About this listen

Welcome to Wizards and Spaceships, the only podcast that’s about wizards and also about spaceships. Well, probably not, but it does involve wizards, spaceships, and the things we love (and complain about) in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.Copyright 2025 Rachel A. Rosen & David L.
