Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 120 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I hope you’re all hard at work on your Summer! Of! Fun! The sun is shining, the air is warm, and it’s time to have fun with friends.

Speaking of fun with friends congratulations to Celia, who was the first one to guess episode 118’s theme of “bathrooms.” That was a particularly silly one and I’m glad you figured it out.

Let’s get into this month’s music! First up we have the Department of Mystery and “Avada Kedavra.”

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.

Episode 100: The Original WZRD

wzrdradiopodcast2 Comments

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 100 of WZRD Radio! One Hundred! Can you believe it? 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.”
