Host Mike Schubert is a 28-year-old man who has never read Harry Potter - making him the perfect host for this podcast about a 28-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 been calling Mike 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.
