Episode 105: Halloween is Fun, But…

wzrdradiopodcastLeave a comment

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 105 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and before we get in to today’s episode I’ve got a bit of business.

As you know, WZRD is now a team of two, with your hostwitch staffing the main office and our beloved Special Correspondent in the Field DQ gallavanting about and meeting you all in person. Well, it felt important that we have some sort of token for folks who might happen across Dream Quaffle while they’re Corresponding. To that effect we’ve knocked up three potential designs of buttons but we need your help making the final decision on which one will be the official Special Correspondent in the Field swag.

I’ve made a public poll on the WZRD Patreon, with a picture of each button option, that anyone can vote on. You don’t have to be a magical patron! Just pop on over to Patreon.com/WZRDRadioPod and tell us which one you think is best.

Hello magical friends and welcome to episode 103 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and I’ve been meaning to do this episode for a few years now, but kept forgetting until it was too late. Not this year though!

Let’s see if you can figure out why this theme had to be September’s episode. Your first clue is “excuse me” by The Hermione Crookshanks Experience.

Hello magical friends and welcome to episode 101 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess and since it’s now August, I’m ready to start celebrating my birthday. (My family motto is “celebrate all the things.”) One of the ways I’m doing that is by officially adding another member to the WZRD team! They’ll be introducing themselves after this music break, so stay tuned!

We’re kicking things off with Anvil and the Hints and “Farewell, My Friend.”

Episode 100: The Original WZRD

wzrdradiopodcast2 Comments

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.”

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 99 of WZRD Radio. I’m your hostwitch Bess and it’s so hot here that Slytherspouse, Ravencat, and Hufflekitten are all lying on the hardwood and panting. I hope you’re keeping cool where you are.

Thank you again to everyone who’s been rating and reviewing WZRD in your podcast apps. It’s a huge help to the show, and episode 100 is coming before you know it.

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 98 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and we are getting so close to the 100th episode! Thank you to everyone who’s been reviewing and starring and spreading the good word of wrock as part of the 100 for 100. You all write such nice things, and it’s surprisingly heartening to see all the stars on places like Spotify.

Today’s episode is with a wizard rocker who came to the community, as many do, with the thought “this is silly,” and found out what a wonderful place this really is. I can’t wait to share that story with you, but first we’ve got some music.

Here’s “Felix Felicis” by Swish and Flick.

And make sure you pay extra-special attention during the events round-up, because there’s one I’m particularly excited about!
