I would love to be able to listen to this Podcast, unfortunately the British guy makes this impossible as his voice is the most annoying thing I've heard since Cheryl Baker left broadcasting.

I enjoy the show, when I can actually hear it. With the volume on my ipod cranked I can usually hear, assuming there is no motion on the street around me or I'm in a sound proof room.
Can you guys PLEASE fix your audio levels? :-)

Im only a listener of WoW Radio and have these are just my opinions and have nothing to do with anyone at the station, so these are just my views, but will people please stop QQing about some of the audio issues.
Firstly, any LIVE broadcast over the internet that has more than two people have audio issues.
Dont know about you, but guild vent doesnt exactly have the quailty for a podcast, and thats cos theres lots of people on it at once that all have differnt connections and audio setup's.
Also these issues are faced by pretty much everyone doing remote co-hosting, even the most popular podcasts in the world. One i can think of is TWiT, where if 3 or 4 hosts are on the show they dont always have perfect audio quality because its lots of people, with lots of different set-ups over skype, but as with the WoW Insider show the audio issues dont make that big a deal on the great content.
Secondly, im guesing you know this cos your on the site, but WoW Insider is a blog site, not a broadcasting site.
WoW Radio's been running for 3 years now and all of the hosts have said that they spent alot of money and effort on their audio setup's. In my opinion, some of them actually rival live radio i sometimes listen to.
Now the folks at WoW Insider are actually great speakers on the air, but probably dont spent that much money on their audio setup, because who would spend that much money on something you dont know you'll be on every week, so they dont have the same quailty audio equipment as the wow radio hosts.
WoW Radio have improved the quailty of the podcast through the new archiving methods they have created, but with 2 or 3 people not in the same room ,or not with exactly the same set-ups its not gonna be perfect.
But the show topics are still great and the audio quailty isnt as dire as some people make it out to be, so dont mona so much cos the WoW Radio and WoW Insider folks know what theyre doing.
Also, who doesnt like The T?

Ahh come now Stormtamer, not everyone is up to the standard they need to be to appreciate the pure talent that is Turpster. I can understand that some Yanks might not like his voice but then, you guys aren't in the majority in this case so I think we'll keep him where he is. If anyone thinks they can do a better job than Turpster feel free to submit a demo, and perhaps we'll air that so the listeners can decide of your bark's worse than your bite :)

I am always amazed how people say that PUGs suck almost all the time. I run PUGs almost all the time on US Blackhand and I can only remember a handful PUGs that actually sucked or fell apart without completing the instance or quest. Am I that lucky?
