A Change is a Comin'

I don’t know why that old gospel hymn popped into my head as the title for this post, but it did, so there you have it.  Lots of changes for me in the coming months – both personal and professional.  As I’ve mentioned before I’ll be buying a house and dealing with all that moving stuff.  I’m settling into the first busy season in my new role at work. And for the big news, I’ve joined Broken Eggs Media’s (BEM) World of Warcraaft Podcast.

Yep, that’s right.  Even though my personal podcast faded quickly enough, I had the balls to join a weekly WOW Podcast.  One of the current co-hosts is leaving the show to spend more time on personal pursuits, creating a vacancy that will be filled by me, beginning on next week’s show.  As to be expected, I’m both excited and nervous.  It’s one thing to fling my nonsense up on the internet to my few, but wonderful listeners.  It’s a whole other story to broadcast out to thousands of players.  Hopefully, the chemistry will be right and I’ll be a good addition for the trio.

Given that I’m also playing LOTRO, I’m hoping to coax BEM into also doing a podcast for LOTRO. How on earth would I fit two shows into my busy work schedule, hectic life, alter ego episodes in MMORPGs and my misadventures with The Sims 2 Seasons? I have no flippin’ idea.  I’m always short on time but never on cahones.

Please wish me luck and be sure to tune in!  If you’d like a LOTRO podcast post a comment as a vote here.  Let’s show some numbers and start chattin’ up Middle Earth too!  Feel free to send me WOW Podcast specific email to: Lauren@wowpodcast.com.

See you in the funny papers.

Good Luck! If your pod casts are half as good as your posts, then you will do just fine. :)

Gratz on the new position/podcast. I might have to re-subscribe to these guys if you are going to be a regular on the show. Sorry to see your personal podcast has fizzled out. Wherever you decide to podcast, your voice/opinion will be appreciated.

I believe there is a bit of controversy in the history of this particular podcast. They had an original set of hosts who split with the podcast producers after about 10 episodes or so. The original hosts went on to make their own show (The Maelstrom I believe). I dont remember if they were explicit as to why they split with BEM but I think it might have been over the gold/power leveling advertisements on the website. I checked out the BEM website and there are gold/power leveling adverts currently running on various pages (saw one on the forum intro). How do you feel about this?

Thanks Wolf. Thanks Shel. With my podcast it was so much work just doing the 15 minutes. I couldn't fill up any more time, even though I really tried. An hour of recording kept netting just 15-20 minutes of content.

Last night we recorded our first show together and I think it went well. :-)

Loved hearing you on BEM, thought you were gone for good. I would love a LOTRO podcast. It has stolen me from WoW. Goodluck
