Freckleface talks about her love of pet battles in Warcraft, as well as how her role has changed on Hearthcast over the years, and how to balance the work load between co-hosts.

Episode 026: Nonmail on Nonmailsnutz

grandoldpodcast@gmail.com (Sayomara Vesper) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:59:00 -0700

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 like Wowcohol 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 show The 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.

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.
