Belated Binge: Discovering Urban Fantasy

Zac - Belated Binge

I’m Zac — a former radio host and lifelong sports fan discovering the magic of urban fantasy. On Belated Binge, I dive into the stories I nearly missed out on — from Harry Potter to The Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Kate Daniels, and beyond. Expect humor, deep-dive discussions, and crossover chaos as we explore theories, character arcs, and “What if?” scenarios across your favorite worlds. Whether it’s reimagining Sons of Anarchy as an urban fantasy or breaking down wizard duels, I don’t take myself

2022/07/21

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 6th chapter: Gilderoy Lockhart. In this chapter Ron gets a howler. We learn about mandrakes. We meet a couple new characters that will be important to the plot and we have our first defense against the dark arts lesson with the new professor who proves to be an egotistical douchebag and is clearly incompetent. We also shine a light (Lumos) on why Dumbledore let Lockhart teach at Hogwarts. We do some Divination

Dad Fight! Chamber of Secrets Ch 4

2022/06/23

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 4th chapter: At Flourish and Blotts. In this chapter Harry is transported to the wrong side of town - however much it defies logic - witnesses some shady Malfoy behavior, is nearly kidnapped, meets a total tool who he finds out will be teaching him, and has front row seats to a dad fight. I also shine a light (Lumos) on the Graingers (Hermione's parents, remember them?) and soooooo many questions about muggle parents in the

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' third chapter: The Burrow. In this chapter Harry is broken out of Cell Block 4, Prison Drive. In a flying car. Like you do.... Oh, and it's driven by children, across the country, into a muggle suburb. And nobody notices..... I also shine a light (lumos) on Fred & George Weasley, my theory on how much they like tinkering on muggle stuff with their dad and how that was the start of their joke shop. We do some divination

2022/06/09

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' second chapter: Dobby's Warning. This chapter is bonkers! We have the light-hearted topics of house-elf enslavement, child abuse, wizarding mail fraud and owl tampering that we balance with more serious topics like a fear of birds and falling desserts! I also shine a light (lumos) onto Dobby as a character, how we're introduced to him and some of the highlights of his growth throughout the series. We do some divination

I had a blast talking with these two about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's, or for them, Philosopher's Stone movie. Of course we couldn't stay within 1 film and there are spoilers everywhere, but after listening to this podcast, I'm sure you don't need to be a seer to know that was coming.
