Your Wizard Rock Radio Station
Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 130 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and I’m so excited people are playing the theme guessing game again! So congratulations to James and Celia, who managed to guess episode 128’s theme of “Umbridge” at almost the same time!
Let’s get to this month’s themed music! Our first song is “The Lavatory Song” from the 8th Horcrux.

Summer! Of! Fun! might be winding down, but there’s still plenty of joy to be had in the fandom. I’m looking forward to sharing some of it with you, but first the music.

I’m your hostwitch Bess and as we move into spring, I hope you’re all thinking hard about your Summer! Of! Fun! plans. Hosting a movie night? Creating the perfect cosplay?

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.

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!
We’re kicking off with The Butterbeer Experience and “The Prince’s Tale.”
Continue reading “Episode 64: It’s Real For Us”Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 61 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I hope you’re all ready for harvest festivals! They’re my favorite.
Before we get to the music, I’d like to share a project from some dear podcast friends:
Goblet of Wine lost a member of their community last year, and are running a fundraiser for Mermaids in their memory. I’m including a link in the transcript, and the show notes, and I hope you donate if you can. It’s so important, as part of the Harry Potter fandom, to be acutely aware of what damage giving any money to the franchise does, and to fight transphobia at every turn. [link]
While you’re checking out that link, here’s “Bubble Gum Wrappers” by The House of Black.
Continue reading “Episode 61: Pick Up Your Wands”Hello magical friends and welcome to episode 55 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and, while you’re listening to this, I’m recovering from LeakyCon Orlando. I assume I had a wonderful time and met so many of you.
I’m gonna go take a nap in the Room of Requirement while you listen to some music.
