A trio of appearances to let you know about.

-Later today I’m headed back to Vocalo.org as part of that month-long series of interviews I’m doing with them. You can listen online there or at 89.5 FM in Chicago. I actually have two more appearances left on the station (planned, anyway — I may try to do more with them while I’m still in Chicago). Today at 4pm I’ll be on with a pro gamer named Erik Stromberg, a.k.a. “da_bears,” talking about what it’s like being on the pro Counterstrike circuit, and the history of pro gaming in general.

-And then next week I’ll be back on (next Wednesday at 4pm) with something a little different: we’re going to be running a World of Warcraft instance live on the air. Well, I’ll be running it, with a few guildies, and the host will tune in some audio while we do it. It should be a singular experience for everyone involved — whether you run instances all the time in WoW or have never heard of this before, it should be a really interesting listen. I’ll be playing the game live on the air, and they’ll periodically come to me and I’ll give updates on what we’re doing in the game: downing bosses or divvying up loot or what have you. Should be fun — I’ll post more about it on WoW.com before it goes down.

-And finally, though I actually forgot I agreed to do this, and they haven’t mentioned it much, I will be on the Twisted Nether Blogcast at the end of this week. Fimlys and Nibuca are two of the more impressive personalities in the WoW community, and I’m honored to finally chat with them on their show. I have no idea what we’ll be talking about, but I’m sure we’ll chat about WoW.com and my history with the site, and of course the game and how/why I play it. And I’m sure they’ll dig up something i posted on the Internet long ago that I completely forgot about — not only is that something they seem to do with guests (always with interesting consequences), but I’ve got a nice long archive of posts for them to dig through. Should be a lot of fun, and I’ll get to test out my new Snowball mic on Skype to see if it makes a difference there as well.

So there you go. I’ll still have my usual podcasty stuff — the WoW Insider Show hits its 100th episode this week, and I’m sure we’ll have some fun there on Saturday afternoon as well. But in case you haven’t heard enough of me lately, there’s a few more chances to tune in and/or say hi.
