Talkshoe

So, I just discovered Talkshoe.com eh, about 2-3 months ago, and let me tell you, I am addicted. I found it when I started listening to the maccast loop podcast which is a live podcast that is done every Sunday at 1pm est. at Talkshoe, and ever since then if I have some freetime then I am on Talkshoe looking for a "Live Now" show to listen to and participate in. 

It is so cool, long gone are the days of old fashioned talk radio, where you have to call in from a phone, and wait for the host to put you on the show before you can talk. 

Now with Talkshoe, it is the same idea, you can call in either through, your normal phone, or you can use VOIP like Skype, or they have this new feature where you can call in straight from the Talkshoe chat client without having to worry about Skype, or a phone line. 

That is the other feature of Talkshoe that I absolutely love, is the chat client that Talkshoe provides. This is what makes it so unique and different from just good ol' fashioned talk radio, you can participate in the show without even coming on the phone and verbally talking. 

Usually if it is a fairly well-known show then there are at least 5-7 people in the chat room that are listening to the show that you can talk to and connect with. And then if you would like to call in and participate in the show verbally then that is very easy as well. 

So, I just got done listening to one of my favorite talkshoe shows which is "OneGeekandaMicrohpone" (www.onegeekandamicrophone.com) and it is a fairly well-known show, but not so well-known that it is impossible to call in and talk. It is a very relaxed setting and you can just talk about whatever you want. 

So, I've said all that to just let you all know that Talkshoe.com is an awesome tool and you should head on over there and search for a show of your interest and then find out when the next live show is, and then just go and participate. 

Also, I said all that to say that I am thinking about starting a talkshoe show, and I want to know what you all think about the idea. I would like a way for you all to be able to call-in and participate live in the show. If you think this would be a good idea let me know, and tell me what time and day would work best for you as a listener. We could talk about whatever you want, seeing as the original JSquared Podcast is pretty general and we cover a wide variety of topics, we could talk about whatever your little heart desires. 

So some feedback on this idea would be great. It is preferred that you leave a comment right here on the post on the blog, that way everyone can read it, or if you prefer you can email your feedback to jsquaredpodcast@gmail.com

Thanks, and hope you all are having a glorious Monday, yay, o and as I mentioned in the previous post we will be getting out another episode before me and Josh leave for school, so be looking for that.
