The Sorting Hat Podcast

Meet Michael Barryte and Reed Brice. Joined by their friend, Tiffany Katz, the three will embark on a journey of sight and sound. Of allegories and metaphors. Of Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors. They'll question the very fabric for which they are made as the very garments around them begin to fray as they themselves become a-frayed... in The Twilight Zone.

Reed and Michael don't know their way around comic books, let alone the finer minutia of Iron Man, fortunately comedian and writer for Screen Rant, Eric Zipper, does and together they'll be sorting from these two sheets of Iron Man suits through the ages. And guys: What the heck does S.K.I.N. stand for and what's with Iron Boy's lobster hands??

Michael and Reed are joined by comedian David Miller, who also happens to be a pastor's son, to talk about many of the most notable stories from the Bible. We're sorting The Gospels, Revelations, King Solomon, Moses, Esther, all those classics and more!

Michael is joined by Anna Brisbin (Brizzy Voices on YouTube) to discuss the Disney Renaissance. While many may thematically feel more Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, there are a few Ravenclaws and Slytherins lurking amongst Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King.

There are a slew of different types of bicycles. Michael has only ever ridden his childhood mountain bike and maybe a cruiser or two, while Reed thinks maybe they've handled a cruiser... once before it fell on them. Fortunately, Vernon Shaw (Dream Daddy, Hot Pepper Gaming, Scare to Care) is an avid cyclist and gonna lay down some knowledge on road bikes, single speeds and more, so let's switch gears and start sorting!

Michael is joined by guest co-host Ryan Finnerty when Jared Rosen (Riot Games, Dream Daddy: A Daddy Dating Simulator, Hot Pepper Gaming, etc) swings by to give a quick dip into the pond of apocrypha. We're talking lists of angels, different demon lords, geomancy and some strange book about Slavic vampires by an unknown author!

Things are heating up for Michael and Reed as Miles has brought an armload of different hot sauces to taste and sort. Are habeñero sauces all likely Hufflepuffs? Is sriracha the Gryffindor of sauces? Will Reed and Michael's mouths ever be the same?

[Editor's note: We record out of order, so that is why on this podcast Reed is referred to as Katie; make no mistake, they are Reed now.]

Sure Reed and Michael could sort classic board games like Sorry, Clue and Monopoly, but they'd much rather have Zan Alda back to sort some advanced tabletop stuff.

• Blood Rage
• Citadels
• Star Wars: Rebellion
• Fury of Dracula
• Dead of Winter
• Scythe
• Hanabi
• King of Tokyo
• Ticket to Ride
• Love Letter Premium
• Secret Hitler
