WoW Insider Show Episode 133: The Lost Episode
Are you guys familiar with the term "perfect storm"? It's when a whole bunch of awful things happen at the same time, and then George Clooney shows up in a boat. Well, we recorded this particular episode of our WoW Insider Show podcast Wednesday the 10th of March, in an attempt to get you guys a podcast before Adam went on his mini-vacation. At the end of the episode, we had a catastrophic recording failure that split the show into 600 or so bite-sized pieces instead of the party sub of a show we're used to. Then Adam's laptop died. Then I got very, very sick and had to go to the hospital. Then Adam's town got flooded. Then Rossi shaved his chest hair, which was probably the worst of all. But, finally, things fell back into place. So, after all that, we present to you this like-new episode of our beloved podcast, filled to the brim with the content described below. We hope you enjoy it. Guest host: WoW.com editor Adam Holisky Cataclysm's Mastery system preview Goon Squad's heroic defeat of Tirion Fordring Reader emails And more! Thanks for waiting for this episode -- we know sometimes it's hard to understand that there are real people with real lives behind the names on the site, and your patience is much appreciated whilst we took care of everything. And because it's been such a long wait between episodes, we'll be bringing you another new episode tomorrow! Two episodes this week? Hell yes, son -- that's how we /roll.

Upcoming changes to the WoW Insider Show
WoW.com is going to be making a few changes to the WoW Insider Show, our weekly podcast, and we wanted to fill you guys in on what's happening. We want to bring you a great show at the highest quality each week, and we're committed to ensuring we give you the best in analysis and news recaps of what's going on in the World of Warcraft. After the big changes to the show's lineup earlier in the year, we've experimented with the show in a few different ways, read listener feedback, and braved floods, blizzards, and bad connections in an effort to bring you the best WoW podcast on the internet. So, to that end, we're doing a few things differently. Recorded intros and teasers for the show. Technology for the show's backend Provide detailed notes, along with a "here's what you're missing" clip, for each show, so you can decide at a glance whether this particular week will be up your alley. These are all things that lots of you have requested of us, and we're happy to get them off the ground. Our hosts and general routine won't be changing -- Matt Rossi and I will still bicker like an old married couple for an hour each week, we'll still be answering plenty of reader emails, and our rotating panel of guests will continue, including some recent favorites to which you guys responded positively. However, one thing that will be changing is the live format. Because of the increased emphasis on production, we've made the decision not to record live each Saturday on Ustream. The podcast team, or rather the significant others of the podcast team, also found the middle-of-the-weekend broadcast schedule problematic, and our couches aren't very comfortable. So, instead, every Monday morning we'll deliver a fresh podcast for you to listen to via download, streaming audio, or iTunes. We know this affects a large number of you who listen to the show each week in the chat channel, and hopefully you'll be pleased with the other changes. If you have further feedback for the show, please feel free to email theshow@wow.com or get in touch with me personally at sacco@wow.com and we can have a discussion.
WoW Insider Show on hiatus this weekend
Sadly, my friend, the Conan to my Andy, the Don Quixote to my Sancho Panza (I never did get my governorship) Michael Sacco is feeling under the weather and so, this weekend, there will be no WoW Insider show. We considered doing the show with just me hosting, but the prospect of an entire show dedicated to my poor choice in accents (is it Scottish, Russian, or pirate? I can't tell either) and talking about tanking on a warrior in excruciating detail didn't seem like the best move. Never fear, next week our usual mix of commentary, top stories from the week's WoW.com archives, and guest hosts will return, stronger than ever. Well, except for me. I'll pretty much be the same annoying guy I am now. I'll probably be hairier, though, as I've stopped shaving entirely. By next week I expect to be a full fledged sasquatch. Our weekly podcast roundup is available for your podcast listening needs, and if you miss Mister Sacco's dulcet tones, you can catch up with our older episodes here.

WoW Insider Show episode 129: House of cards
This Saturday's WoW Insider Show featured regular standbys Mike Sacco and Matt Rossi as well as two special guests -- Mat McCurley, our new addon/UI columnist, and Amy Schley, our new legal columnist. Love was, apparently, In The Air, but so was an hour or so of WoW discussion ranging from what's going on with the WoW TCG to a sort-of-confirmed Cataclysm release date thanks to the Activision-Blizzard financial report, on top of answering reader emails and talking amongst ourselves. A good time was indeed had by all. Get the podcast: [iTunes] Subscribe to the WoW Insider Show directly in iTunes. [RSS] Add the WoW Insider Show to your RSS aggregator.

