Episode 72: Cedric Had It Coming

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 72 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and it’s been very rainy here, so it must be May!

I’m particularly excited for this month’s events, but we’re a music-forward show here, so let’s get some music going.

This is MuggleBorn and “1994.”

~*~

That was “1994” by MuggleBorn [lyrics], Marked as His Equal and “Face the Dragon” [lyrics], and The Mudbloods with “It’s Dragons! It’s Mermaids!! It’s A Maze!!!.”

May’s wandoscope is for magical friends who carry wands of spruce.

You’ve picked an interesting wand wood, magical friend. It seems any sign of hesitation leaves a gap for your wand to do whatever magic it wants. So it’s a lucky thing you’re so sure of your plans!

The seasons are stabilizing, spruce wand, and so are your goals. Honestly, I think you have a wonderful time ahead of you. Just don’t forget to get your plans peer-reviewed by a dittany or yew, someone who can catch any hidden bumps along the way.

Next up is Ludo Bagman and the Trash with “It’s All Just Fun and Games.”

~*~

That was Ludo Bagman and the Trash with “It’s All Just Fun And Games” [lyrics], “Herm-own-ninny” by Totally Knuts, and The Weasley Twins with “The Goblet.”

Are you ready to have some fun this month? Here are just a few of May’s events!

My favorite convention in the whole world is back, magical friends! MISTI-Con will be in Laconia, NH from May 19-22nd, and of course your hostwitch and Slytherspouse will be there. I’ll be hosting a workshop, and he’ll be hosting a weekend-long game! Not only that; there will also be performances by Kalysta Flame, Hawthorn & Holly, and Dream Quaffle. It’s going to be awesome and you should all come. [link]

Dream Quaffle has also teased a release around MISTI, so keep an eye on them!

Camp Wrock is coming! If you want to be part of this exciting album, get in touch with Zoe Bentley on Facebook, aka Dots & Lines if you’re in the Discord. Registration deadline is May 31^st.

Conveniently, the annual Wizard Rock Sampler is also coming! Submissions are due by August 28^th and I can’t wait to see what you all create. [link]

And so much music came last month!

Bisexual Harry gave us a Wolfstar parody. [link]

Slytherin released “The Path We Choose.” [link]

The “How Weird Can You Get” comp was released, with a little silliness from your hostwitch included! [link]

NEWTs’ “The Battle” arrived. [link]

and

Dream Quaffle’s “Lullabies for Magical Children” has arrived to carry you gently off to sleep. [link]

Our final music break begins with “Yule Ball” by The Fleur Delacours.

~*~

That was The Fleur Delacours and “Yule Ball,” Hawthorn & Holly singing “The Villainous Tale of Flesh, Blood, and Bone” [lyrics], and “Cedric Had It Coming” by The Whomping Willows.

And this is the end of the episode! I’m so glad we could spend this time together.

Until next time, magical friends: Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.
