Episode 91: Wanderlust

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 91 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I just want to say happy anniversary! Can you believe WZRD is four years old?

I’ve got a few celebrations planned for the occasion. Some gifts, perhaps.

The first one is the Community Wrock Fund! With Yes All Witches going on hiatus, WZRD is proud to be launching our own program. Open to all wizard rockers both new and established, the Community Wrock Fund is a pool of money wrockers can apply to to help with their music. It’s available for any wrock-related need, including convention travel and recording equipment.

And if you want to help support the CWF, you can donate via paypal to WZRDRadioPod@gmail.com or by joining the WZRD Radio Patreon.

I am so excited to be starting this new project! You can find all the information on the Community Wrock Fund page of the WZRD Radio website, including the application form.

While you go check that all out, here’s “Wit Beyond Measure” by Ludo Bagman and the Trash.

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 59 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and remember: if the water is running away from you, you run away from the water. (I might be experiencing a hurricane as we speak.)
