At long last, here are two of my anniversary gifts to you, magical friends!
As a “wow! 3 years!” gift, I’m doing two WZRD Radio merch giveaways–and they’re including this year’s special anniversary item, Mini Hostwitch!
Hello magical friends, and welcome to this year’s birthday bonus of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I hope you’re all ready for this epic episode! TC from Pottership and I talk about our unpopular Harry Potter opinions. Personally, I had a blast and I hope you do too.
We’re going to dive right into it, after the music.
This is Totally Knuts and “In This Fairy Tale.”

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.”

It’s time for the party, so of course I brought treats!
Here’s “Hermione’s Favorite Food” by Harry and the Potters.
Continue reading “Episode 68: Key To Ron’s Heart”Hello magical friends, especially Lan and John, WZRD’s newest patrons, whose support lets me do these interview episodes!
I’m your hostwitch Bess and today I got to have a lovely chat with someone who’s seen the whole spectrum of wizard rock—and apparently made a fair bit of it!
Today’s guest is Patrick of The Hinky Punks.
Before we dig into the history of the Hinky Punks, I’ve curated a lovely collection of music for you, beginning with “Harry Potter’s Got A Firebolt” By Emeric Switch.
Continue reading “Episode 67: The Hinky Punks”Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 66 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I hope you are all doing brilliantly. Here at the hostwitch house, we’re excited to watch the days getting incrementally longer.
I’m sure you’re eager to get started, so without further ado, here’s MC Gryf and “Chocolate Cauldrons of Love.”
Continue reading “Episode 66: Get Me To An Apothecary”Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 65 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and we’re kicking off this year with an extra special guest: Lauren Fairweather! They are such a joy; I’m so glad they agreed to talk with me.
I can’t wait to share our conversation with you. First, however, it’s music time.
This is The Weirdos Are Out with “I Said No.”
Continue reading “Episode 65: Lauren Fairweather”Hello magical friends, and welcome to the first WZRD Radio episode of 2023! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I’m hoping you all have an exciting, but fully manageable, year ahead of you.
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 the last episode of 2022! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I’m getting excited for all the bright celebrations that come at the end of the year. Here’s hoping my city hires the Weasley Twins for the end-of-year fireworks, yeah?
It’s our third December together, magical friends, and you know what that means!
Here’s “A Very Severus Christmas” by Muggle Mike.

We cover everything from the magic that is LeakyCon to essential tips for new wrockers, so you’re gonna want to hear this one.
However, this is a music-forward podcast, so let’s start there.
This is Draco and the Malfoys with “Fixin’ Up a Cabinet.”
