    Plz read the story
    I like the show but I nearly have to skip the episodes when Sequoia picks the stories because y’all make comments and sidetrack after EVERY sentence. Most of the questions you present wouldn’t be necessary if you just listened to the story more cohesively. Plz rein it in some.
  • KOTLC/potterhead forever!

    I think I overdosed on this show.
    I discovered this this podcast about a year ago, became obsessed with it, and proceeded to listen to the ENTIRE back-catalog in about 2 months... then I consumed every episode that came out afterwards like a ravenous tiger who hasn't eaten anything in 7 1/2 months. Then a couple months ago I started the then newest episode and got that feeling you get when you've eaten too much cake, then after the next episode came out and I had listened to it I unfollowed the show and stopped listening. Now a few months later I am listening to a new episode while writing this review at 1:20 AM... yeah I think I'm still Caked Out on this show. 7/10 stars, I recommend you give the show a listen.

    This is way too much
    Listen, there needs to be a support group for people who cannot stop listening to this podcast. I’ve got way too much Kim and Sequoia in my ear over the last month. I am very worried about what’s going to happen to me when I get all caught up and can’t just listen every time I drive somewhere. The crazy thing is that I have never read a fanfiction before listening to this podcast. And even now I’ve only read one and probably won’t read any more because I have this podcast. I am very much a obsessed Harry Potter fan and I love the canon story. But now I’m addicted to this podcast. Thanks a lot.

    The Lovable "Two Hot Idiots"
    This podcast is so good that I'm able to forgive them for their sin of Dramione the ENTIRETY OF PRIDE MONTH!!! Also, because they both have said MANY times "I have no memories", so who knows if they even realized their crime or were just being gremlins. Lol! WOLFSTAR5EVER!!!! 🥳

    I love this podcast so much! When I found this, I was listening to four other Harry Potter podcasts, and I am currently ignoring them, and binge-listening to this one. I’ve listened to 45 episodes in one week, which is affecting my mental health in some way! The people in my family frequently ask me if I’m okay, because I laugh so hard I cry every time I listen. This is my favorite thing ever. I would probably die for this.
  • Rock That Scoober
    Bingeworthy
    So thankful I didn’t find this podcast until 2024 because I have a whole backlog of episodes to binge. This is the most addicting podcast I’ve ever listened to. Dramione forever and 10 points to went to America and came back hot.
  • lilybelll
    Cure to math hw
    I freaking love this podcast so much! It’s hilarious! It really makes doing my math hw so much more fun!
  • Trick the multiverse
    Listen to all of this right now a dare you!
    This Podcast is my favorite thing. I laughed til I cried and no longer remember what canon looks like, does the giant squid harbor a secret love for The Boy Who Lived? Are there more than 10 Wizards? Do they ever use magic?
  • Kassas Coo
    i’m broken
    this podcast has made me question reality and question the cannon. it’s really funny though ahahaHaHhaHAhA
  • Starixx124
    Confusing but lovely
    I have been listening to this pod for 4 years. It has watched me do a lot. But what confuses me without fail is, how do Sequoia and Kim managed to mind meld how easily??? Every time I Realisten to episodes there is at least one moment in each episode were the two manage to connect to each other in a spiritual way. I mean their brains literally become one and they say the exact same thing at the exact same time. Anyways seriously this is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever encountered and I will never stop listening.
  • TomasinoJ
    Love this.
    This so so funny, I love this.
  • overduefan
    Top notch banter
    when I need to laugh and relax, Sequoia and Kim are the voices I want to hear!
  • Peoplearecats
    I peed my pants
    I’m literally obsessed. Never have I laughed so much! That was old review. Listened recently and it was so funny I peed my pants!
  • Elisabeth Borden

    With skateboarding Dumbledore as my witness, I have never laughed this hard at a podcast. Please, do us a kindness and cover one of the bonkers Harry Potter/Percy Jackson crossover fics…
  • MMMargeau
    Yes!!
    This is the perfect podcast I’ve been looking for! I love fan fiction and hearing y’all talk about the crazy ones always makes me laugh. Good recommendations too!!
  • Ella_Loves_Cheesecake
    God-level ✨
    This podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed. When I’m sad you guys make me laugh until I cry. You guys make housework and adulting SO much more bearable. Also it would be literally so amazing if you guys would do ridiculously unhinged Percy Jackson fanfic 😂 and if you are seeing this and are on the fence about listening, just do it. I promise you will not regret it.
  • so adacgting
    That Ginny tramp
    I am I’m love with this podcast in literally every way, I listen to it religiously, and Sequoia please read Kim unhinged Percy Jackson fanfic with no context I am begging u
  • Allycat564
    love this
    When I am having a bad day you guys can make me laugh. When I am having a good dsy you guys can make me cry. Love this podcast so much.
  • hedgehog_baker
    Favorite Podcast
    Kim and Sequoia are my favorite people to hang out with, which is what it feels like I’m doing when I’m listening to this podcast. It’s goofy and fun and light and it helps me get through my day. When I’m caught up I just scroll down, randomly stop the episode list, and listen again to whatever episode my finger landed on because they’re all so good. Thank you for making this podcast, I love that I get to listen!

