Choose Your Own Anniversary!

Believe it or not, Ophelie and I uploaded our very first episode of the Double O Podcast on April 3rd, 2011, which means that we have been in the business of podcasting for a full year!

While we may not always record as often as we would like to, we are proud to say that we truly enjoy doing what we do and that we stand behind every show that we put out there.  It has been a wild ride and we are just getting started.

With that said – we need some help planning our next episode, which is going to be a very special one year anniversary show.  Ophelie and I decided that we would leave it up to our listeners or our readers to decide who gets to break bread with us on the next show.  You may choose any of our previous guests that we have had on the Double O Podcast before, and assuming that they agree to come back and that we can line up our schedules we will make it happen.

The top 4 people who receive your votes will be asked to join us on our anniversary show, where we will catch up with them and see what they have been up to since we last spoke with them, and we might even give them a chance to turn the tables on us and tell us what they think we should talk about on the show.

Without further ado, here is the list of previous guests, in order of appearance:

- Lady Erinia (“Hooked.”)
- Codi (“Getting Down To Business.”)
- Cynwise (“Cyn, Lose, or Draw.”)
- Vidyala (“O Chat With A Side of V.”)
- Vosskah (“O Chat With A Side of V,” and “Tank N’ Spank.”)
- Markco (“Copper For Your Thoughts.”)
- Fannon (“Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested.”)
- Hydra (“Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested.”)
- Christine (“Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested.”)
- Ceraphus (“Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested.”)
- Frostsorrow (“Tank N’ Spank.”)
- Arielle (“Tank N’ Spank.”)
- Miri (“Tank N’ Spank.”)
- Lodur (“Blinded by the Lightwell.”)
- Lynesta (“Blinded by the Lightwell.”)
- Jasyla (“Blinded by the Lightwell.”)
- Danslatable (“Blinded by the Lightwell.”)
- Thespius (“Chicken Soup for the Casual Raid Leader’s Soul.”)
- Psynister (“Eat, Game, Love.”)
- Fynralyl (“Eat, Game, Love.”)
- Stubborn (“Animal Attraction.”)

Go ahead. Pick four – any four.

Episode 12: Chicken Soup For The Casual Raid Leader’s Soul

And we’re back with Episode 12! We actually recorded this the night before Oestrus and I left for BlizzCon, but due to me being on the road for the two weeks after BlizzCon, I couldn’t get this up until now.

Back in Episode 6, we spoke about guild and raid leading from a more progression-oriented point of view. This time, we wanted a different perspective. If we believe the statistics that Blizzard keeps throwing at us, then less progressive raiding is the majority, yet we rarely hear about it.

We figured we would remedy that.

We sought out Thespius, who for a few years has been one of the leading voices of “more casual” raid leading, notably through his work at World of Matticus (and as his guildie, I knew he was good XD) and talk about the meaning of “casual raiding”, recruiting, keeping raiders interested, dealing with those who use “casual” as an excuse to be unreliable, handling busy real life schedules, and more!
