“Honestly, I do not know why I listened to every episode of this podcast.
Mike can be funny and entertaining, but he does veer into obnoxiousness from time to time.
A good 2/3 of the guests haven’t read the books in a very long time and don’t have a good grasp on what’s going on most of the time. I think this is the worst flaw over all.
Mike just had terrible reading comprehension. Half the time he misses very obvious things (like the veil being a literal door to death and the room it’s in being the death room).
His dumbest moment, of which there are plenty, would be him unable to understand what the word “underfed” was. He called it “un-derf-ed” multiple times and looked it up. Twice. Neither of his guests corrected him either.
Simple things are often misremembered (characters’ ages) or simply forgotten, even if they happened in the chapter before.
For example, in book 3 he was excited about Ron and the Weasley’s visiting tombs with Bill in Egypt, only to then spend all of books 4-6 fussing that Bill was boring because he worked at a bank.
It’s just tedious.”
