Episode 100: The Original WZRD

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 100 of WZRD Radio! One Hundred! Can you believe it? We’ve heard so much music and met so many amazing musicians and done so much in that time—including roughly doubling the number of reviews WZRD has on places like Apple podcasts and Spotify, so thank you so, so much to everyone that took the time to star, like, and review. I was a little anxious about asking for reviews and you responded with such generosity and enthusiasm.

In honor of our 100 episodes, I decided this interview would take a look back at where it all began…with the original WZRD! Amy and Jamie came on to chat about the good old days and you know what? They can take over for me any time.

Before we dive into this pensieve, here’s our first block of music. This is Amy Snow with “Fat Lady.”
