MuggleCast returns January 14 with new episodes in which we continue to explore Order of the Phoenix! Until then, we present this episode of our other podcast What the Hype?! in which we look at what we're most looking forward to in pop culture in 2025!

And before looking ahead, we look back at the fandoms we adored in 2024, with the goal being to share the ones we haven't spoken about on the show. We were addicted to games like Balatro and WWE 2k24, and were grooving to music from Maggie Rogers. We also loved the Sonic film franchise and TV shows like Arcane and English Teacher.

2025 topics include the next Hunger Games spinoff Sunrise on the Reaping, Grand Theft Auto 6, Yellowjackets Season 3 , the Stranger Things finale, and so much more!

Thank you to everyone for joining What the Hype?! this year! Make sure to follow us in your favorite podcast app and on YouTube. We'd also deeply appreciate a review!
