I’d like to say a special shout-out to my magical friend Geoff for this episode’s playlist! It does mean they can’t guess today’s theme with everyone else, but I appreciate that sacrifice.

Now, to fortify us for this new year, here’s some music!

Episode 33: Candle Wix

Hello magical friends, especially Kate, the newest member of the WZRD Radio Patreon, and Hayley, who I can’t remember if I gave a shout-out to, and would feel terrible if I missed.

I’m your hostwitch Bess, and this month I’m talk to Sagan of Candle Wix. If creating some of the funniest wizard rock around isn’t enough, they’re also the archivist over at the Wizrocklopedia.

First, however, we’ve got some music to get to, so don’t neglect your earmuffs! …I mean headphones.
