As a returning player this show has kept my hype alive
Bad Game0711 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/24
TSZ was as its best when it gave the perspective between a Cutting Edge player and an AOTC player. For the past few years Spencer has been checked out of retail and now mostly plays Classic, and it really shows during the podcast. Very rarely is there any deeper discussion of the game and every...Read full review »

Really informative and easy to follow for a wide range of wow players. There’s no drama or wild blizzard conspiracy theories. It’s just a show for the people who enjoy the game by people who enjoy the game and know how to explain it. Thank you

At the moment I am travelling the (real) world with my bicycle and unfortunately can't play right now. I am a player that usually comes back to WoW every few months since beta and I have never been away for half a year. Spencer and Jason bring me back to Azeroth and its adventures even while...Read full review »

A weekly must for all wow fans. Jason and Spencer distill all of the in-game and out-of-game goings on into a superb summary. Never miss an event, keep up to speed with the latest raid or dungeon pool, and stay prepped for the next patch! Their passion for the game has amped me up for S3 of...Read full review »

I found The Starting Zone last year just before Dragonflight. Shieldwalled and SpencerHD are wonderful hosts. The information and storytelling of their own experiences has helped me to understand many aspects of the game. It is easy to get overwhelmed at the immensity of the World of Warcraft....Read full review »

I’m a returning WOW player. I stopped during WoD. I came back almost a year ago. Upon return I searched out a podcast that might keep me more up to date without having to read boring data sheets. This podcast was more than I could have expected. The positivity that comes out of this podcast is...Read full review »

Simple the best World of Warcraft Podcast out there! Being a player that goes and comes back to this game from time to time this is my “go to” WoW Podcast.

There are none better at breaking down the weekly WoW content you should be paying attention to. These guys rock!
Viator003 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
Hands-down the most informative podcast available for WoW. Not only are Spencer and Jason extremely well-spoken and articulate, but they also give extremely objective commentary on the latest happenings/changes/etc. They are serious enough that the podcast doesn’t come off as a joke, but...Read full review »
Spencer and Jason via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
I’ve been listening to the podcast for a long time now and I always enjoy the practical discussions that Spencer and Jason have around the game and the tips that they offer on a week to week basis.

As a long time player I appreciate the effort Spencer and Jason put into this to keep everyone updated on a weekly basis.

I’ve been a listener for a long time with a break when I stopped playing WoW for a few years. When I picked it back up in 2020, the first thing I did was look this up again and to my surprise, it had new hosts! I was super happy with what I found and have been listening again ever since. I don’t...Read full review »

Fairly new listener. Hooked from first listen! The WoW podcast I didn’t know I needed! And is now my go-to WoW news & discussion. Always look forward to new episodes
technokitty via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/18/23
Spencer does an amazing job to bring you info and keep the show fun. Jason has some good tactics. That being said Jason is a walking contradiction don’t take anything he says too seriously as he will walk it back and change it 180. Overall if you need some quick what’s going on you can get it...Read full review »

I really enjoy Spencer and Jason’s weekly update about what’s going on in World of Warcraft. TSZ has been around forever, and they’ve clearly mastered the format of providing helpful and interesting information for players. Listening to TSZ is a comforting experience. It’s something you know...Read full review »

Great podcast for casual player and to know when to jump back into the game. Was even worth spending 5 minutes figuring out how to review on Apple podcast.
HappyThoughts22 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 09/04/23
Started playing a couple years ago, and coming across TSZ was a big help. I didn’t know some of the information they were covering at first, but the approachable way it was covered made me more interested and gave me starting points to research online. The topics covered here help me feel like...Read full review »

shotgunbill93 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/23
It’s a podcast about a Blizzard product, yet neither Spencer nor Jason has harassed me or touched me inappropriately. Recommended!
Angus McWhomp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/23
Not just the best Warcraft podcast (and I’ve sampled them all)… this stands head and shoulders above all others. Extremely professional and insightful, the hosts strike the perfect balance on topic range and pace of show. Whilst I obtain a lot of my Warcraft information from YouTube, websites,...Read full review »

Getting back into WoW after not playing for a few years and this podcast has been extremely helpful.

Great source of WoW news and discussions, look forward to every episode each week!
jayyced via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/08/23
Spencer and Jason consistently deliver the most thorough, professional and inviting podcast you can find in the WoW community. As an aging Wow player who has dipped in and out of the game since vanilla it’s been difficult to find a podcast that doesn’t treat the listener as a lifelong hardcore...Read full review »
Alex3827292827282929 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/23
This is easily my favorite wow podcast. I’ve learned so much about the game from listening each week. Thank you so much for the time and effort it takes out of your busy lives to make this awesome show. Jobs done.

I’ve recently returned to wow after being gone since cataclysm. Sooo much has changed since I use to play. I really enjoy listening to these two.

Aunnas55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/23
Awesome show you guys do a really amazing job me, my mum, my dad and my partner all play WOW together but it’s nice to have someone who isn’t my mother explain game mechanics to me as a relatively new player! Amazing podcast and you guys do an incredible job.
Geekytez via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/06/23
I spend 2-1/2 hours a day commuting and this is one of my top podcasts I look forward too. It’s great how they gather all the info and break it down for you on what to look for this week and in the upcoming patches. Saves me a lot of time as I don’t have to compile the info or read long articles...Read full review »
BluHawk141 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/23
The structure and personality of this podcast is great. I do believe, however, if this podcast is truly about all things world of Warcraft and the people who play it then it should include more about PVP. Solo shuffle has been almost if not as revolutionary as the introduction mythic plus and...Read full review »

I work weird hours and don’t have time to read and keep up with all the changes in WOW. These guys do a great job of letting me know what all is coming up with gameplay changes and event. I also like that they share news on what all is going on with blizzard itself even if some of that news is...Read full review »

Love these guys. Starting listening about a year ago! Best way to keep up with the game in a timely manner.
KyleSwiss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
There’s no better podcast to keep up-to-date with what’s going on with World of Warcraft. It makes it easy to figure out what I might want to do each week.
Akyan via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/05/23
Love this show! Like most some weeks I struggle to fit as much Warcraft into my life as I’d like - these guys help navigate content, from where should focus farming to big boss tactics. All classes are covered, a must for altaholics and serious raiders alike.

Such a great show for WoW news, tips and tricks relevant to new, novice and seasoned players. I’ve listened to a ton of different podcasts but The Starting Zone is by far the best. Achievement “Have the Best WoW Podcast” completed.

Jason and Spencer hosts the best podcast ever. All aspects of WoW are covered from Mythic+ to casual mog content, and it’s my primary way of keeping up to date with what’s going on in the world. I’m a casual myself mostly due to time constraints but I love feeling plugged into the world we all...Read full review »
