  • Relaxing, fun and sometimes informational

    This is a very chill podcast by friends who catch you up on their week, what’s coming next in WoW, and a bit of game gossip. Always a good listen.

  • Meh

    A group of people just chatting about random topics that are only peripherally related to WoW. And the episode released so late after recording that little of the information was relevant to what was going on in WoW. Neither informative or particularly entertaining.

  • Great podcast

    It is nice to find a podcast that talks about WOW! So many podcasts have gone away over the fact that Blizzard is a bad company! I don’t care about blizzard I want my information about the game! This podcast does that!!!

  • Hey

    Rei, Harv, and Eric are great. They play WoW. They talk about WoW. Nick is an ideologue who can never stop preaching his ideology. It's completely unnecessary.
