Bill Nye the Minister of Magic Guy

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 1: The Other Minister - We are here, friends. BOOK 6! How did this happen? Magic 🤷‍♀️

We start this book off in the muggle world, like usual, but not with the Dursleys! The muggle Prime Minister meets with his least favorite (ours, too, Prime Minister, ours too...) wizard politician then he gets to meet a lion. We learn that Fudge has (FINALLY) been sacked and after post recording research (and asking the people who I knew would know), we have learned that Bill Nighy's name is pronounced the same way as our favorite Science Guy 😉 

Also happiest of birthdays to our lovely Patreon patron, MaryBeth!

Tara Corkery

Tara proposed the idea of Basic Snitches to her future co-host, Adam Bowers in 2018. Basic Snitches launched in May of 2019. In July of 2020, she guest starred on the (at the time) brand new podcast, Podcast in Death (a deep discussion on the In Death Series by JD Robb) and soon after was invited to join as a co-host. While Tara keeps busy with her love of hiking, pet sitting and performing and volunteering for local theaters, she is always looking forward to creating new content with deep discussion and analysis through the art of podcasting. Outside of her hobbies, she has been coaching Speech and Debate for 18 years and works in administration for a children's hospital.
