcast.com to get tickets and access to the unaired episodes. The stream link will also serve as a replay link, and if you’re seeing this after it aired, our website has a link to donate and receive the replay and episodes. Thank you for an incredible decade, and let’s help out our trans folks in need as we WIZARD OFF.

Scubes was joined by literally Viktor Krum live on stage at LeakyCon Denver in October 2022 to deep dive on  Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and all the other magical schools in the Wizarding World!

Topics of this ep include: the far North, Vikings, phonetics, chicken-lizards, Despicable Me, Karkarov, diving, Titanic, Durmstrang Boy, Sweeney Todd, baguettes, godly parents, deleted scenes, Man of War, Finland, wormholes, tandem bikes, magical pets, love triangles, names, and more!
