WR1000: The Thousandth Episode!
It's here! Episode 1,000! Who knew this silly podcast would have lasted so long?This, probably unsurprisingly, isn't a regular episode of Witchpolice Radio. It's a conversation -- led by my friends and fellow podcasters Sean and Todd McGinity (and shoutout to Ron Moore for his contributions as well) -- about the show's history, podcasting in general, the local music scene... and much more!
On this episode, I respond to questions from listeners, friends, family and general well-wishers -- all of which I'm hearing for the first time. Some of them are serious, some of them are funny, some are deep-cut in-jokes, but all are greatly appreciated.
A huge thank you to everyone who got the podcast this far. I love you all.
Big shoutout to Jamie Fougere for this creepy-cool cover art!
Back to your regularly-scheduled programming next week.

WR999: Stephanie Westdal
Great chat with award-winning singer-songwriter Stephanie Westdal, all about balancing bold, vulnerable lyrics about serious issues with danceable pop songs, the upcoming Goddess Series of events celebrating creative women, and much more! This one is jumping the queue because it’s a little time sensitive and I’m working around the big 1,000th episode coming soon...

WR998: Peg City Soundoff
This isn't a regular episode of Witchpolice Radio. It's an abridged audio version of a two-hour(!) conversation I had with the host of video podcast Peg City Soundoff on his show.
We talked all about podcasting (including my upcoming 1,000th episode and his one-year anniversary), local music -- of course -- and all sorts of other stuff.
You can find the full video chat on Peg City Soundoff's Facebook or YouTube. Always very nice to see other people getting into this podcast thing. DIY or die.
