Hey everyone.  Believe it or not, Greg and I are both under the weather right now and if we would sit down to podcast tonight the result would be a raspy, nasal, and moany sounding episode.  So we are going to do you all a favor and not subject you to our ailments.

We won’t be able to podcast over the weekend- Saturday won’t work and Sunday is our (10th!!!) anniversary so we are hoping to do something special that involves just us two and not our children or (no offense) any of you!  But we hope to podcast sometime early next week.

The good news is that you won’t be totally HPProgs free over this weekend.  Actually that isn’t true.  You won’t be totally me-free.  Earlier this week Aziza from Portus recorded a Portus Preview Podcast with different members of some of the different Harry Potter Podcasts who will be at the Podcast Palooza at Portus and I was one of the podcasters who joined in.  I believe that she plans on releasing the episode sometime Saturday and we’ll be sure to link to it when it goes up.

Speaking of Portus, the main page of their website is down but if you go to any of the other pages (such as the one I linked to in the last paragraph), you can access the rest of the site.  Also, as we mentioned in the last podcast there is one last discount going on for Portus registrants.  Here is the info:

It’s May, and owls are flying all over the country dropping off those much desired tax refunds. To celebrate all the extra galleons and sickles being dropped at our doorsteps, we have decided to present you with one last discount before Portus arrives this July! From today through May 31st, enter the code TAXMAN when registering for Portus, and you will receive a 20% discount on full and day registrations. It’s the perfect time to give your friend or relative a gift registration for Portus! Act soon before the price freezes at $220.00 for a full registration!

Honestly, after recording the Portus Preview Podcast I am more excited than ever to go to Portus (we even made our hotel reservations- that is unprecedented for us, we usually wait till the last minute!!) and we hope you can join us.

In conclusion (yes I feel like I am making a speech), we hope to bring you Episode #80 of Harry Potter Prognostications some time in the beginning-middle of next week.  In the meantime, Keep On Prognosticating!

Hi Everyone!  This is just a heads up that as of now, we will not be releasing episode 77 this week.  Things are very busy around here and unfortunately there is no time to prepare, record, and edit the episode this week.

  We look forward to returning next week for our regularly scheduled episode, and we apologize for this.
