SpeakBeasty: A Fantastic Beasts Podcast

Didn’t know a lot about fantastic beasts. Came here and wow I know a lot - Sassy Sasquatch

Can’t wait for the new movie. Loving the theorizing and sleuthing as we get closer. Love the Newtcase. Miss the old owl sounds for owl post.

what are the different criteria for being awarded the different classes of the Order of Merlin? Why did Lockhart get awarded Third Class while Pettigrew got first? What do you have to do to get Second? Do you think that Snape was posthumously awarded the O.M. for his actions during the course of the books as a spy? Would Harry make sure that he was given some recognition for what he did behind the scenes? I want to see other Wizarding schools and locations like Brazil and Castelobruxo, Uganda and Uagadou, and Japan and Mahoutokoro shown off in the FB films. Or at least more background and general information on them. |~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~| "The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by any invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing... It is true, however, that those who have mastered Legilimency are able, under certain conditions, to delve into the minds of their victims and to interpret their findings correctly." -- Severus Snape |~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|~•~|

I was a big fan when this show first came out. Loved all the original hosts. Unfortunately I had to stop listening several years ago when all new hosts came in - their comments, talking over each other about nonsense, the laughter that blows my speakers out (editing), and especially the host Lizzie, I just cannot listen to. It’s upsetting to say. I’m leaving this review now because I listen to Mugglecast frequently and two of the hosts guested on the most recent episode. I was excited to listen and give this podcast a second chance. I can’t get over the awkwardness of some things certain hosts bring up that is besides the point of conversation that they think is funny, and the tone of their voice for a podcast is not pleasing. I’m sorry to have to leave this show for a second time… hopefully they improve in the future because I would love to hear what they have to say on the movies coming in the future, but it isn’t worth listening for them. It’s frustrating because I want to like it, but I’ll get my information and entertainment somewhere else.
