Wow man... amazing job of keeping that all roughly coherent. I thought for sure that train was going off the tracks at a couple of points but no casualties recorded. All of your guests were great. I hope you consider doing additional "follow up" lore episodes in the future...
This was just pure entertainment for anyone interested in the world of Tyria. Listening to this episode and then doing some reading on the official wiki would be a great way for anyone wanting to learn more about Tyria and it's peoples.

Great great podcast. Love the effort you put into this, and Bridger, you are a natural presenter. Love it, and appreciate it, and hope you continue for many years to come after GW2 comes out. Maybe ingame casting?
Thanks EveningStar. There definitely are plans to cast some GW2 matches assuming we get a good spectator mode!
Really well made podcast. Your guests were as amazin as you. ;) Thanks for all the infos you provided, I mean i knew some things you told, but there were many new information.
I just have one question: You offer an interavtive comment section during your podcast and I really would love to ask you questions in your futures ones, but there is a "little" problem. As far as I am in Europe in the UTC+1 Zone, I would have to watch your show at 2am my time, that's pretty late. Could you maybe sometimes a podcast, so that your european fans don't have to wake in the middle of the night?
If not, it is ok, still can watch the record. Glad you are amking this, is really cool! ;)
It just so happens that this show (the lore show) was recorded early because we had a European guest. It might be something we can do in the future, but not super often. I like to prep before the show and that takes an hour or two, and that means my sunday is basically *over* at 6pm (2 hours before the show). This still allows me some time during the morning/afternoon to take care of things on my day off or hang out with friends. But if the show started 4 hours earlier on a regular basis I would basically lose my entire sunday :(
sure, I understand your point, it was just a question, If it is not possible, then ok, maybe I'll have once time to watch your show live (though I'd have to wake up 2am xD)
Or it would be great, if you would make once a month, every two month a show, where your viewers can send your question and you pick the best and just talk about them, just an idea
ps: thx for your fast respond ;)
I have already receommended your podcast to some friends ;)
I just had a chance to listen to this one on my way home this morning and all I can say is Great f'n job. This was a fantastic podcast and had me entertained during the entire show. Thank you so much for doing this, for one who has never fully played GW1 this helped a ton.
Thanks Thragos, that was my hope :)
Excellent job, keep it up please. Congrats for your hones.t effort into clarifying things up for the community
