Host Mike Schubert is a 30-year-old man who has never read Harry Potter - making him the perfect host for this podcast about a 30-year-old man who has never read Harry Potter! He started Potterless while working as a mechanical engineer full time, and thankfully, the podcast grew large enough where it became his full-time job in July 2019. People have called Schubert "an effortlessly comedic host" and "the Lee Jordan of the real world."

Mike Schubert is the most Gryffindor one can legally be, his Patronus is a fox, and if he could be any character from Harry Potter he would be a blast ended skrewt. When he's not reading Harry Potter or talking about Harry Potter, he's playing basketball, performing improv, spending time with his wife (who is the reason this podcast exists!), or sleeping through his alarms.

Mike's other podcasts include The Newest Olympian, a Percy Jackson podcast, Meddling Adults, a game show for charity, HORSE, a basketball podcast about hoops history and drama, and Modern Muckraker, a comedic investigative journalism podcast.
