Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 93 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and it’s well and truly spring here. I hope you listen to this while enjoying your own beautiful weather.
As always, we’ve got a lot of fun stuff going on this month, so let’s get to it!
Here’s “I Have Red Hair” by Ginny and the Heartbreakers.
~*~
That was “I Have Red Hair” by Ginny and the Heartbreakers, Kwikspell and Statutory Snape singing “It’s a Ginger!,” and “Yellow and Black” from The Metamorphmagus.
I know I’m on a podcast kick with these shout-outs, but what can I say? There are some real gems in the world.
This month I want to talk about Care of Magical Shippers. Hosted by Megs and Nathan, this podcast is for Potter fans who like a dose of joy and chaos in their fandom. Every episode they discuss the relationships in the series, both canon and fanon, romantic, platonic, and beyond. Your hostwitch has even been a guest, talking about the one and only Viktory.
If you’re a fan of fandom, this is definitely one podcast you’ll want to check out. [link]
Here’s our next music block, beginning with The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office and “Lily’s Green Eyes.”
~*~
You just heard “Lily’s Green Eyes” by The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, Ring of Scribes with “Snakeskin Blues,” and “Knight Bus” by Knight Bus.
April is an exciting month for our fandom, magical friends. Here’s just a little of what’s going on:
If you’re in Sanford, Michigan April 5-6th, Crazy Vines Winery is putting on an “interactive performance” where you’ll be making alcoholic potions with Professor Snape. Uniforms encouraged. [link]
April 13th will see a “Harry Potter Read-a-thon” in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania. 32 people will read the entire Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone as a fundraiser for the local library, with added entertainment. [link]
On April 14th, Perception Studio in Smithville, Ohio is offering Harry Potter-themed photoshoots, with physical and digital magic. [link]
April 19-21st, The Blibbering Humdingers are the guests of honor at Filk Ontario in Markham, Canada. [link]
Potted Potter is back! This time at the Athenaeum Theater in Melbourne, Australia, April 24- May 5th. [link]
Calling all theatrical friends! There are auditions for the play Puffs April 27th and 28th in West Plains, Missouri. [link]
Also April 28th is the 2nd Annual Harry Potter Day Party at The Bread Lady in Lake Ann, Michigan, with all kinds of fun and games. [link]
And most importantly! Bisexual Harry is putting together a cover comp to celebrate 20 years of The Cruciatus Curse. Email them if you want to help with this tribute. [link]
As for what I missed last month…
Dawlish and the Archies released an old album, this time with added commentary. [link]
Our last music break is here, magical friends! First up is Striking Down Diggory and “Opening the White Tomb.”
~*~
That was “Opening the White Tomb” from Striking Down Diggory, “Painted Black” by The Weasel King, and Dream Quaffle’s “Pink Lady.”
Shout-out to Susannah for being the first one to get episode 91’s theme correct! It was, of course, Ravenclaw.
If you heard your new favorite song, go to the transcript at WZRDRadioPod.com, follow the link, and buy yourself a copy. You’ll get a great new addition to your music collection and a wizard rocker will know they’ve got a fan. And you know what I always say: without our wizard rockers, we wouldn’t be here.
You can support WZRD and the Community Wrock Fund by joining the Patreon at Patreon.com/WZRDRadioPod. There are two, five, and ten dollar tiers that all get the same perks, including early episodes and bonus content, and support the Fund in helping our wizard rockers get their music out there.

Until next time, magical friends: Don’t hold back on me. Give me something to remember.
