Podcasts
MuggleCast
MuggleCast launched in August 2005 when podcasts were still up and coming.[10] Inspired by the passion within the Harry Potter community, MuggleNet staff members Andrew Sims, Ben Schoen, and Kevin Steck created a short podcast to discuss some of the recent Harry Potter news and the just-released Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Following Sims's departure from the site in summer 2011, MuggleCast separated from MuggleNet to become an independent podcast.[11] The hosts now discuss the Fantastic Beasts films, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks, and fandom news, along with continued discussion of the original Harry Potter series.
MuggleCast recorded what it announced would be its final regular episode on August 26, 2013.[12] However, on December 27, 2014, it was announced that they would be returning to regular episodes.[13] MuggleCast began posting weekly podcasts again in April 2017. It is currently hosted by Andrew Sims, Eric Scull, Micah Tannenbaum, and Laura Tee.[14] In September 2019, MuggleCast was featured in an article in The Oprah Magazine: "26 of the Best Book Podcasts to Listen to When You're Not Reading".[15]
