MuggleCast
''MuggleCast'' is a Harry Potter podcast that is hosted by Eric Scull, Andrew Sims, Micah Tannenbaum, and Laura Thompson. Sims came up with the idea for the podcast and pitched it to the founder of MuggleNet, Emerson Spartz, who originally thought it was a bad idea. It was the first MuggleNet podcast and was released on August 7, 2005, and was hosted by Ben Schoen, Sims, and Kevin Steck. After the release of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and before the announcement of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film) the hosts announced that they were ending the show and put out a finale episode on August 26, 2013. However, less than a month later, the hosts released another episode discussing the announcement of the aforementioned Fantastic Beasts series. A little over a year later, on the December 27, 2014 episode of the show, it was announced that the show would return to releasing regular episodes. The show was launched as part of MuggleNet but split from the site in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
