About the Show
Outlandish is probably one of the most controversial/explicit podcasts dedicated to World of Warcraft. It consists of four segments: 1) previous week, 2) news, 3) community and "3.5")Off-topic. The segments are separated by commercials representing addons that the hosts enjoy or made-up commercials for current events in-game. They currently do a "season" of 10 episodes and then a ".5" episode where they discuss off-topic subjects.
They maintain a website and forums (links below) and the show is distributed through iTunes and by RSS feed. The show has been featured on the front page of iTunes and is currently one of the 10 most popular World of Warcraft podcasts.
Outlandish is rated M for Mature. It is meant to be listened to by a mature audience or at least one that does not mind profanity and the discussion of everything explicit.

Over the years they covered World of Warcraft less and less in favor of off-topic subjects, at some point voicing their lack of interest in WoW and the podcast as a whole.
