Swimmin' Brains

Chapter 34: The Department of Mysteries - We open with a rant. Time to dismantle the patriarchy... and also mind your business thanks very much.

Adam reveals his expertise in horse breeds. We spend a lot of time speculating on the policies of security at the Ministry and the (incredibly obvious) 6-2-4-4-2 code.

Honestly the Ministry of Magic does not make sense. There is also a fairly dark discussion on the properties of the veil and why it draws Harry and Luna towards it and scares Hermione.

Who has five initials? Must be Dumbledore.

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.
