Good show, guys....two suggestions, though: 1) IMHO, it's okay to go past an hour if you have good content. I'd rather you go longer than skip good stuff just to keep to a time limit. And 2) the technical weirdness is really off-putting. Due respect, but it doesn't sound very - professional. I don't mean to compare you guys to the Instance, but, while they're certainly not perfect, I never hear technical problems to this level on that show. Maybe there's a better way to set up your podcast network behind the scenes to cut down on the delays and other technical weirdness? That'd be fantastic. Thanks, guys! Keep up the great show!

That Internet connection was horrible! Get some professionalism and start recording audio locally at ALL computers, so that everyone on the podcasts has a file with their own voice only, so that later you can mix it all together (after adjusting volume and timing) with some basic stereo positioning (so there is a feeling of people talking to each other in a space instead of in your head) and without these god awful dropouts or noises or half the sound chopping off when two or more people talk at the same time. If you are talking over each other, I want to be able to hear both people talking.
Really guys, it is not that hard - get everyone to install something like Jokosher and spend a few minutes on mixing.

I haven't listened to this week's episode yet, but I know I've spent the better part of the podcast cursing the quality of the recording. I couldn't help but scream "SPEAK UP MAT" during the live show recording because Mat was so damned soft.
Also, as someone that has recorded a podcast for a major media company, I back you up Aigarius. We tried one or two weeks recording off Skype/iChat/whatever we were trying to conference with and came to the conclusion that local recording for each participant is a must, ESPECIALLY if one of your hosts has a bad connection and you know it.
Yes, assembling those tracks afterward is a pain in the butt. Yes, it means you may have to mess with levels for each track. Yes, you may have to introduce delays to cover up some timing problems, but your listener is much happier for it.

Great show, but as others have said, the technical issues make me hate it when Sacco talks. I'm an avid fan and listen every week, this was by far the worst week. I know you guys have talked about Sacco getting new internet and I hope that fixes the problem because that was frustrating to listen to.
2nd, for those of you who haven't gone to defeat Sinestra, I'd say it's worth going back and doing after you get some Firelands done. Maybe you reach a roadblock in Firelands, go back and kill some Sinestra, you'll be glad you experienced the fight.

Vashj'ir's music is seriously underrated. It's wonderfully evocative.

Oh man, the Mickey Mouse Ragnaros bit had me very nearly falling on the floor with laughter.
