TechGrumps 24: its all change at the bottom…

So after so many Techgrumps we are changing it up…

Fear not, you weekly (come forth-nightly) podcast is not going anywhere. Instead we’re opening up the format much more that it was ever. So for the first time, we invite you the audience to tell us what you think around a couple subjects and if its clever, engaging and funny we’ll ask you on our new regular recording slot of late Thursday night.

To kick off, our first open cast… We propose a few interesting stories…

  • All change at the top – changes at google and apple
  • Online dating experiences – is it all crap, funny or just shocking?
  • The operating system for the parents? – which one are they running and why?
  • TED is dead, so whats next?

Of course although these will make up the show, we expect we’ll take our own usual rolling route through the stories and take any route we choose or follow to get through them. Basically this is a rough outline and things may change in the course of the recording. What we’re saying is your personality and opinions can really change the flow of the podcast and of course thats a good thing.

Use the comments till fill in your thoughts and of course your skype name if your interested in being on next Thursday (27th Jan)
