wzrdradiopodcast1 Comment

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 99 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and it’s so hot here that Slytherspouse, Ravencat, and Hufflekitten are all lying on the hardwood and panting. I hope you’re keeping cool where you are.

Thank you again to everyone who’s been rating and reviewing WZRD in your podcast apps. It’s a huge help to the show, and episode 100 is coming before you know it.

July is a big month in the fandom so let’s dive right in.

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 98 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and we are getting so close to the 100th episode! Thank you to everyone who’s been reviewing and starring and spreading the good word of wrock as part of the 100 for 100. You all write such nice things, and it’s surprisingly heartening to see all the stars on places like Spotify.

Today’s episode is with a wizard rocker who came to the community, as many do, with the thought “this is silly,” and found out what a wonderful place this really is. I can’t wait to share that story with you, but first we’ve got some music.

Here’s “Felix Felicis” by Swish and Flick.

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 96 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I had a wild thought.

What if we try to get WZRD to 100 reviews by our 100th episode? I’ll leave a few links in the transcript to places where you can leave a quick star or review, or you can use whatever you’re listening to this episode on. I’m told reviews really help, and 100 feels like a monumental number.

And while you do that, here’s a music block for you, followed by a really wonderful interview, starting with “Christopher the Hufflepuff” by Muggle Snuggle.

Hello magical friends, with a special welcome to my wonderful patrons, who make these interviews possible! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and today I’m excited to be talking to a wonderful new wizard rocker.

First, however, let’s talk anniversary merch. It wouldn’t be a WZRD birthday without some new swag, right? Based off the buttons I was handing out at LeakyCon last year, we have new stickers! “Wizard punks fight transphobia and listen to WZRD Radio.” We also now have iron-on WZRD patches! Go check them out at the WZRD shop, linked in the transcript. [link]
