  • Great

    Appreciate the perspective here. Many of the wow podcasts seethe with bitterness and constant interruptions of each other. Appreciate their respect for one another and comprehensive content.

  • Terrific Information, Approachable Format

    If you are a current WoW player, or even just a “former” WoW player who wants to keep up with what’s going on in the game (because let’s be real, very few people ever really quit WoW), this is the podcast for you. The hosts are super cool, informative, and they do a great job of helping me keep up with the goings on in Azeroth and beyond. Great for a weekly listen while you’re waiting for Tuesday maintenance to end. Join the discord, it’s full of super chill and helpful folks. Keep it up guys, y... more

  • Intentional or coincidence

    First off the show is great. I just came back after a 8 year hiatus.When I came back I searched for a podcast to assist me in understanding the changes since my guild had died. listen to all new episodes and between I have been listening to older episodes.I have noticed there has been a lot of comments from older shows point out things that happen in future expacs. Example show 439 the person you were interviewing said Delve many times. The episode was 5 years prior to TWW. I also noticed you gu... more

  • Great insight, even for us casuals

    I started listening to Spencer and Jason when I came back to Warcraft during dragonflight. I used to be a semi hard-core raider back in WotLK, but now spend my Warcraft time playing very casual world content. I’ve never touched a mythic+, but since listening to these guys discuss mythic dungeons, raid tuning, class tuning, makes it not feel as intimidating. Their expertise and knowledge come through in a very well, and thoughtful delivery that has allowed me to feel confident enough to give My... more

  • First time listener

    I’m new to world of Warcraft and was looking for a good podcast to help increase my knowledge about the game. Since I am newer to the game not everything they talked about I understood which is okay because I will eventually get there. Overall I thought the podcast was great and I can easily give it 5 stars, the guys knew their stuff and seem to have a lot of experience in the game. Highly recommend this and will now be tuning in every time a new show is up.
