Shame on Rho for thinking 5.3 would be out this week. Don’t fret though. Today’s show is a little longer than usual as you’ll hear the entire interview with Sayomara Vesper from Grand Old Podcast. There’s also a WoW podcast gathering at Blizzcon you might want to learn about.

Rolling Restart- You’ve heard it a dozen times this week, so why not hear Rho also tell you that WoW is (not) dying?

As always the show takes you Around the World of Warcraft in 80 Seconds. Thanks to Battle.net, Manaflask, MMO-Champion, WoW Insider, wowprogress.com, and WoWhead for their news articles which were used as research for these segments.

New season, familiar format, same great content. Let’s do this!

NOTE: Since April Fool’s Day is pretty much over, I’m clearly marking this as a joke episode.

Yes, the silence from 8 minutes to near the end of the show was intentional.

Episode #33 will be up at the usual time. No joke.

This week there’s so much to talk about that Rho wonders if it’s time for a format change. You can give your opinion after listening to a Horde House interview, plenty of podcast news, and another last-minute “Hotfixes” segment at the end of the show!

In a parallel universe, the Podcast of the Week interview went horribly wrong and Rho calls The Sundering to talk about it while congratulating them on 100 episodes. Sounds like an easter egg to me!

Realm Maintenance is a short bite-sized podcast meant to cover the week in WoW and WoW podcasts, with a little extra time given to the top news story of the week and one podcast featured as my Podcast of the Week.

The goal is to keep the cast between 8 and 12 minutes long, produced on Monday and available on this site early Tuesday morning a bit before realms go down.

This pilot episode was mostly recorded off a rough script. I went freestyle during the “Rolling Restart” news segment as an experiment more than anything else. Definitely room for refinement and improvement there.

I’m a huge fan of the WoW soundtrack and love using sections of the music in my productions. Since this is a stand alone production and not a segment I made sure to credit Blizzard for that audio. A small bit of thanks to Blessing of Frost, whose ending I essentially borrowed and altered to work at the end of the microcast.

If you want to promote your cast for FREE on this show, then email away! As long as I can work everything within a 12 minute show, you’re good.

This microcast isn’t meant to be mine alone. It’s for players and podcasters alike. I still have plenty of podcasts on my directory that I haven’t listened to an episode of, but I’m working on that. I look forward to getting to know podcasters past, present, and future through my time on this adventure.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening. Feedback and comments on the format of the show are very much appreciated.

-Rho
