Great Community-Based Weekly Diablo Podcast

Shattered Soulstone is a good weekly Diablo podcast with a great group that has developed around it. The hosts discuss their experiences and any news related to the Blizzard Diablo game series as well as their miscellaneous activites and stories over the past week. In addition to the show, the hosts and the Shattered Soulstone listeners will team up and play Diablo 3 and various other multiplayer games together. Shattered Soulstone is more than just a podcast; it's a community.

I highly recommend you check it out.

Witch Doctor Hype

Great community podcast for the world that is Santuary and Diablo 3. Keep up the good work guys!!

It's a decent podcast

There isn't a lot of pull me in that this show had to offer. I gave it a solid 10 episodes before I decided to move on. Being a podcasters myself I know it's hard to generate content with something that a company allows to go pretty stagnant with over time. I wanted to enjoy it more but just couldn't. As the new cast settles in and learns their roles more I expect it to be a worthy listen. I shall come back to this one, till then keep it up guys and see you in game.
