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

2022/12/29

Why didn’t the Fantastic beasts movies really work? And how could they have been WAYYY BETTER?? That’s what today's bonus episode is all about! Welcome to Belated Binge: Harry Potter, the Harry Potter Podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too seriously. I can’t wait to get back into the flow of the Chamber of Secrets chapter episodes, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one as I try to save the fantastic beasts movie series with just 2 changes to each film.

My Guest Appearance on Content and Capable

Thanks for listening to Belated Binge the Harry Potter podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too seriously. I’m Zac, and you may have heard that I was recently asked to be a guest on another podcast called Content and Capable (https://linktr.ee/contentncapable). It was a really fun opportunity and my first time going onto a podcast that wasn’t 100% about Harry Potter. Of course it wasn’t a Potter free conversation, but I got to share a lot about myself, my journey, my experience with this

Have you ever thought about sorting the Avengers into Hogwarts houses? Would you rather have a magic wand or super powers? What Harry Potter character would you love to see in a Marvel movie? Welcome to belated binge, the Harry Potter podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too seriously. Which happens when you don’t read them until you’re a grown man! I’m Zac, the grown man, and those are just a few of the many questions I discussed with Taylor (Let's Talk: Marvel Fan Theories) and shared as

What if Lily had forgiven Snape after the final exchange we saw between them in Snape’s worst memory? I recently joined Fyrebyrd on the Dusty Caldron Podcast (https://dustycaldronpodcast.com/) to discuss the answer to that exact question. We theorize on different ways their lives could have played out as a result and as a bonus for you, I wanted to bring that conversation over here as well!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 15, Arogag discussion continues as I reveal my favorite foreshadow moments, give and take some house points, and call out what I thought was Riddikulus! Divination: “No, I’m sorry, there’s every chance the attacker might come back to finish these people off. . . .” Hagrid’s hint about the spiders was far easier to understand — the trouble was, there didn’t seem to be a single spider left in the castle to follow. “Sir,” said Malfoy loudly. “Sir, why

Dumbledore knew Hagrid had Arogag the Whole Time?

Belated Binge: Discovering Urban Fantasy ·

2022/11/29

In this episode, I’ll attempt to shed light on the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid and where Arogag falls into that. How would Dumbledore have treated Hagrid during his time at Hogwarts? Did Dumbledore know Arogag was in the Forbidden Forest? What about 50 years ago? I’ll also share a headcanon theory or perhaps borderline fan fiction about how Newt Scamander may or may not have been responsible for Hagrid having Arogag in the first place. If you enjoy my theory and this podcast and

Link to The Dusty Caldron Podcast website: https://dustycaldronpodcast.com/ Things get a bit hairy for Harry and Ron Weasley in this chapter, with WAY TOO MANY LEGS!

In this headcanon episode of Belated Binge, I wrap up the discussion from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 14, Cornelius Fudge by sharing my thoughts on the Expecto Plot-Chango question: What If Harry and Ron DIDN'T let Hermione go off to the library alone when Harry hears the monster? This is my attempt to save Hermione from a giant snake and it goes full on fan fiction! But I couldn't save Penelope Clearwater. Someone had to get petrified after all...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 14, Cornelius Fudge discussion continues as I reveal my favorite foreshadow moments, give and take some house points, and call out what I thought was Riddikulus! Divination: “Riddle might have got the wrong person,” said Hermione. “Maybe it was some other monster that was attacking people. . . .” “How many monsters d’you think this place can hold?” Ron asked dully. “We always knew Hagrid had been expelled,” said Harry miserably. “And the attacks

Heiry Potter?? Albus Dumbledore Theory

2022/11/15

I attempt to shed some light (Lumos) on a theory I've developed about why Dumbledore hasn't stopped the attacks and caught the Heir of Slytherin yet. Hint: it has to do with Harry Potter! And Snakes! And Voldemort! And how the Chamber of Secrets is being opened! And who Dumbledore thinks is opening it! And...... OK - listen to the episode.

2022/11/10

This week on Belated Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 14: Cornelius Fudge. In this chapter, Hermione is petrified, Hogwarts goes on lockdown, and worst of all QUIDDITCH IS CANCELLED! All this means Harry and Ron are breaking curfew. They use the invisibility cloak to visit Hagrid, hoping to ask him about the Chamber of Secrets and the monster from 50 years ago. Unfortunately for many people, they're interrupted and we see corruption and incompetence on many counts

After some shoutouts for listener responses, I share my theory on how Filtch would have been the one to pick up the diary. Which means in order for Harry to get it at some point, he

This week on Belated Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 13: The Very Secret Diary. In this chapter, someone (*cough Ginny cough*) tried to flush a book DOWN A TOILET! Which is not the disposal method I would have recommended. But as plot would have it, *they* chose a toilet in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. One she just happen to be hanging out in. All of this lead Harry to obtain Tom Riddle's diary, which was not what a certain red-headed first year was thrilled to see

In this chapter, the trio completes their "plan" to go under-cover using Polyjuice Potion by transforming into Slytherin students. From there they would have access to the world's biggest , Draco Malfoy. They would interrogate him and learn that he is the Heir of Slytherin and save the day! Of course,

This week on the Binge, I was joined by Ellen & Keighty, the hosts of For Fawkes' Sake podcast and we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 11: The Dueling Club. In this chapter, among many many other things, we get school sanctioned magic fight club! Lockhart continues to be useless, an appendix according to our guests. I rant about how the sequence of events following Draco whipping out his snake out in front of the class makes no sense for the reaction it gets and the plot. We

First in the classroom, but it pays off for the trio to get the potion book they need to launch their Polyjuice Plan into action. And then again following the quidditch match where Harry played dodge the crazy bludger until he broke his arm, but still caught the snitch.

This week on the Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 9th chapter: The Writing on the Wall. In this chapter Filtch is beside himself about Mrs. Norris who we find out is petrified and he blames Harry immediately as our trio was found at the scene of the crime by seemingly the entire school taking the wrong route to wherever any of them were supposed to be going. Lockhart is an idiot, Dumbledore shows amazing patience while still crushing Snape's dream of kicking Harry out of

In this chapter we get to party with ghosts!! She also promises to read and review my awful fan fiction, we talk Snape, Draco, Harry needing to say no to things, checking in on Ginny, why inviting your bully to your party is a bad idea, and floppy wand problems!

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 7th chapter: Mudbloods and Murmurs. In this chapter we get hints of obsession, stalking, some bribery, a heavy dose of blood status racism and perhaps a hint of budding courtship. It's a heavy-themed chapter for a kids book. We lighten (Lumos) the mood with a quidditch chat. We do some Divination foreshadowing, give/take House Points, and callout the parts of the chapter that are utterly Riddikulus!

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
