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.”

This is Hawthorn and Holly “At The End of the Night.”
