- Not to be confused with the Raid Warning chat channel that Blizzard had added which enables players to display warnings to a raid in the center of the screen.
Started in May of 2009, Raid Warning is a weekly World of Warcraft podcast hosted by Seven and Brian and produced by their multimedia production company Caution4. Each week they take you on a drunken romp through the World of Warcraft, covering in-game news, off-beat stories, and talk about life as an adult WoW player. The podcast is very explicit and aimed at adults only.
The podcast is available via iTunes, Zune Marketplace, Mininova.org, and RSS.
