Last night I listened to Accio-Potter Wizard Radio’s first live podcast. Now I love listening to Harry Potter related podcasts, be it the informative and entertaining Pottercast and Mugglecast or the truly wonderful Snapecast (which isn’t produced anywhere near regularly enough for my liking – of course I’m not at all biased about that), however I’ve never really got into the Wizard Rock podcasts. Mainly this is due to a lack of time – after all listening to all these podcasts takes a great deal of time and I just don’t have enough, but also because I already have plenty of Wizard Rock (over three thousand tracks at the last count) to listen to and of course then I have to find time for my Muggle music too.
Now I know other Wrock podcasts do exist. When I first found Wizard Rock I used to listen to Atriumcast and I have listened to a few episodes of WZRD and the Harry Potter Wizard Rock Radio, but finding myself unexpectedly at home with nothing much on at a time that was actually compatible (no mean feat when you’re living in the UK and most HP-related things are from the US with their inconvenient early morning timings) I decided to log on and listen to the live show.
And I really enjoyed it. Of course being old I had trouble getting connected and I never did manage to work out where the polls and the chat they kept mentioning on the show was going on (if anyone can point me in the right direction for the future I would be grateful), but I thought the music was excellent, the hosts did a pretty good job and it was nice to hear an interview with Jarrod from Gred and Forge about what he's up to.
Of course I was especially happy as they played The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office and RiddleTM amongst others and a song that I really want to get hold of (so someone please tell me where I can get it) Wizards Who Died by The Remus Lupins. This is of course a cover of the classic Jim Carroll song People Who Died from his wonderful album Catholic Boy and was for me one of the highlights of the evening.
I guess the live podcast was a success because there’s another one on 16th May and if I find myself at home again I will definitely be tuning in and would urge you to do the same.
