in April 2017. It is currently hosted by Andrew Sims, Eric Scull, Micah Tannenbaum, and Laura Tee and is enjoyed by over 50,000 listeners a week. The show has interviewed many big names in Harry Potter, including David Heyman, David Yates, Oliver Phelps, Evanna Lynch, Warwick Davis, Arthur Bowen, Will Dunn, Patrick Doyle, Mary GrandPré, Jim Dale, and Arthur Parsons (LEGO Harry Potter). 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". Following Sims's departure from the site in summer 2011, MuggleCast separated from MuggleNet to become an independent podcast. The hosts now discuss the Fantastic Beasts films, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks, and fandom news, along with continued in-depth discussion of the original Harry Potter series. Potterversity Potterversity is an academic Harry Potter podcast dedicated to exploring the series and wider wizarding world from a critical perspective across a variety of fields. It is hosted by Katy McDaniel, a history professor at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio, and Emily Strand, an instructor of comparative religions at Mount Carmel College of Nursing in Columbus, Ohio. Each episode focuses on a different topic or approach and features guests who are researchers, teachers, scholars, or writers. First launched on August 14, 2017, as Reading, Writing, Rowling and originally hosted by McDaniel and John Granger, the podcast was rebranded on October 31, 2020. Part of this rebranding included a move away from discussion of J.K. Rowling's works set outside of the wizarding world and a conscious decision to focus only on the Harry Potter series and related media. SpeakBeasty On December 20, 2015, MuggleNet premiered SpeakBeasty, a podcast entirely dedicated to the Fantastic Beasts film series. In discussing this new era in the Wizarding World, SpeakBeasty brings back the theorizing and speculation that has been such a pivotal part of the fandom since the early days of Harry Potter. The show has seen many special guests over the years, including Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski), Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley), Poppy Corby-Tuech (Vinda Rosier), William Nadylam (Yusuf Kama), James Payton (Frank Longbottom), and Peyton Kennedy (Grey’s Anatomy, Everything Sucks). In 2016, SpeakBeasty hosted a live show at New York Comic Con and attended the premiere of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in New York City on November 10. The current roster of hosts
