"And I was like 'this is my chance to fill this one little dream that I have; my tiny little Harry Potter dream.' And so I went and I performed Wrockstock. It was amazing. I cried.

"I think a lot of my wizard rock memories are that fun combination of being a fan of someone else, but also having them be a fan of you. It was a mutual love thing, you know? It was really cool to show up and have people care about what you do, but then also be just as equally stoked on what they're doing." -Eli of Roonil Wazlib See the transcript at WZRDRadioPod.com Support WZRD Radio and Yes All Witches at Patreon.com/WZRDRadioPod

"...if you just want to like, get some ideas, obviously the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Jam is perfect for that...the topics they come up with are always like “Ooh, this would be really fun to write a song about, ooh!” You know, like it's not just... something, basic and prosaic. It's like... ‘muggles in relation to the wizarding world,’ like, how would you do that?... what could you write about that? It hasn't been explored much. Feel free to explore whatever you want in relation to wizard rock and expand the universe in the ways that you see fit."...

"When I applied for Yes All Witches I didn’t think that I would be chosen. I sent in something thinking “well, what’s the harm? Might as well see what happens, right?” And I was absolutely thrilled to be chosen because, well, for one thing I wasn’t expecting it, so that’s always a nice surprise, but also because that meant I had access to advice. And as someone who’s really new to music in general, that was at least as valuable as the monetary aspect." -Zoe Bentley of Dots & Lines See the transcript at WZRDRadioPo...

"And that’s one of the things that I’ve always loved about wizard rock from the very beginning. It doesn’t matter what style of music it is. It doesn’t matter if you sound like you should be a band that’s on the radio or if you’re just sitting in front of your Mac Book built in microphone with an acoustic guitar or ukulele and your voice. You’re creating something that’s unique and personal to you." -Russ Benoit, Creevey Crisis See the transcript at WZRDRadioPod.WordPress.com Support WZRD Radio and Yes All...
