A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thank you to Spencer and Jason for your weekly efforts in getting our WoW community the information we need when we’re away from our computers. I’m a weekly listener and you both do a great job of making your listeners feel like part of your community. I look forward to the release of every show and I hope the podcast has a long life ahead of it.

They do such a thorough job covering everything happening in wow each week. I feel so informed listening to the show. And they’ve both been playing so long that their insights are always so thoughtful and informative. Keep up the great work Jason and Spencer!

TSZ is the WoW podcast that has kept me updated for years. They stick to an excellent weekly format to stay up to date with what’s happening in WoW every week

Affiiance · Oct 2025

I appreciate the depth of detail they go into each week about what is going on in the game that week. As a busy adult it’s hard to stay on top of the weekly happenings in the game and this podcast has helped me greatly.
