Your Wizard Rock Radio Station
Hello magical friends, especially my magical patrons whose support lets me do these interviews! I’m your hostwitch Bess and this month I’m talking to someone who I think is one of my new favorite people.
So let’s get into it! Here’s “Green Eyes” by the Nargleptics.

Hello magical friends, and welcome to WZRD’s 4th anniversary bonus episode! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and this interview is really just a taster for the real special. To find it, make your way over to the Why Can’t We Be Wizards feed and listen to our extraordinary journey. I’ll also include a link in the show notes and transcript here. [link]
While you go find that, here’s our first set of songs. First up is “Save Ginny Weasley” by Harry and the Potters.

I’m thrilled to be back for another year of wizard rock, so let’s kick it off with “Marietta’s a Sneak” by Hawthorn and Holly.
Continue reading “Episode 87: Resistance”Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 80 of WZRD Radio! I’m your Hostwitch Bess, and September is here! Normally I’d say that means fall has arrived but, well, I live in Florida.
I hope you all have sufficient air conditioning where you are!
Anyway, here’s our first set of music. This is “One Last Summer,” by Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls.

I’m gonna go take a nap in the Room of Requirement while you listen to some music.
Continue reading “Episode 55: Battle Cedric Diggory”Hello magical friends, especially James, the newest member of the WZRD Radio Patreon! Hi James!
I’m your hostwitch Bess and I’ve got a very special guest today. Your own—and my own—Slytherspouse! Not just the technical know-how behind the WZRD Radio radio station, he’s also a wizard rocker in his own right.
We’ll dig into what makes him tick in a minute, but first, let’s hear some music.
This is The Whomping Willows with “Sometimes I Feel Ugly.”
Continue reading “Episode 52: Slytherspouse”Hello magical friends, and welcome to Episode 49 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and this is your semi-regular reminder that if you’re not comfortable being part of the Harry Potter fandom, that’s fine. You can step away. JKR is making any association with her incredibly toxic. Even your hostwitch is moving her Harry Potter décor out of the more public parts of her home.
If you’re part of this community for life, let me point you to the Gayly Prophet’s “Guide to Firing JKR while keeping Harry Potter,” WZRD’s own Pinkie Promise to boycott the franchise and support trans rights, and the Trans Wrock Comp that features some of our queer and trans wrockers and allies.
I know it’s uncomfortable to talk about this subject and examine our feelings on it, but I think that’s part of what keeps us different from JKR; that we keep doing the hard work and examining our impact on other people.
To help as we process how we’re feeling, here’s some music! First up is “Knight Bus” by Knight Bus.

Hello magical friends and welcome to the last WZRD Radio episode of 2020. Don’t worry, we’ll be back again in January but your hostwitch is taking the rest of December off. Time for winter hibernation, my friends!

Hello magical friends and welcome to another episode of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and I hope you’re all staying safe, getting creative with ways to see friends, and mastering your cleaning charms. Here at WZRD Radio, we’re keeping our post owls very busy.
This month, we’re starting with Roonil Wazlib’s “Ariana.”
