Episode 96: Sonorus

Hello magical friends, and welcome to episode 96 of WZRD Radio! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and I had a wild thought.

What if we try to get WZRD to 100 reviews by our 100th episode? I’ll leave a few links in the transcript to places where you can leave a quick star or review, or you can use whatever you’re listening to this episode on. I’m told reviews really help, and 100 feels like a monumental number.

Episode 92: The Fizzing Whizbees

Hello magical friends, with a special welcome to my wonderful patrons, who make these interviews possible! I’m your hostwitch Bess, and today I’m excited to be talking to a wonderful new wizard rocker.

First, however, let’s talk anniversary merch. It wouldn’t be a WZRD birthday without some new swag, right? Based off the buttons I was handing out at LeakyCon last year, we have new stickers! “Wizard punks fight transphobia and listen to WZRD Radio.” We also now have iron-on WZRD patches! Go check them out at the WZRD shop, linked in the transcript. [link]

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.
