History

World of Warcast first aired as a podcast in July 2, 2005, with two hosts, Starman and Lindyen. They produced the first ten episodes together until October 11, 2005, when a dispute between the hosts temporarily closed the show.

On December 24, 2005, Starman resurrected World of Warcast with a new host, Renata. They produced their first show together starting with Episode 11 on January 5, 2006, and the cast has continued without a break since.

Their website with forums can be found at worldofwarcast.com, and the show is distributed through iTunes in AAC format only. The show has been featured on the front page of iTunes and is currently one of the most popular World of Warcraft podcasts, with six-figure downloads for individual episodes.

About the Show

The show's format is information-based and covers news and feature segments on a variety of World of Warcraft topics, including both game basics and end-game raiding, class features, and technical topics such as discussions about mods. Guests appear on the show occasionally to discuss their own areas of expertise. There are also recurring features, such as Warrior's Den and Mod of the Cast.

World of Warcraft, unlike many gaming podcasts, steers clear of explicit language and topics that would jeopardize a "PG" type rating.

About the Hosts

Starman is the host of the show and has been since the first episode. He has an Alliance perspective; his main is a night elf druid who is a member of a hardcore raid guild on Whisperwind. He has experienced the game to the highest levels and does most of the segments about high level raiding. He is the editor of the podcast, drawing from a long background in radio.

Renata is the current co-host, joining the podcast in December 2005 and starting with Episode 11. She has a Horde perspective; her main is an undead warrior who is a member of a casual guild on Whisperwind. Renata also has a large number of alts and brings this breadth of experience to the podcast. Renata's real-life husband, Cryler, is a frequent guest on the podcast.

Both hosts have long experience with MMORPGS, having played Everquest and other similar games for several years prior to playing World of Warcraft.
