I, Epicinsanity, have received a lot of questions as of late about the future of the podcast and where things will go next. So I figured instead of going through and trying to answer each one of them on an individual basis, I would just take it to this blog post in order to answer most of them.

I know what you are thinking, a podcast about answering listeners questions in dodging the questions!? That’s not it at all, it’s just easier if I am open about the plans that I have in store when it comes to Epic Questions.

The show will be moving from a two person conversation, to a single voice podcast for now. I personally know its hard for people to listen to one person talk on a podcast for long period of time, and also its hard to produce content that people want to listen to if I don’t spice it up a little bit. While I search for someone to fill the co-host position on the show, I don’t want to be rushed to just have someone. I want someone who people enjoy listening to, has a passion for World of Warcraft, and has a different perspective than my own when it goes to everything within the game.

You may be asking yourself, but what about the whole “two different perspectives to each and every listener submitted questions?” That’s not going to change. In order to bring different perspectives, I am going to increase the number of guest hosts that will be on the show, but I am going to throw a twist into the mix when it comes to the guest host list I am creating. I want to know the person, or people, YOU the listener wants to hear on the show. After all, this podcast is 100% fueled by what YOU want to hear about. You are in the driver’s seat. For example, if you have a guild member, a friend, a podcaster, a blogger, a streamer, etc. who has a different, or unique perspective on everything within World of Warcraft, those are the types of people I want to have on the show. After all, we have stressed since day one that we are the podcast for the everyday gamer, so let’s interview them!

I will also be adding a few new segments/parts of the show in order to add a … wait for it… Epic twist to the show. I want to do things you have never heard before, or adding a twist to an existing idea.

In future shows, you will hear a “Tin Foil Hat” segment where myself, and/or a guest host or two, take a question and go a little bit further into the stipulation side of things. Already sick of people talking about Subscription drops? Don’t worry, I won’t be talking about them unless I have something else to say, or bring to the table.

Another segment/part of the show I would like to add is “Trolling the Forums.” This is a segment is actually inspired by Esmerelda Sky from the Casually Casual Cast. I will be going to the general forums each week on Sunday and posting a question to spark/facilitate a conversation. I will take the different perspectives from the forum responses, and discuss them on the show. I won’t be “trolling” the forums, just digging for conversation on things I feel like need to be talked about, or questions that have been submitted by YOU the listener.

I have a few other ideas up my sleeves including the possibility of doing a weekly live stream, a video blog, BlizzCon interaction (I want to meet YOU, even if you don’t want to meet me!), and more secret projects involving you the everyday World of Warcraft gamer/listener into the creation and production of the show. After all, it is a podcast for YOU the listener.

As Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Change can be scary for those involved, but it doesn’t mean it has to ruin what has already been established just add to it. So I ask you to hang in there, as we take this journey together. The sky is the limit, and I’m shooting for the stars and I’m excited for the things to come, but I know that I want you there with me!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening.
