Welcome to the very first episode of ProtegoCast, the official animal rights in the wizarding world exploration podcast from the first and only Wizarding World-inspired animal rights non-profit, the Protego Foundation.

In our introductory episode, you'll meet your hosts: Tylor Starr, Jordan Page, and Emma Pocock, and find out:

• Our Harry Potter stories (how we found J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, our connection to the Potter community)
• Our animal rights stories
• The goals of the Protego Foundation, and the aims of ProtegoCast - the similarities of real-world and wizarding world animal rights issues
• How speaking about magical creatures can help us understand more about being more compassionate toward animals in our world
• Each of our reasons for being on a show about animal rights and Harry Potter
• Which topic(s) we're most excited to take a deep-dive into

We're looking forward to discussing a range of wizarding world topics with a variety of special guests in future episodes: from why S.P.E.W. was both brilliant and problematic, to whether Newt Scamander was vegan - come back next week for more!
