They start off with a discussion on the music of  WoW , spurred by the inclusion of Player Housing decor, and how Taurens all got drums. It evolves from there, to discuss how the themes present within in-game music mirror real life music characteristics. Then, they pivot to more Void vs Light in a continuation from last week, and how those forces might shape both the world we play in, and Anduin and how his characterization may continue forward. The last question involves the discussion of source influences on  WoW , from Arthurian Legend through Tolkien, and then we come back to music. However, now the topic is basically the soundtrack to  Stranger Things . If you want even more background story, we also have  a guide to every  Warcraft  book in chronological order  (for those of you who prefer reading that way). If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.
