An exciting step for the show has happened!  You can now listen live every Saturday night at 8pm Eastern Standard Time via Skypecasts.  To listen live you need the newest version of Skype.  Currently Skypecast does not offer a static page for Skypecasts, therefore I cannot give you a solid link to the Skypecast page or a specific number to dial into.  For this reason, to join the Skypecast, go to https://skypecasts.skype.com and in the search box type Tech Stew.  Simply click “Join Now” when the Skypecast is going live.  You may want to check during the week to make sure it will still be at 8pm.  If something ever were to come up, I may change the time of the Skypecast.  With the addition of Skypecast, this will allow all of you listeners to give input during the show and to speak.  Hopefully that will add an exciting twist to the show.  If you have any problems, just shoot me an email and I’ll try to help.  Also, hopefully soon I’ll also be adding a live broadcast feed to the website so you can listen live with WMP, Winamp, or iTunes.  I’ll keep you posted!
