TalkShoe - Typical Mac User Podcast
Monday, October 30, 2006 at 1:26PM
My good friend Victor over at the Typical Mac Podcast Typical Mac Podcast invited me to take part in a new experiment he ran last night!
There's a new interactive podcast service called Talkshoe
and Victor had setup a trial show last night. The only problem was that the show was due for 8:30pm EST which works out to 1:30am UK time but it sounded a blast so a few strong coffees later I was all setup.
The service looks pretty damm cool! The host creates a show and announces when it's available. You basically signup for a free Talkshoe account and download some software. When the show is live you can phone in using a LandLine or Skype. The Talkshoe client software opens up a multilayer chatroom that allows the participants to text chat with the other attendees whilst listening to the show.
What's even cooler is that the host can invite listeners to join in the conversation via the client software. It worked amazing well!
Victor did an amazing job of co-ordinating the calls and the chat room, I was very impressed! I even had a go at joining in with the conversation all the way from the UK via Skype. The sound quality was excellent with virtually no latency. There was also some guys on from Talkshoe who gave some interesting background to the development of the product.
You can listen to the recorded show: here or download it! Look for Past Episodes and it's the show 10/29/06 08:30 PM EST
I'll try and stay up again next week to participate in the show so I might speak to you then :-)

hey, sounds great. video as well? - if not try the link below.
Us videobloggers have been doing something similar for a while using
http://www.flashmeeting.com/ you should check it out sometime. We are on the videobloggers group on google and all the times of the video sessions are posted on there.
Something like screencasts would go down very well using this so people could ask questions. :)
Cheers
