Episode 105: Halloween is Fun, But…

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 105 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and before we get in to today’s episode I’ve got a bit of business.

As you know, WZRD is now a team of two, with your hostwitch staffing the main office and our beloved Special Correspondent in the Field DQ gallavanting about and meeting you all in person. Well, it felt important that we have some sort of token for folks who might happen across Dream Quaffle while they’re Corresponding. To that effect we’ve knocked up three potential designs of buttons but we need your help making the final decision on which one will be the official Special Correspondent in the Field swag.

I’ve made a public poll on the WZRD Patreon, with a picture of each button option, that anyone can vote on. You don’t have to be a magical patron! Just pop on over to Patreon.com/WZRDRadioPod and tell us which one you think is best.

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.”

Episode 69: NEWTs

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 69 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and today’s interview is with the magical Mia of NEWTs.

Before you get to hear about wrock life in Wales, I want to remind you that I have two giveaways on for WZRD’s third birthday. You can get the details on the pinned post on the website, which I’ll also link in this episode’s transcript, but you have two ways to win a pack of WZRD merch—donating to the LeakyCon Community Fund or filling out the giveaway form. I’ll be announcing the winners on April 1st, so you’ve got a couple weeks to take care of that. [link]

Here’s some music to keep you company while you enter those.

This is Kathryn Hoss and “Hermione Granger’s Not A Transphobe.”
