The Sorting Hat Podcast

Katie and Michael are joined by animator and writer Leigh Lahav (Only Leigh) to discuss the big four (at least here in the US) of award ceremonies. Are they all part of the corporate system and therefore Slytherin or will the fairness of everyone eventually getting a shot if they play the politics lend them into the camp of Hufflepuff? Listen and find out.

Michael and Katie are joined by Michael Bilow (This is Dark Matters) to discuss the early directorial work of Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki: Castle in the Sky (1986), My Neighbor Totoro (1989), Kiki's Delivery Service (1990), and Princess Mononoke (1997) are all set to be sorted!

Everyone talks about the Presidential Cabinet, but of the nominated positions, what do those roles really entail? And - more importantly - which of them are Gryffindors? Is it the Secretary of Veteran Affairs? Even though you're a pencil-pusher as the Secretary of the Treasury, is the position doomed to be a Ravenclaw? Katie and Michael are joined by Billy Domineau (Family Guy) to sort these 22 positions out and even learn a thing or two about government... and Diva Cups...

Katie and Michael know very little about bastketball. Fortunately Franky Guttman knows a thing or two not only about the sport, but all the teams and their more recent history for the Pacific Division (which when making this list Michael didn't even realize the divisions hardly matter -- but, hey, that's an easy way to break things up right?). The Los Angeles Lakers have longstanding clout, but will that assure them a seat at the Gryffindor table? Are the Sacramento Kings surefire Hufflepuffs? You know you'll find out if you listen!

Katie and Michael are joined once again by Kellie Whisler, who not only is very knowledgeable about Pokemon (listen to #013), but also a registered veterinary technician and has some wisdom to impart regarding dogs. Are sheepdogs all destined to be Ravenclaws? Are corgis the Hufflepuffs of the herders? Does Kellie hate German Shepherds (spoilers: she doesn't)? Find out on The Sorting Hat Podcast!

Katie and Michael are joined by Franky Guttman of the This is Dark Matters podcast to discuss the Zodiac Killer's correspondence with various San Francisco newspapers and beyond. Are his claims of grandeur and mastery of murder going to be a surefire stamp for Slytherin or are his more playful postcards truly a Hufflepuff move?

See the letters were looked at here: http://zodiackiller.com/Letters.html

Katie and Michael are joined by Monica Vasandani (Smosh, UCB LA Maude) to discuss the men's hair. Is a high and tight a Slytherin but a man bun a Gryffindor? Is a bowl haircut doomed to be a Hufflepuff. Michael always just gets threes on the sides and a six on top. Is that a Ravenclaw?

Katie and Michael are joined by Kellie Whisler, or Poke Kellz as she is known on the YouTube channel she hosts about Pokémon trivia and battle strategy, as this week they're looking to sort some legendary groupings of Pokémon! Are Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres destined for Gryffindor? Are the golems Regice, Registeel and Regirock more Slytherins or Ravenclaws? Are the Swords of Justice a true trio or does Keldeo make them a quartet? Find out tons of lore and then some on this week's episode of The Sorting Hat!

In February of 2016, Michael was Juror 12 on a fairly crazy trial. Here are his fragmented recollections of it and Andrew is doing his damnedest to suss out all the craziness that Michael might have forgotten.

For a slightly more coherent story, albeit not a podcast, check out these two Super Beard Bros episodes and leave the comment #SortingHatPodcast to let Jirard and Alex know what's up! https://youtu.be/MWjMY8Kx0Ps https://youtu.be/OI8S-qXEnmw
