Live from land of soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, it’s the Philly Tech Guys…

The Philly Tech Guys crew:

Keith Albright from the Mind Of Root podcast

Paul Rj Muller from the CaffiNation podcast

Mike Smith from the Mike Tech Show 

Steve Cherubino from the Podnutz and Podnutz Daily podcast 

Hit the Mike Tech Show UStream channel to view the live broadcast at 3pm ET today.

I had the opportunity to participate in the very first Philly Tech Guys roundtable podcast this past Saturday.  Mike Smith from the Mike Tech Show organized and produced the whole show and it was great.  Steve Cherubino from the Podnutz and Podnutz Daily podcasts rounded out the cast and we had a good time talking about independent consulting and handling issues related to being the go-to geek for family and friends.

We hope to do this monthly and Steve has setup a Philly Tech Guys site where the show will likely move.   The next Philly Tech Guys show is scheduled to record on September 6th, 2008 live at Podcamp Philly 2008.  Paul Muller from the Caffination podcast will be there as well.  The show will be streamed live on uStream.tv and I’ll post the exact time as soon as it is known.

Mike released the audio as show #199 through his podcast feed.  Take a listen here.  You can also watch the show as recorded on UStream.tv.  I’m the doofus in the red shirt with the antique laptop.

Steve and I were discussing on Episode 59 which podcasts we consume.  Here is a list of the shows on my iPod (Broken down as audio or video podcast) and I have included links to the shows site where I can:

This is our second experiment with a live forum.  Things didn’t work so well with the Skype conference call and we don’t know why.  I figured I’d give UStream a try since so many others use it.  Since this is a test, we cannot guarantee it’s success.  Also, as of now I’m the only one you will see but you will be able to hear everything.

Barring any problems; we will be on around 9:30PM Eastern time.  We usually start show prep around 9PM, so we should be live by 9:30PM.

You can access the stream here and we are going to record the broadcasts for people to find via UStream.  We hope to see you there.
