Your Wizard Rock Radio Station
Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 118 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and we are getting into the proper warmth of the year over here. Time for regular visits to Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor and dips in the Black Lake! Or your local equivalent.
While you look up “closest giant squid habitat,” here’s our first bit of music, with Siriusly Hazza P and “Why’d I Do It?” leading the charge.

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.
Continue reading “Episode 96: Sonorus”Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 91 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I just want to say happy anniversary! Can you believe WZRD is four years old?
I’ve got a few celebrations planned for the occasion. Some gifts, perhaps.
The first one is the Community Wrock Fund! With Yes All Witches going on hiatus, WZRD is proud to be launching our own program. Open to all wizard rockers both new and established, the Community Wrock Fund is a pool of money wrockers can apply to to help with their music. It’s available for any wrock-related need, including convention travel and recording equipment.
And if you want to help support the CWF, you can donate via paypal to WZRDRadioPod@gmail.com or by joining the WZRD Radio Patreon.
I am so excited to be starting this new project! You can find all the information on the Community Wrock Fund page of the WZRD Radio website, including the application form.
While you go check that all out, here’s “Wit Beyond Measure” by Ludo Bagman and the Trash.

Today I’m making a new friend and chatting with Sara Idani! Her new project is so much fun and I can’t wait to share her insights with you.
But first we’ve got “Not My Son” by QuickSpell and a couple other songs to hear.

Speaking of my magical Patreon friends, I had so much fun talking to this month’s guest, that I couldn’t bear to cut it all, so patrons are getting a special extended version of our conversation. But don’t worry if you’re not a patron; this version is still excellent.
Let’s dive into it, with out first music break.
