Episode 33: Candle Wix

Hello magical friends, especially Kate, the newest member of the WZRD Radio Patreon, and Hayley, who I can’t remember if I gave a shout-out to, and would feel terrible if I missed.

I’m your hostwitch Bess, and this month I’m talk to Sagan of Candle Wix. If creating some of the funniest wizard rock around isn’t enough, they’re also the archivist over at the Wizrocklopedia.

First, however, we’ve got some music to get to, so don’t neglect your earmuffs! …I mean headphones.

Here’s ArgenPotter with “Como Un Horcrux.”

Hello magical friends! Especially Johannes, the newest member of Team WZRD on Patreon, whose support lets me do these episodes.

I’m your hostwitch Bess and today’s interview is extra-special, because it actually happened last year. So in a sense, we’ll be traveling back to the far-distant year of 2020 to find out what The Lovegoods were up to.

But first, some music. Here’s The Lovegoods with “Granger Bomb.”
