Episode 129: Lordess Voldina and the Eating Dead

Hello magical friends, especially my wonderful patrons who make these interview episodes possible! (Literally. You folks pay for the hosting.) This has been a year of new beginnings and we’re not through yet! This month’s interview is with our newest wizard rocker so far! I can’t wait for you to hear her story. First though, we can’t have WZRD without the music!

Don't forget, you've got a couple weeks to get zine submissions in! I'm hoping to get essays, art, quizzes and all sorts of silliness!

Save the date, tell your magical friends, and get ready to Wrock out!

WZRD Radio Podcast @wzrdradiopod.bsky.social · Aug 11

We know not everyone can be in St. Louis this weekend for EnchantiCon, but we thought it would be a shame for anyone who might be interested to miss out on the wizard rock show happening this Friday night! So, we will be streaming the whole thing on the WZRD Radio Instagram!

I am so *grateful* to my magical patrons, whose support lets me do things like monthly interview episodes and (most relevantly) buy more wizard rock!

It's BandCamp Friday, when BandCamp waives their fees so all money goes to the artists.

Get shopping, magical friends!

This is a preemptive apology to the people of "Gallipolis, OH," whose town I unquestionably mangle in the upcoming episode.
