MuggleCast #137: Tripping Over Curtains: The Jim Dale Story
As promised, the latest episode of our Harry Potter podcast is here, featuring MuggleCast and Portus' interview with Jim Dale! As the narrator of the US and Canada Potter audiobooks, Jim is one of the most knowledgeable people in the Harry Potter industry. In the first part of our interview, he shares his views on the recently announced Deathly Hallows split, the process for recording the audiobooks, and MUCH more.- One of his sons is actually a movie helicopter operator who has worked on the Potter films.
- What is his favorite Potter character voice? Which one is the hardest - or as he puts it - the most annoying to do?
- He discusses how he prepares to record the Potter books: some water and a green apple anyone?
- How long does it take him? More like how long is he given! The answer may surprise you.
- Does he ever read the books for enjoyment and what is his relationship with J.K. Rowling?
- Just what does he think about the HP fandom?
To download, we recommend subscribing for free through either Apple iTunes or the ZUNE Marketplace. If you are already subscribed, just refresh your feed. You can also find full shownotes and alternate download links at the MuggleCast website.
Part 2 of the interview will be available very soon on Portus Previews. You may remember that last week, we first told you Jim will be appearing at Portus to give several talks. Enjoy!

hey guys i ahvent listened for like almost two months... will i be lost if i start again now?
I have to say, this was one of my favorite episodes. The interview was thought provoking and funny, and ultimately I think the lack of news items, extra discussion, etc. helped focus the episode on Jim Dale. I also thought that Micah, in particular, made an excellent interviewer. Bring on the interviews, guys! This episode rocks.
I think it's very sad that when school began, I stopped listening to mugglecast. I'm a bad mugglenet fan. =[
hi RedFawkes!!!! i noe wut u mean cuz u stopped tlking to me after skool started!!!! :

lol sirius_lee_G. Nothing really important happened, except that there was a live show, several delayed episodes, some more jokes, and an interview with Jim Dale, the narrator for U.S. and Canada's Harry Potter audiobooks. I re-listen to at least 4 episodes a day while doing work and such, you might try it to catch up and find it enjoyable. Cheers!
: ) : ) : ) = Happy Happy Happy
wow, jim dale's voice is really distinctive and calming to listen to. the interview seemed kinda awkward for the hosts tho?
Wow, the interview's great! Thanks so much for putting this interview up. Jim Dale is a wonderful narrator who made the books come alive for me long before the movies did. I appreciate it. :-)
I love how Jim Dale constantly refers to himself in the third person. Shaun thinks that is funny.
it was great!!! listened to it yesterday and i was totally engrossed in it....it was awesome!! I too think it is hilarious how he relates to himself in the third person....his voice is just amazing the interview is great...i think i'll listen to the second part!!! go mugglecast!!!!
