I’m not going to spend these words or your time with a feature list or by collecting the details that one can easily find at the excellent Wowinsider, or just about any other Blizzard related website.

WOWCodex Podcast: Episode 7

What happened to our notes!? Oh no, looks like we’ll have to scramble through our chat logs for a skit and what’s with all that mic noise Hallus! Sorry folks, he promises to kick himself until he gets it fixed for next week. The treebranch that exploded his water soaked all the preparation for this week’s show, so we completely wing it. It was all part of Illumyn’s malicious plot to take over our show! What do you mean you’d rather listen to her anyway? *cries* Okay, we’ll try to make up for it next week!
