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 casual play, 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 third 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!

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
