Been gradually adding more podcasts to my weekly audio buffet, These past two weeks I've discovered 1Up's new WoW podcast, Legendary Thread, featuring some personalties already familiar to me from other 1Up productions, such as Luke Smith and Jeff Green.
The best thing about it is that apart from Luke, the hosts are all casual players that people would have a better chance of relating to. Having a hardcore like Luke there helps move the topics along and add some variety. On one hand you get Luke passive aggressively whining about his Shaman while taking manic pot shots at classes perceived as being overpowered, and then at the opposite end of the spectrum, you have Jeff telling us about playing the game with his daughter. The show does a good job of capturing the variety of players that WoW attracts
In addition, I've been checking out the Played Podcast, staring, among others, Chris Remo from Shacknews (Whose job I was actually one of the finalists for getting). The Played group has good chemistry and tend to keep the discussions fresh and interesting, even when they are about games i've read and heard about a million times. I reccomend them if you are looking for something a little different then the usual fanboy baiting verbal flamefests that, despite how entertaining I may find them, many other shows tend to become(1Up yours, I'm talking to you).