  • lillaclavenders
    *high pitched scream!!*
    I am bewitched body and soul, with this podcast. It is perfection. Listen to it right now. It will fill your life with joy, and potentially make you piss your pants. My one comment is that this podcast should be weekly instead of biweekly, I would make time for it!
  • 5ships
    LOVING The Energy!
    This show gets me through all of my long drives. People at the stop lights must think I’m bonkers because of how hard I laugh! I’m obsessed with this show! Everyone must listen. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know. If you’re looking for a good pick-me-up in the morning, listen to these gals! They’re better than coffee!
  • Chifundu
    This is a podcast
    This. Podcast. Has. Everything. Gay ships. Non-binary icon Blaise Zabini. Squid content that makes everyone (especially Sequoia) uncomfortable. Banter. Love for the 12 year old fanfiction writers we all were. Colin (only sometimes and always with much protesting from Kim and Sequoia). Whatever the heck Kim’s Voldy voice is. I love it all and that’s not just the psychic damage i took from Harry and Mione’s horcrux hunt talking. probably. Anyway listen to it, you’ll be glad you did!
  • hsbdbdhshbwbs
    IT HURTS SO GOOD
    Every time I listen to 45. Luna’s Hobbie, there is a 3 week period where that is the only way I can think of James and lily’s relationship. I need more.
  • Yankeesgirlc21
    So much fun!
    I love listening to Sequoia and Kim. I wasn’t much into reading fanfics but I heard Sequoia on another podcast and decided to give this podcast a try and I am super glad I did. I love hearing the hosts read and react to these crazy stories. This is my favorite podcast to listen to lately. Would recommend to any Harry Potter fan!
  • YASSSSREVIEWTIME
    I am literally obsessed.
    First of all, I NEVER listen to podcasts. Like ever. Second of all, Harry Potter is my life. This podcast literally makes me die of laughter and i have to hide when i listen to this so my family doesn’t think i am weird for laughing so hard. You guys find the weirdest and best fan fiction ever. I wake up in the morning just so i could listen to this. You guys literally give me life. Thank you so much for producing this wonderful podcast. Because of you guys, whenever i hear the name Ginny, I scream. And now, I trust nobody whose name is Bronwen in fear that they are my deceased mother even though my mom is alive. I couldn’t live without this show. Thank you so much. Ok bye i guess.
  • kid, age 10
    You are the best!🤯🤯🤯
    You are the best. you inspired me to write fanfiction and I love your podcast. Thank you so much!🥹🥹🥹
  • Sassafras Witch
    ❤️ Best Pod Rec Ever ❤️
    Came here from Potterless and immediately began shipping myself with Fanatical Fics. I have been listening to episode after episode whenever I have free time since I discovered it a couple weeks back. I'm addicted... I also really hope Zach gets his coffee and isn't fired by her ladyship (Golf is one of my favorites so far), and I have to say that I haven't ever thought so much about Hogwarts sex ed before listening to this show... Not even when my younger self wrote about Harry's son James becoming a teenage parent with my OC, Lavender and Dean's kid, Violet... 😅

    I am down in my room, laughing so hard to bang my head against my desk. This has done something to me. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad.
  • NotYourAverageEquestrian
    I’m laughing like I’ve never laughed before…
    Oh my gosh. This podcast may have been the best find I’ve ever found. After reading Harry Potter for the first time, I searched “Harry Potter podcasts” and this came up. I clicked on it and two months later, I can’t stop listening to it. Usually I’m not really a fan of this type of podcast but this is different. I literally count down the days until the next episode is launched. People stare at me when I start laughing uncontrollably. They think something is wrong with me.
  • Ayerae-
    I love this show 😂
    I started from the very first episode and am currently on episode 62. I LOOOOVVVVVEEEE it. The looks I get at stoplights for cackling alone in my car are worth it 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @toad.and.cake
    Death by laughter
    I’m dead! This podcast is the best. I laugh sooo hard every episode. I just started from the beginning and it’s been a delight!
  • Jillylulu
    I don’t have fancy words
    I came across this podcast as it was recommended on apple podcasts … Kim’s laugh gives me life! You both have amazing personalities and fantastic voices. I love your “bits” and witty banter. Never have I ever read fanfic in my life but now thats all I want to do! Thank you so much for bringing me humor and liveliness to my 12 hour night shifts! I have forced my husband to listen as well and when he isn't around I recap all the stories to him! You guys are amazing I am on episode 44 and counting. Thank you so much!
  • S. J. Falcon
    I have to thank you
    I owe you thanks because my family now thinks that i am more mentally damaged than i really am because i read it in the car with my headphones on and all they hear is me laugh-crying in the background. I love your podcast more than anything and i dread the day that i catch up. I also find that listening to this helps me forget about my senses going on the frits and things going horribly wrong. Highly recommend!

    Stole this podcast’s jokes to convince a man to marry me
    The first summer that I was long distance from my boyfriend, I would listen to this podcast, look up the stories, and FaceTime him while reading the stories and stealing all of Kim and Sequoia’s jokes and commentary Anyway now we’re getting married
  • b454

    Everything you could possibly want out of a Harry Potter fan fiction podcast…and more!!!!
  • departmentofmyisteries
    Yay Fan Fics!!
    I saw you guys at Leaky Con and heard fan fiction for the first time, and now I am hooked!! Thank you guys so much for creating such an amazing podcast and introducing me to a world of amazing stories.
  • Lisa Nardone
    Thank you!
    I had the chance to see their live show at LeakyCon! I enjoyed it so much and made sure to download multiple episodes for my flight back home. This review is really my way of saying thank you because the rare paring panel completely inspired me to start my own podcast based on rare pairs in fandoms! It's nice to feel excited about creating something and it is all because of this podcast! I’ve joined the patron and can’t wait to continue to listen! To the points mooooon! -Lisa Michelle (and now Rare Pairs Pod!)
  • jo42086
