As usual, you may address any questions or concerns about this week's show -- or suggestions for improvement for next week's show! -- to theshow@wowinsider.com. Thanks for listening and we hope to catch you back on WoW Radio next week, at 3:30 PM EST / 8:30 PM GMT.
As usual, WoW Insider kicks off the weekend by hosting a live show on WoW Radio where we cover all of the most interesting stories of the past week. For episode 6, catch Amanda Rivera, Elizabeth Harper, and WoW Radio's colorful Turpster discussing patch 2.2.2, the continued news on patch 2.3, how voice chat is working out for everyone, and other big topics of the week.
So head over to WoW Radio at 3:30 PM EST (that's 8:30 PM GMT) to catch up on the latest news in convenient audio format. And if you want to be sure you get your say, join us on IRC (on irc.mmoirc.org in #wowradio) to chat during the show or email us at theshow@wowinsider.com. We're always listening to your feedback, on air or off!
Just in case you missed it on Saturday, Episode 5 of the WoW Insider show is now online and in iTunes, ready for your listening pleasure. Robin, Turpster and I took to the airwaves (and if you had problems with the quality of our show, check again, as we've come up with a brand new way to record it that sounds a lot better) to talk in depth about patch 2.2, everything coming in patch 2.3, and all the other stuff you read on WoW Insider last week. It's just like reading this blog-- but it's in audio form!
As always, if you've got feedback about the show, compliments, questions, complaints, or anything else at all, toss us a line at theshow@wowinsider.com-- we'd love to hear it. We do the show every week, so if you like it this week and want to listen live, meet back up with us on Saturday at 3:30pm over at WoW Radio. Thanks for listening, enjoy the show.
WoW Insider once again takes to the virtual airwaves of WoW Radio tomorrow. On Episode 5 of our podcast, we'll chat once again about everything that's happened in the World (of Warcraft) this past week, and boy howdy is that a lot. There's voice chat and the new sound engine in 2.2, the rebirth of Alterac Valley, lots of patch 2.3 to discuss (I'm especially thrilled that Shaman shields are getting some much-needed love), and we'll also hit on progressive content, as well as those required Arena ratings you folks are so interested in.
Should be fun as always, and remember you're invited to join us both via email at theshow@wowinsider.com, and on IRC live during the show-- hit up irc.mmoirc.org in channel #wowradio, or just jump on at the WoW Radio site.
I'll be there, WoW Insider's Robin Torres will be along for the ride, and we'll have some folks from WoW Radio on as well (my guess is that Turpster will be on board as usual). Check it out tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 pm EST, or 8:30 pm GMT. Because if you like our site, you'll love the live audio version of it.
For those of you who missed the live broadcast, be sure to tune back in this coming Saturday at 3:30 PM EST / 8:30 PM GMT on WoW Radio for more of the latest news from the World of Warcraft!
If you haven't had a chance to tune in to the WoW Insider Show on WoW Radio, tomorrow could be your lucky day, because at 3:30 PM EST (that's 8:30 PM GMT for those of you in Europe) we'll be broadcasting live. This week, meet WoW Insider bloggers Elizabeth Harper (that's me!) and Eric Vice while we chat about Blizzard's recent disbandment of an erotic roleplaying guild, selling your account for $10,000, the trouble with gold farmers, and all of the other hot topics of the week.
So come over to WoW Radio tomorrow afternoon (3:30 PM EST / 8:30 PM GMT!) and take a listen -- and be sure to join us on IRC during the show at irc.mmoirc.com in channel #wowradio!

You may have already heard this one, but I figured it would be a good thing to post on Talk Like a Pirate Day. Our friends over at WoW Radio recently dropped a new track from Captain Dan, "rising star in the field of Pirate Hip-Hop," called "Deadmines Battle." You can listen to it over on their website-- it features some trippy beats, a little Casio jamming, and rhymes all about everyone's favorite pirate instance. My favorite part of the song, just like the instance, is Mr. Smite, of course.
WoW Radio also says Captain Dan's new album hits today (it's called Rime of the Hip-Hop Mariners, which I, being a Coleridge fan, find very funny)-- there's more tunes and information about that over on their Myspace page.
Avast ye maties, thar be some good rapping off starboard side! Now get back to yer deck-scrubbing, ye scurvy dogs, afore I keelhaul the lot of ya! Yarrrrrr!

The weekend before BlizzCon, Chris Metzen (Blizzard's Vice President of Creative Development), Jim Lee and DC Comics were at Comicon discussing the new World of Warcraft Comic Book.
Pictured here is Valeera Sanguinar, a Blood Elf Rogue Action Figure that is not available until October 24th. She is a character that is introduced in the comic book along with the other Action Figures: Thargas Anvilmar, Rehgar Earthfury and Meryl Felstorm.
The thing I find most interesting is that the comic book is a way that Blizzard is introducing new lore to be added to the game in future patches/expansions.
Chris Metzen is highly entertaining and passionate about the wonderful lore he has created. I highly recommend giving the podcast a listen, if you have the chance.
World of Raids has the story on WoW Radio's interview with Nihilum, WoW EU's leading guild in terms of PVE content. Awake and Ekke represent Nihilum and take us on a 90-minute audio insight into a top-tier raiding guild.
Covering topics from adjusting to TBC raiding, the recent nerfs to Gruul and Magtheridon, rogues and girls and raiding guilds, and even their bad taste in music (Justin Timberlake, anyone?), it's well worth the time spent listening to it.
My favorite part is when they discuss their preferred healer setup for a 25-man raid. Woo hoo!
Click on through to download the MP3 from World of Raids, then come back and share what you found interesting and insightful from the interview.
If you're running WoW on a Mac and trying to listen to iTunes while playing, you've probably hit the same problem Timi over on Kirin Tor has: the controls ain't just workin' quite right.
Sure, crossrealm BGs are cool, but for a few people, ingame iTunes controls were an even more awaited feature. The dev team didn't get it exactly right, however-- Tigerclaw tries to explain why over on the forums, but I couldn't get much farther than "a Plan-B version was shipped using 'osascript'... to solve the blocking/deadlock issue" before I gave up and reached the same conclusion you probably will: Blizzard shipped something out that didn't work the way they wanted it to (that snickering you're hearing right now is people who played Hunters right after WoW's release, when the class wasn't even close to done).
Even if it isn't working right, however, it still seems to be working, as Timi finds a solution after a little tweaking. Tigerclaw, of course, promises the next major patch will bring relief (have we heard that before?), but if you want help, you can probably find it on the support forums. Meanwhile, Rollak offers us another program that does something even Blizzard hasn't done yet-- control iTunes while playing WoW in Windows. Pretty slick-- maybe that's the guy Blizz should hired to implement this feature next patch.
The latest edition of The Battlegrounds, a World of Warcraft podcast, is now available to listen to on their website. The host Jimmy always puts together a fun show, and it's definitely one of the better-produced WoW podcasts out there.
This week features discussion of level 60 content & an interview with an end-gamer who offers some interesting insights into life at the end of the grind. You can check out the latest show & all the previous archived ones right here.
The latest edition of Taverncast, a semi-weekly WoW podcast, is available now for download. I've been listening since the end of January, and the guys over there (Cromley, Kirnkaterre, Eloysius and Asros) do a pretty good show; they have a good amount of varied content & they always seem to have a lot of fun while doing it.
This weeks show features an overview of the Horde quest 'Inside the Scarlet Monastery', and a segment on tuning your PC for the optimal WoW experience, among other things. Head over to their site & check it out...
