We’re changing the schedule of the show!  We will now have a daily show (Monday through Friday) that records between 4pm and 6pm EST.  We will also have the Sunday show as a general recap of the major tech trends, events, and news.  We’re still working on when the Sunday will be recorded.  Stay tuned to the blog for more info.

Live streaming will be available in the coming weeks.  Please be patient with us as we’re ironing out the quality of the show and want it to be top notch before we begin to stream live
