Mysteries are shattered this week as we answer the age old questions: •do unicorns exist? •what is the difference between parody and satire? and •whats the go with mermaids? The answers may shock you

Page 65

*NSFW WARNING* Why does this page exist?! The boys are left traumatised after the most upsetting, sexually charged page of the book. Not suitable for work or general listening.

Apr 06, 202051 min

Page 64

Never mind corona virus, on page 64 Harry encounters far more menacing threats to his health and safety including tigers, bears, the Unabomber and a seedy older man in a wand shop

Mar 30, 202046 min

Page 63

The boys are in lockdown, so they dabble in the dark art of Skype to bring you the first ever remote-episode. Will Riordan's incompetence ruin this before it even begins? Only time will tell.

COVID-19 is not a vibe hey... Anyway Andrew has lost his mind this week and recorded a solo pod. It's better than nothing? Maybe? Please enjoy the soothing tones of a brain well and truly unravelling before your very eyes/ears. Stay safe out their potterfiles xx

PMP EXCLUSIVE: is a beloved harry potter character really patient X in the coronavirus pandemic?? And if so can you afford to miss our exclusive and not at all insensitive investigation of the matter?!?!!? And if not are you really in that much worse off of a position than you are now anyway??? Sounds like you'd have to be a crazy person to miss this pod!

Page 59

Yes the pod returns in 2020 with one of JKs most boring pages yet, but that doesn't stop Nathan from uncovering an insidious conspiracy at the heart of the music industry. Also Riordan brings some sassy candles to our attention and Andrew discusses Japanese Onsen etiquette. The PMP boys are back baby... and this time it's Sirius!

ALL HANDS ON THE POOP DECK: just when we thought it was finally smooth sailing to Diagon Alley we encounter some rather serious trouble on the high seas

Dec 02, 201934 min

Page 54

BIG YIKES! The boys find themselves in not one, but two sticky situations...and are the rumours true about rampant Potterphilia in Britain's ruling class?

Nov 25, 201951 min

Page 53

We've waited 53 pages but we finally got to meet the most anticipated character in the book, one Doris Crockford! But hold onto your robes, we also stumble upon the worst song maybe ever and the regrettable return of Cho-Cho-Cho changes.

Nov 18, 201942 min

Page 52

Harry and Hagrid end up at the Leaky Cauldron and who do the boys find there? Why it's former Western Australian R&B singer Selwyn, a foul owl and Ahmed Illdo of course!

Nov 11, 201941 min

Page 51

WE'VE FOUND IT: The worst page in Harry Potter! From the soaring highs of Episode 50 the guys come crashing down to earth with this, the most interminable page. The good news is that the pod is saved by the genius work of AI Rowling's and the a vow from one of the boys to pleasure a troll

Nov 04, 201947 min

Page 50

50th EPISODE SPOOKTACULAR: No-one asked us to, but we made it to 50 episodes! To mark the occasion, Andrew dabbles in the dark arts to develop an AI version of JK Rowling and we summon the ghosts of Nearly Headless Nick and of course, Ivan Milat.

Oct 28, 201943 min

Page 49

We're on the home straight hurtling towards our 50th episode spectacular!! So fittingly this week we talk about one wizard's race to escape the gang life and another (possible) wizard's disgusting fitness routine

Oct 22, 201938 min

Page 48

Even Sydney's stinky trains and Zuck's sucky poo apps couldn't keep us down as we ring in our ONE YEAR PODIVERSARY!! This week Riordan sends in another strange message from the great beyond and we talk strategy for robbing goblins

Oct 14, 201940 min

Page 47

This stupid book is draaaaaagging on BUT this week we make substantial headway with the development of our TV pilot "Perfectly Frank". We also weigh in on the debate between Greta Thunberg and that racist guy from Top Gear. Oh and you wanted another game of Eenie Meenie Hermoine Moe?? Done.

Oct 07, 201928 min

Page 46

We finally reached the end of chapter 4!!! But which prominent world leader took celebrations a bit too far with their incredibly offensive/ inappropriate costume?! And did Hagrid get expelled(iarmus) from Hogwarts?

Sep 30, 201943 min

Page 45

OUT OAF CONTROL: Hagrid goes on a kidnapping rampage and horribly maims an innocent child on page 45 of this children's novel. Meanwhile a rogue priest and his gang of exorcists actually make some cogent points. And are endangered animals stupid or just not magic enough?

Sep 23, 201941 min

Page 44

In this week's Harry Potter-themed podcast, Peter Fitzsimons is FURIOUS at the Queen Of England for bopping people on the noggin. And after two disastrous weeks Riordan tries to redeem himself with yet another questionable 'game'

Sep 16, 201935 min

Page 43

FIGHT FOR CHO-CHANGE: this week the PMP gang expose the crimes and malfeasance of several high profile figures, including: •The Harry Potter character responsible for the Hong Kong crisis •The Australian media personality rumoured to be harbouring the Dark Lord •The innocent person who recently annoyed Nathan by merely attempting to do her job

"WE'VE REACHED THE END OF OUR TETHER": Recording three pods in a row was a bad idea as this episode will quickly prove - but if you were someone that was even vaguely interested in good ideas you wouldn't be listening to this terrible podcast. In this punishing page 42, the boys investigate if Voldy is just an angry incel, reach new lows with a new game and dig through Andrew's notebook from his time as telemarketer. Just normal Harry Potter podcast stuff.

Sep 02, 201920 min

Page 41

This week we bravely tell the story of Lily Potter no-one else will dare go near, prove that prime numbers are fundamentally evil, and play a brand new game that hits new lows, even for us.

Aug 26, 201935 min

Page 40

PAGE 40 CANCELLED LIST: •The slave owls in the magical realm. •Riordan for his offensive literary revisionism. •Philosopher's Stone director Chris Columbus for his atrocities in the Americas. The boys encounter the most probbo page yet, and as expected we surgically pick it apart it with our trademark deftness and sensitivity.

Aug 19, 201938 min

Page 39

HARRY, YOU'RE A...(LINE PLEASE): Hagrid screws up the big reveal, and two worlds collide when the boys go on the hit singing-while-others-not-looking TV show The Voice to save a beloved character from some evil, racist witches

Aug 12, 201938 min

Page 38

CROSSING OVER WITH RUBEUS HAGRID: Is John Edwards a morally bankrupt scam artist? Or a wizard who walks among us? These are the big questions raised on page 38 of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.

FOURTH EPISODE CRAZIES: Against doctor's orders we recorded four pods in a row. Years from now, psychology students will study this ep to learn about the deterioration of the human brain, and literature students will study it to see how Sony product placements, a story about uploading adult material to a work server and an idiot boy wearing a jumper on his legs could be worked into an analysis of a single Harry Potter page.
