So, in one of the latest editions of the Virgin Worlds ‘cast Brent mentioned a new Warhammer Online podcast that he found really awesome after just one episode. Being a WAR fancier myself, I decided to check it out, and went on over to the website for Warhamma. Then I downloaded it on iTunes. Over the last week of gym-going I’ve listened to all three ‘casts, and I can now confirm that my friend Brent is *not* crazy here: Warhamma is really quite good.

I’m not going to say I was hooked from episode one … Ted still clearly had some fine details to get right. But the presentation was there, and his voice is really easy to listen to. By episode two, the slight audio hitching had been taken care of, and by episode three he had a really nice product on offer. I would like to heartily add my voice to Brent’s recommendation that you listen to Warhamma the podcast. My biggest hurrah about the podcast? It’s short! The average episode so far is about twenty minutes. Ted knows that the best thing to do is say your piece and then shut the hell up. Brilliant.

I even actually learned some stuff since Ted takes time to read through forums and junk, stuff I just don’t have the time/resources to do. In episode two he breaks down some revelations from a recent developer chat, and in episode three he describes the information from a recent beta update post to the Warhammer Herald, as well as an E For All interview. Hell, I’d read the Warhammer Herald stuff and I still learned something.

Episode four just went up today, so you even have fresh content to consume!

Just … Ted … buddy … one thing. You are never allowed to try to imitate an English accent ever again. It sort of veered drunkenly from Australian to … maybe Czech? I dunno. Anyway, don’t do that again. Please. Ever. And that really is Paul Barnett’s blog. If you want to hear what the funny English man actually sounds like, I can help with that.

Edit: Ted! Ted, Ted, Ted! Sorry Ted! :)
