Your Wizard Rock Radio Station
Hello magical friends and welcome to episode 103 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I’ve been meaning to do this episode for a few years now, but kept forgetting until it was too late. Not this year though!
Let’s see if you can figure out why this theme had to be September’s episode. Your first clue is “excuse me” by The Hermione Crookshanks Experience.

Anyway, I’m sure you’re excited to hear from today’s guest, so let’s get started on that music! We’re kicking off today with Daniel Kelly’s “Mirror of Desire.”
Hello magical friends and welcome to episode 101 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and since it’s now August, I’m ready to start celebrating my birthday. (My family motto is “celebrate all the things.”) One of the ways I’m doing that is by officially adding another member to the WZRD team! They’ll be introducing themselves after this music break, so stay tuned!
We’re kicking things off with Anvil and the Hints and “Farewell, My Friend.”

We’ve heard so much music and met so many amazing musicians and done so much in that time—including roughly doubling the number of reviews WZRD has on places like Apple podcasts and Spotify, so thank you so, so much to everyone that took the time to star, like, and review. I was a little anxious about asking for reviews and you responded with such generosity and enthusiasm.
In honor of our 100 episodes, I decided this interview would take a look back at where it all began…with the original WZRD! Amy and Jamie came on to chat about the good old days and you know what? They can take over for me any time.
Before we dive into this pensieve, here’s our first block of music. This is Amy Snow with “Fat Lady.”

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.
Here’s Miranda Puffskein and “The Chosen One.”

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.

I’m your hostwich Bess, and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to leave a rating or review for WZRD. And if you haven’t yet, don’t worry; there’s still some time before we make it to the 100th episode, so review away!
And make sure you pay extra-special attention during the events round-up, because there’s one I’m particularly excited about!
First up, of course, is our music, lead by Peeved and “Expelliarmus Kid.”
Continue reading “Episode 97: Mother, Forgive Me”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.

Before that, however, here’s some awesome music.