WoW Insider Show live today at 4 PM Eastern
The WoW Insider Show returns to the airwaves today at a special day and time, 4:00 PM Eastern time. This means no podcast on Saturday this week! The schedule will return to normal on Saturday, Feb. 13th. Your host Michael Sacco and cohost Matthew Rossi will be answering reader emails, shootin' the breeze, and discussing the week's top stories on WoW.com and around the web. Today? It's all about Arthas, baby. And, of course, we'll talk live with the folks in the chat channel. You can email the podcast any time of night or day at theshow@wow.com, and you'll be able to listen in to the show on the feed on our Ustream site, or after the jump. Please note, last week's podcast will be available for download later today.
WoW Insider Show with Ayabi & Sijia live today at 3:30 PM Eastern
The WoW Insider Show returns to the airwaves today at 3:30 PM Eastern time, bringing with it your host Michael Sacco, cohost Matthew Rossi, and special guests and prolific cosplayers Ayabi and Sijia. We'll be answering reader emails, shootin' the breeze, and, of course, discussing the week's top stories on WoW.com and around the web. We'll also talk with Ayabi and Sijia about how they design, create, and make it work in their outfits. And, lest we forget, we'll be talking live with the folks in the chat channel.

WoW Insider Show Episode 126: Finally, he's gone
The WoW Insider Show podcast returned on Saturday, bringing with it your suspiciously-Italian-host-and-co-host team, Sacco and Rossi, along with WoW.com's own rogue (and now holy paladin!) columnist Chase Christian. We talked about keeping raid and pug habits separate, updating the game's character models, and other topics, as well as answering your emails. If you're wondering why this download is available so late in the week, well, we're wondering that too. It's probably for the same reason that I keep getting lost to the aether during the podcast call. We're streamlining the process of getting the podcast everywhere it needs to go, though, so starting this week it should be available every Monday on the dot. As always, you can email theshow@wow.com to have your email answered on the air, and if you have any guests you'd like to see on the show (or you'd like to be a guest yourself!) you can get a hold of us the same way. Surprise! Editor's note: Don't worry, we'll have more of the GaGa for you next week! Get the podcast: [iTunes] Subscribe to the WoW Insider Show directly in iTunes.

WoW Insider Show Episode 125 with Project Lore
Despite the fairly slow news week, we had a good WoW Insider Show podcast this Saturday, with Project Lore writers Tim "Heartbourne" Tusing and Jimmy "DJTyrant" Blocksom stopping by to offer their unique perspective on reader emails, the week's top stories, and having too little to talk about, for once. We discussed Sam Raimi's newfound freedom to work on the Warcraft movie, the Blizzard dev chat on Twitter, why tauren paladins really aren't that broken, and a myriad of other topics.

WoW Insider Show Episode 124 feat. Daryl Brewer and Fatty
We had a great time on the WoW Insider Show podcast this week, where my co-host Matt Rossi and I were visited by guest hosts and former WoW Idol winners Daryl Brewer and Fatty. We answered your emails live (Rossi predictably talked forever about choice of tanks for one reader, while Fatty and Daryl weighed in on what they don't want to see in Cataclysm), shouted out to the chat channel, and (of course) talked about WoW.com's top stories of the week. Eventually. A special thanks to Daryl and Fatty for being on the show this week -- you can check out Daryl's music on his Last.fm page, and for fans of Fatty, you can grab her "Daily Heroic" EP on iTunes and CDBaby for under five bucks, or check out the rest of her work at thesixtyone.com/fatty.

WoW Insider Show Episode 123: Goodnight everybody
The WoW Insider Show podcast aired once again this Saturday, with me and my guest hosts Matthew Rossi and Colby Moore delving into reader emails and this week's top stories on WoW.com. Thrill as we answer the age-old question of "Is it worth it to skip bosses in random heroics?" Marvel as we say it's pretty okay for Blizzard to help out the police! Gasp as I forget to thank my cohosts at the end of the show and pull a Yakko Warner! Goodnight everybody. As always, you can email us at theshow@wow.com with any questions or comments -- we might even read yours live on the air.

WoW Insider Show live today at 3:30 p.m. EST
The WoW Insider Show returns to the airwaves today at 3:30 PM Eastern time, bringing you post-new-years-eve fun. Michael Sacco and Matthew "Burly Ives" Rossi will be your co-hosts with Colby Moore jumping in to stop these two shamans from talking about just how great elemental really is. This week they'll be covering the major stories in the later half of 2009 and talk about the earthquakes happening in game. And as usual, of course, they'll answer your emails and talk live with the denizens of our seedy chatroom.
