The Show
All Things Azeroth began in 2004 as the show Midweek Review on WoW Radio, where it lived for many months. Eventually it moved to a more content specific show and transformed into Know Your Role also on WoW Radio. Around the time of the first Blizzcon, the show moved over to a short stint on MMO Radio, before going on to launch as an independent podcast. The Know Your Role podcast was short lived, due to a variety of problems. In the time leading up to the launch of Burning Crusade, Medros, the host, was approached by some long time fans to relaunch the project under a new name, and new style.

All Thing Azeroth had it's first episode released in the hours leading up to the release of Burning Crusade, launching on January 15th, 2007. The first cohost was Lelia, a member of the guild Medros belonged to. Later co hosts would be Sardrissa, and Alyviel, before the current co host was offered the job, Graece. The first episode with Graece as the new co host was the Blizzcon 08 show, covering the news out of the opening ceremony. Two National Podcast Post Months, Two years, and innumerable rough starts, this is All Things Azeroth, Your World of Warcraft Podcast.

Medros
Medros began online gaming in a little known game called World of Pirates, a seafaring MMO out of Germany based on Sid Meier's Pirates! game from 1987, which is how he first created the name Medros, a modified Pedros which was taken in the Spain faction of the game. Beta testing several games back then with a local DJ named Dizz, he eventually came upon a sign up for a small beta test for a game called World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment.

Having been a fan of Warcraft going back to the Warcraft: Orcs and Humans limited trial on a floppy, Medros jumped on the opportunity to get in on this sign up, eventually getting an email in August 2004 offering him a spot in the first stress test. The seven day, turned ten due to natural disaster, stress test introduced Medros to the human race, the Paladin class, and the amazing art of World of Warcraft. Once the stress test ended he stalked the forums for new information about the game and it's many aspects.

Then came a post by a character named Athalus. Ath was looking to start up a WoW based internet radio station, named WoW Radio, and was looking for staff to take the station live. Medros was the first staff member after Athalus himself, also becoming the second show host with the Midweek Review show airing Wednesday night. The station went through many changes in the first year, with such additions as Emperor, Totalbiscuit, and DJ Wheat. The station had many great events like the WoW launch night event, the WoW Idol contest, the attempted takeover by DJ Wheat and company, not to mention the first Blizzcon event in Anaheim.

Eventually Medros left WoW Radio and joined up with MMO Radio, where he did his usual Wednesday night show, now called Know Your Role at that station for a few months before deciding that this company too was not for him. His voice silent for so many months, Medros was convinced to give his show one more try shortly before the launch of Burning Crusade, and with a new co-host, Lelia, on the show, he decided to become less specialized and renamed the show All Things Azeroth. All Things Azeroth was launched on January 15th, 2007, and so began a new era of audio creativity for Medros. With the show running sporadically over the next two years, and serving a myriad variety of co-hosts from Lelia to Sardrissa to Alyviel, and now Graece, the show has had many faces, styles, and frequency.

After two years and over 100 episodes, the show is back on track and with Graece as the new steady co-host, a set production schedule and a quickly growing audience the show is destined to only get better.

Graece
Graece lives near Philadelphia with her husband and five cats. She is a harpist and classical singer. Her non-musical hobbies include WoW, cooking, and making Pysanki (fancy Ukrainian Easter eggs). She is active in the Eastern Orthodox Church, where she sings in the choir and teaches classes for children.

Hi Medros, Hi Graece from the UK.

I play a Dranei Shaman Healer named 'Isankitamato' on the EU Anachronous realm, along with several alts.

Just like to say I've been an avid listener for over a year now and think your podcast is both informative and entertaining.

I've been playing WOW for the last 2 years with my partner who also plays on the same realm.
