We're still reveling in the joy and novelty of twenty years ago in WoW: Forever . For this week's pod cohosts -- Liz, Joe, and Cory -- it's both a nostalgia bomb, and a…
Nov 12, 2026 · 34:03
We've got a pretty special Tavern Watch episode for you today, folks. It's no secret that those of us who've gotten our hands on the D&D: World of Warcraft book have been pretty…
Nov 6, 2026 · 1:03:59
WoW: Forever begins now -- or a couple days ago? Time is immaterial to this podcast. But as it releases, the cohosts (and this week's guest host Cory) take a moment to chat about…
Oct 30, 2026 · 1:13:59
Before we say our goodbyes, there was a lot of WoW stuff to discuss, including the Forever naming window, which did not go smoothly. Joe explains why this is actually a good…
Oct 23, 2026 · 1:08:42
Hallow's End has begun in World of Warcraft , and with it comes all our old haunts, plus a ton of content for our Player Housing neighborhoods. After all, the best part of the…
Oct 16, 2026 · 1:08:01
This week is patch 12.1.5 in World of Warcraft , which isn't a big patch but it has some story content we aren't happy about and Labyrinths that we are happy about. Plus huge…
Oct 9, 2026 · 1:00:50
This week the crew is joined by Lore Watch co-host Eric O'Dea, and it's great that he's here, because this week was all about end game. No, not raiding, though Sunder Armor is…
Oct 2, 2026 · 1:08:19
Fresh off a triumphant return last week, Cory is back to discuss Heroes of the Storm again. There's a bit more to discuss, as a new Hero also means fixes, but we started the show…
Sep 25, 2026 · 1:08:25
This week marks 600 episodes of the Blizzard Watch Podcast, so instead of just one guest host, Cory, Liz Patt, and Mitch all joined Liz Harper, Joe, and Matt to celebrate. One of…
Sep 18, 2026 · 2:01:27
BlizzCon just wrapped, and so there is so much to talk about we couldn't pack it all into an hour. We spent around an hour on WoW Forever , the new Classic+ that was rumored and…
Sep 11, 2026 · 1:16:40
This week we're counting it down til BlizzCon, which is happening any minute now. Editor-in-chief Liz talks a little strategy for our coverage, while we're mostly just excited…
Sep 4, 2026 · 1:09:33

Aug 28, 2026 · 1:08:23

Aug 21, 2026 · 1:05:21
Liz, a person who has a legitimate phobia of snakes, is rather emphatically not enjoying the Coiled Isle. Now that she's had time with the patch, she can confirm that she hates…
Aug 14, 2026 · 1:08:51
Our favorite things about World of Warcraft patch 12.1 are mostly related to Player Housing, if we're being for real. There are other things to look forward to — raids, delves,…
Aug 7, 2026 · 1:05:34
There have been few hopes dashed harder than when Matt looked at our topics and thought for a brief, shining moment that maybe dyes were coming to transmog, and not just staying…
Jul 31, 2026 · 1:05:40

Jul 24, 2026 · 57:17
We hope you got your fill of both the gameplay and the Player Housing rewards from Decor Duels, because they're going away in World of Warcraft patch 12.1. Well, you may be able…

We kick off this week's show talking about the new Corrosive items coming in WoW patch 12.1, and reminiscing about the good ol days when our buddies would stack insane amounts of…
Jul 10, 2026 · 1:00:10
The new Zul'jan quest line just went live, so we're looking forward to World of Warcraft patch 12.1, which includes a new Player Housing exterior. Maybe. We hope. And we're not…
Jul 3, 2026 · 1:02:30
We are jumping right in to Turbulent Timeways this week, which have returned until August. It's a great time to level an alt, before we roll into patch 12.1 and all its trolly…
Jun 26, 2026 · 1:00:43
Do you remember how last week we were talking about how voidy and purple the Midnight expansion has been? Well, hold on to your shorts, because patch 12.1 has been announced and…
Jun 19, 2026 · 56:39
If you thought the purplest expansion couldn't get purpler, patch 12.0.7 of World of Warcraft proves us all wrong with yet another Void-themed event. When do all these void…
Jun 12, 2026 · 1:04:19
We start off this week's podcast talking about a few upcoming things we've already sort of discussed -- WoW patch 12.0.7 is coming next week, as is the next season of Overwatch .…
Jun 5, 2026 · 1:05:09
Because of the Blizzard Watch Site Curse, the day after we recorded the podcast, the release date for patch 12.0.7 was announced, because that's just how that works. It's June…
May 29, 2026 · 1:09:13
We start off this week's show with a shoutout to much of the Wowhead content team, who were laid off from ZAM. We have a lot of fond memories with them, not to mention their…

This week we tell Crest Caps to rest in pieces as Blizzard lifts them a bit early in this opening section of Midnight . Joe gets salacious about addons and new functionality on…
May 15, 2026 · 1:16:22
Because Cory has the courage to say that, quote, "bugs are bad. I'm glad they got fixed," that is the theme of this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast. Well, not all of them are…
May 8, 2026 · 1:05:27
We're speculating on WoW patch 12.0.7 and beyond, now that the preview for said patch has been released. That leads us to a certain ominous island off the coast of Zul'Aman that…
May 1, 2026 · 1:06:12

Mar 27, 2026 · 59:05
This was the first week of Midnight Season 1, so we started off talking about the new dungeons and raids -- and what we got in our first Great Vault of Midnight . Our hosts that…
Mar 20, 2026 · 1:14:30
Liz Patt took a spin in the hosting chair for the first time this week, with Joe and Liz and Cory on board to keep her on her toes. The raid schedule for Midnight is enough to…
Mar 13, 2026 · 1:06:30
Midnight released last week, so this week our podcast crew shared their first impressions of the expansion. While most of their experiences have been positive, there were a few…
Mar 6, 2026 · 1:09:21
Midnight , the latest expansion for World of Warcraft , released this week, so that's most of our discussion. We tried to keep it spoiler free, but it's kind of hard when you…
Feb 27, 2026 · 1:02:35
Midnight releases into early access later this week, and then full release next week, so for now the crew is pretty much just in waiting mode. Even if you didn't get early…
Feb 20, 2026 · 1:02:20
There's always a lot of news to discuss, but this week there was specifically a lot of news to discuss for all the very best Diablo games: Diablo 2 , Diablo 4 , Diablo Immortal ,…
Feb 13, 2026 · 1:00:04

Jan 24, 2026 · 1:06:17
Midnight 's prepatch kicked off this week, and we're talking Player Housing Neighborhood Endeavors -- in part because we hadn't seen much of them until now. We'll give you the…
Jan 16, 2026 · 1:09:45
We're waiting on a whole lot this week -- servers to come up for the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary realms pre-patch, and for the Midnight pre-patch next week, and all the…
Jan 9, 2026 · 1:01:07
It's 2026, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. We start off with a new Hearthstone gatcha promotion, and follow it up with yet another splinter version of…
Jan 2, 2026 · 1:13:32
This week we're looking back at the events of 2025, with our special guest Phil Ulrich. Rather than going at it chronologically, Matt consults a D8, which means we discuss one of…

Oct 31, 2025 · 1:06:37

Aug 1, 2025 · 1:02:12
Cory joined us for this week's show, and by coincidence there was also a Heroes of the Storm patch the day they recorded. What are the odds? Not very good, if you ask Cory. There…
