Many of the hosts used to host another podcast called Smart Mouths, which is more "mature" than [=MuggleCast=] and they discuss a more widespread selection of topics, such as general news and politics.

While Andrew, Matt, and Elysa headed up Imprint, a podcast dedicated to the ''Twilight'' Series. The podcast tends to fall a bit on the Twihard side of the uberfan-uberhater spectrum, but still manages to sneak in a few moments of snark (the podcast even managed to score an interview with the rather publicity-shy Stephenie Meyers herself).

Andrew and Laura are now hosting another more "mature" show called [[http://millennialshow.com/ #Millennial]] which started in 2015.
