You’ll hear things you can never unhear

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve screamed, I’ve made unidentifiable noises. 100% recommend, 5 stars, no notes.
not-not-jessica

So funny- and really great voices.

I’ve listened to every episode an unhealthy amount, but every episode is just so fun and Kim and Sequoia are possibly my favourite podcast hosts ever. I could listen to Kim read the paper (although not while doing Cho’s voice). The guests are also all fantastic! I love all the friends of the pod, but Jessica is probably my favourite.

Would probably crash my car without it

This podcast is the only thing that keeps me awake when I’m driving home in the middle of the night from work. Although I have had to stop listening to it in public because people get concerned when I react. My little sister recently discovered fan fiction so now I have someone else to force to listen with me. Love your work❤️❤️

I wanna 4.75 but can’t

Right hear me out. I. Love. It. There are some small things I don’t absolutely love, but this podcast actually makes me laugh and that isn’t an easy feat. I would rec it if I had friends who like fanfics. I don’t so I’m reccing it to strangers. Bye.

AAAAAHHHHhhh!!!! YES!

From THAT broomstick episode I was hooked! I found this podcast during some stressful times to listen to something silly and light hearted and boy did it deliver! I now always listen to it when I need cheering up <3 thank you for creating something amazing, you both! p.s I was listening to the squid biology episode with Colin (we stan!!) while I was at work and giggled like a lunatic the whole time lol

Don’t Laugh and Drive

Do not listen to this podcast if you want to nearly crash your car while laughing your head off while listening. Such a blast and makes my trip to and from work so so much more enjoyable.
Nooooo not noooww

*Scream* Yes Warriors

This fic is just Insane. It’s amazing but entirely crazy. I love it. This is one of the best FanFiction’s you’ve read so far! Fight Dumbledore! Yessssss all these references to Warrior cats. Oh my god, the fandom that started my FanFiction addiction in 2011. 11 year old me needed this. What a flash back, I’m so happy and slightly crazed at this. -the first reviewer who made you feel old, but now there are actual 11 year olds listening to this.
go and listen now

It’s sooooooo Good

I listen to it as I study constantly and it makes me momentarily forget about everything and makes me so happy when I’m listening to it. It’s like having my friends around all the time. Y’all should go and listen to it.

Draco’s father will hear about this

Honestly Draco’s father should hear about this podcast because it is brilliant. Brought back all my fanfiction nostalgia and love the witty banter between the hosts. I hope they keep bringing us fanfiction gems for many more episodes!

The only podcast I don’t play out loud

I listen too a lot of wack podcasts and this is one of my tops ;). Without this podcast, I would never be exposed to this much variety of crack fan fic and gives me the love-hate emotions that you get in Drarry. I am writing this review instead of finishing my uni homework because this is important, thank you for contributing to my lack of sleep.

Looooove the podcast!

I binged all the eps and looooooove it! So funny cause I don’t have anytime to read fan Fics, (cause school). I’d love to see a Dumbledore/Grindelwald fic (it could be funny). Also thanks for making me look like a weirdo on the bus cause I accidentally laughed. From Australia 🇦🇺

Howdy from Australia

Love the podcast! Binged it over three work days and had to hide my laughter from my boss. Are y’all ever going to talk about ‘My Immortal’ or is it the taboo fic?
PkHoney

Stay in your box, Ginny!

You guys give me a reason to get through uni on Tuesday. Also do a Hagrid fic. Also please get drunk with me. That is all. Much love from Australia.

My Cheeks Hurt From Smiling All Day

I started listening a few days ago at the recommendation of someone on the internet. I am not disappointed. I was listening at work and would bust out laughing in the kitchen and everyone was like, “Are you okay?” Thanks so much for making me smiling for nine hours straight that my face hurts. Your laughs are music to my ear and your impressions are perfection. Sending love from Australia xx
Ehanusk

Tears of laughter. Every. Time.

My sister and I started listening to this together. Every single episode we’ve listened to so far leaves us laughing so much we cry. She doesn’t even like Harry Potter that much, but she loves these ridiculous fics. 😂💖👏
Legiolinde

Fantastical

This podcast is wonderful. Listening to it is like that meme of the guy eating ice cream with the people in the ice cream ad. They feel like friends even though you’re not there. Has taken me back years and years in memories about reading fanfic, love it!
Shopperish

Perfect

There exists a trifecta of Harry Potter awesomeness in the podcast world. 1. Potterless - watching someone be exposed to the OG Harry Potter story for the first time 2. Fanatical Fics - for a laugh a minute expansion of the Harry Potter world through Fanfic (and new canon) 3. Fangasm (formerly Potterotica) - for when PG fanfic just won’t do Thanks girls for your podcast. It’s amazing.
Narelle208

Wow!!

These girls know how to tell a story, I have never laughed so hard at a podcast.
I'm also not good at Nicknames

Ahhhhh

OKAY FIRST THINGS FIRST IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO BE THIS AMAZING. I MEAN SERIOUSLY- AHH It's a very good podcast that everyone should have in their life to make it better. I mean. Seriously. Just listen to the podcast and your life will be better for it.
Dork faces

hold please

BEAUTIFUL I love it, top quality every episode and some VERY cool gals. My non-potter loving partner also loved it so there is NO EXCUSE not to listen to this amazing and good and amazing podcast.
