Starting
on November 4th 2012, Nonmail’s Nutz is a explicit short form Warcraft
podcast, normally only lasting 15-20 minutes. However Nonmail’s history
in podcasting goes back much further than that. Nonmail started out
listening to podcasts likeWowcohol
and he quickly started listening to more and more podcasts until he
found Rep Grind Radio, where he became a regular contributor. After a
few months of sending emails, he started his own segment call Nonmail’s
Nutz, which he eventually used for the name of this own podcast.
After
being a guest on one of the final episodes of Rep Grind Radio before
its shutting down, Nonmail moved his segment to Rez's new showThe Eviscerated Gaming Podcast.
Since starting his own podcast Nonmail continues to do segments for
Eviscerated Gaming Podcast, all be it a little shorter than the original
ones.
During
our interview we talked about the novel Tides of War (I have included
Nonmail’s original review of Tides of War after the credits). After
talking about WoW novels, we talked about what its like to be a mailman,
with hours to kill and how that lead to listening to podcasts. We
mention how going to an Iron Maiden concert in 1983 makes some podcasts
hard to listen too. We delve into his secret life as an Elvis
impersonator, what it is like delivering mail around EPSN headquarters,
and everything else you have come to expect out of a History of Warcraft
podcasting interview.
Started on May 9th, 2009, on WoW Radio, But Wait! There's Lore is the longest continuously active Warcraft Lore podcast. Following the end WoW Radio in January of 2010, But Wait! There’s Lore became a youtube podcast, broadcasting live on Nordrassil radio. Pride, the owner and creator of But Wait! There's Lore has
been with the show since the beginning. During our interview, Pride
talks about getting his start in internet radio as a Naruto forum troll. After getting his feet wet there, Pride talks about joining the Scrolls
of Lore community and applying to WoW radio to fill their spot for a
lore podcast. Pride
and I talks about how our perspective of the lore has changed from
outsiders to someone that does it for podcast, as well as our thoughts
on the books, other lore podcasts, Pride's Illidan theory, and Chris
Metzen. Pride
talks is great detail about the end of WoW radio, finding out at
Blizzcon 2009, and the meeting with Athalus that would lead to Athalus
becoming CEO of OMFG.fm. We talk about the rise and fall of OMFG.
Pride’s perspective on Emperor being fired form OMFG and how that
affected OMFG, how shows were handled, and the lessons learned from that
time. Finally we talk about Pride’s move to Youtube, working with Jesse Cox, and Prides long term goals.
