Cast-

Name: Juan

Email: juan@spinnerscast.co.uk

Age: 17

Title: Show Producer | Show Editor | Site Manager

Bio: Juan has been here since the very beginning. From way back in 2006 when Kim, Meg and Juan sat down for the first time to discuss what their show was going to be about, to now where he has become a Show Producer, an editor and helps to manage the site.

I have grown ever since our first recording, and I truly am thankful for this wonderful experience. I have met such wonderful friends in this long and great journey that I cannot explain in just words. I do hope that all of you, the listeners, continue on with us and not only remain as listeners- but as always become a part of the show as our family. Love you all- Juan.

Title: Executive Producer

Bio: A Los Angeles native, Quinn recently transplanted himself to New York City. Having been with the show since 2007, Quinn took over as executive producer in 2008. Quinn is a proud member of the House of Gryffindor and his favorite book in the series is Half Blood Prince. When he’s not recording or working, Quinn loves watching movies and television, reading (of course) and hanging out with his friends at an awesome wizard rock show.

Name: Sophie Bradburn

Age: 20

Title: Show Host | Grammar freak

Bio: I have been a huge (read “obsessive”) fan of the books since I was first given Sorcerer’s Stone one year for Christmas. Since then, I have always pre-ordered each book as soon as I could, and once the book was released, picked it up from the bookstore and devoured it within a few hours.

However, I didn’t actually discover the fandom until shortly before the release of the final book, when I discovered the fan sites, podcasts, and of course, Wizard Rock, where my two greatest loves- Music and HP- combine.  (I was actually told about Wrock as I was standing in line to pick up the final book, and couldn’t believe that I had never heard of it before.)

I have been listening to Spinner’s Cast since late 2007, and am now proud to be a member of the SPC crew, where I correct any and all grammatical errors around the site, which I actually find fun, being a bit of a language/grammar geek.   : )

Name: AJ Barnett

Email: aj@spinnerscast.co.uk

Age: 16

Title: Show Host | Random Graphics

Bio: AJ is the newbie to the Spinners Cast team. He joined the cast in February of 2010 and made his debut on Episode 65. Not only is AJ the new kid on the show, he is also the youngest; coming in at only sixteen years old.

AJ joined the fandom after the midnight release of Order of the Phoenix. Brought in by the magical atmosphere of his local boarders, AJ sought people like those he had met on the internet. The first website he found was MuggleNet.com, where he eventually found the world of Harry Potter fanfiction. Reading, Writing and Critiquing various pieces, AJ made many internet friends.

Early in 2009, AJ was hired by the “Fastest Growing Harry Potter Fansite” Accio-Potter.com. He recorded several episodes of their two podcasts before finding his way to SpinnersCast. If you’re brave enough to talk to him outside the podcast, feel free to do so.

Name: Kelly

Title: Show Host

Bio: Coming Soon!

Crew-

Name: Aaron Mace

Age: 17

Title: First Honored Sergeant

Bio: I am a musical, artsy, geek….and that’s me in a nutshell, like it or leave it.

I started the books at Goblet of Fire right before OotP came out and fell in love. But I didn’t really find the fandom until OotP came out and have been part of a handful of HP Sites, when most failed I started my own podcast (Not SPC). I joined the SpinnersCast crew as a website helper back when Kim was in charge. I’d do little things around the site Kim and anyone else asked me to do. After a while, the show evolved and Kim left which left Juan, Quinn, and me. I was then dubbed with the duty of managing the entire website.  I love it so much, which I guess is what makes me a geek =\

Name: Nicole

Age: 16

Title: Promoter/Contributer

Bio: Nicole’s passion for Harry Potter can be traced back to her days as a first grader, falling asleep each night to the stories of a boy wizard and his two best
friends.  Her Harry Potter experiences now though, have now changed drastically compared to those from many years ago, in that she does not imagine
herself getting that owl-sent Hogwarts acceptance letter or learning to transfigure a pig as opposed to learning multiplication tables or playing Hermione
in the Harry Potter movies.  Nicole now stands as a proud Ravenclaw, and uses all the experiences Harry has given her to help better her person.

As of September 2009, Nicole will be a junior at some high school on Long Island, New York, where she lives with her parents (two of the most AMAZING
people in the world), three younger siblings, and dog.

Nicole first heard of Spinnerscast while at Portus 2008 in Dallas, Texas, and feels so extremely lucky to one year later become part of the Spinnerscast

crew!  Nicole thoroughly wishes to send her love to all who love Harry Potter and Spinnerscast and just being so freaking awesome in general!!!

Name: Zainab

Age: 19

Title: Graphic Designer

Bio: A London native with a Canadian upbringing, Zainab has recently finished her first year of English and Political Science at University of Toronto. In between frantic commutes, event coordinating, working and studying for law school she likes to spend her free time, such as it is, with her ipod and Spinnerscast.

Zainab has been a fan of the Potter series for close to ten years and often brings up Harry Potter analogies in meetings, the underground and other inappropriate places; much to the consternation of those around her.

You may ask yourself- why is a prospective Muslim law student graphic designing for SpinnersCast? Because a) she’s been with the show since it’s ancient roots (er…2007) and b) she’s also an avid free lance artist.

Like, really really- freelance.
