Our Original Run

Here’s what you should know before listening to the OG run: 

  1. We used language then that we don’t use now. We think it’s important to learn in public and to stay accountable to past errors in judgment or ignorances so if you hear something you don’t like in the original run, we understand and we hope you find our more recent episodes are held to a higher standard of care and intention. 

  2. We edited these episodes ourselves. If you’re like, “hey why does this sound worse than current episodes,” that’s because our reboot involves the labor of a producer and a sound engineer who we pay through Patreon. Learn more about that here.

  3. We have transcripts for our reboot seasons! If you’d like a transcript of an original run episode, click the button below and to the right or email us at ohwitchplease@gmail.com. We’ll aim to get you what you’ve requested within 4 weeks.

February 2015 - September 2018

You’ve probably heard us talk about our “original run.” That first iteration of Witch, Please ran from February 2015 to September 2018 and was produced by Hannah and Marcelle! It was looser in format and sometimes featured wonderful buddies like Neale Barnholden and our erstwhile tech support, Trevor Chow-Fraser. The show began because we wanted to reread the Harry Potter books together and decided on a whim to record it, and ended because of things like paying jobs, new babies, moves and other creative ventures. In 2020, we agreed to reboot the show if we could find a way to pay a producer, so we reached out to Not Sorry. They helped us set up a Patreon and hire a producer, and the show was rebooted in the format you know and love today!
