Solo Queue - A World of Warcraft Podcast
A monthly+ podcast about adventuring alone in the World of Warcraft! Host Dave Gagne shares his years in Azeroth steering clear of most group content for various reasons. Why do you adventure alone? Even if you don’t, come for tips on solo play, diving into various aspects of WoW, exploring new and old places in Azeroth and beyond, and even finding your first steps into dungeon and raid content. Stay for the aural ambience, the drink of the month, and WoW news affecting solo players. This podcast adventure is now in its second exciting year! Available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon/Audible, YouTube, Podbean, Goodpods, and many other podcast feeds. To contact, find @soloqueuewow on all socials and at Gmail. I’ll see you out there!
