Been only listening to WowInsider and Blueplz, and am interested in kinda "lore-only" or mostly lore podcasts. any recommendations?

Lore Stories is an awesome lore only podcast. Avaliable on iTunes, check it out.

Mr. Robot hangs out on another podcast! This week: Leetsauced - boy
those guys were a lot of fun... and shame on us at Team Robot for
basically getting stumped on the question, "How do you survive the
Robot Uprising?" But, Yellowsix did pull through with an amazing
Zombie Survival plan!

Is it me or is the WoW podcast 'market' over saturated? There's so many podcasts out there that claims to do something different but at the core is really just a group of friends talking on mumble or what have you. I now just mainly listen to two podcasts: WoW Insider (for news) and Blue Plz! (for commentary).
Please do not interpret this comment as me ripping on people who make WoW podcasts. I understand that making podcasts is a lot of work and I respect you guys for putting in the effort. This is just one man's opinion. If anyone else has an opinion on this subject matter, please respond to my comment.

Sky,
Most hosts are friends (it's hard to talk to someone you hate for hours) but on our podcast we stay focused on 3 key things:Making money in game, raiding both casual and advanced, and how to navigate the changes upcoming to the game.
We're both Finance graduates from Penn State; there are a huge number of advanced economic concepts we can convert to gaming, because at it's core, Wow's Auction House is a miniature economic simulator. Something must be working, because we have over 1 million gold to our names and every tip and trick we do in the AH, we share with the listeners.
Chris was previsouly in a top 50 raiding guild, and is used to being on the cutting edge of raiding which makes me the casual one, I suppose. I show people who are casual how to get the most out oftheir playtime, how to find rare and unusual pets and items, and basically how to play the game effectively on your own schedule.
We also keep people up to date on patch notes, and how they will affect you BEFORE they happen so you don't get caught napping. We help people know what to buy and what to ditch long in advance of the date, taking advantage of being the first to market with your new niche or idea.
We don't read patch notes verbatim, we don't talk RP, we don't discuss lore (much, other to tell you that's what Wowwiki is for), and we certainly don't do the segment I call "Pointless Wish Fulfullment" which is where two podcast hosts spend 30 minutes or more discussing ideas they wish Blizzard would do, but never will. We're much more realisitic than that.
Anyway, we get whispers ingame from listeners telling us how much gold they have made (sometimes in direct competition of us, which we are fine with), how our analysis has helped them, and how they laughed at such-and such a segment. We're both humbled and impressed by the activity of our listeners.
I have spent a lot of time listening to the competition, and what we do isn't out there. If there was, I would just listen to it. If you know sports, we're basically the Mike and Mike of Warcraft. (My cohost is the big Mike, I'm the small Mike.)
You can see our reviews on iTunes. We're always near the bottom in the podcast listings thanks to our podcast starting with W, but once people find us they do stick around.
Thanks,
Ryan Carlin
Co-Host, Warcraft Lounge.
P.S. According to iTunes, most of our listeners also subscribe to the Instance.
