Since its inception, HPST has explored a chapter from the Harry Potter series each episode, weaving in new themes, thoughtful discussion, and a dash of live audience participation. Over 14 seasons and 516 episodes as of September 16, 2025, the program has grown into a global community with an average of approximately 100,000 listeners per week and has even earned a spot on The Guardian's 50 best podcasts list for 2016. HPST is produced by Not Sorry Productions and features contributions from Matt Potts (Series 2) and Ariana Nedelman in production. The live shows blend storytelling, games, and interactive elements, often including live music to enrich the experience.
