Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Open mic edition!
Another Sunday, another Talkcast. There has certainly been a lot of news this week, none of it was Apple related. So we'll be kicking back and enjoying a nice quiet week of news. There's no clear agenda, so we'll call it "Open Mic" night. Ask your questions, bring your perplexing technological conundrums and other big words, and we'll have some fun. Or you can bring a bottle and pour one out for our favorite tech company which is clearly, irrevocably DOOMED. :) And Kelly's hosting tonight which means Aftershow, and you know what that means? I hope someone does... Since it's really all about you, the community, do see if you can join us, won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: iPhone 5 Edition!
Another Sunday, another Talkcast. Join Kelly and guests while they try to think up things to talk about, since there's not been a lick of news in the last seven days to talk about. Yes yes, that was a joke. We'll be discussing Apple's announcement and not just hardware, but software as well. Tonight Kelly will be joined by Ross Rubin, principal analyst at Reticle Research. Tonight, since Kelly is hosting, the show will include Aftershow. Actively not recorded, drop by to find out why. Since it's really all about you, the community, so join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Mac Computer Expo edition!
It's Sunday again, which can only mean one thing! Well OK, it can mean two things, and the other one is the Talkcast! This week's news includes Appsung Drama, and some of the screen woes with the new rMBPs (making those of us with mere mortal machines feel a bit better about not picking one up), and whatever else comes up in the "preshow". Also tonight, we will be discussing the Mac Computer Expo with this year's organizer, Lorene Romero. Tonight will also mark the return of the Aftershow, previously put off for a variety of reasons. Join us to talk about ... whatever we end up talking about. You never know with the Aftershow. Now it's really all about you, the community, so join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Dog days edition!
It's Sunday again, like it or not, and as long as you can turn the air conditioner down low enough so the noise doesn't drown it out, you can join us tonight to record the Talkcast! We'll be discussing the latest and greatest (or not so greatest) news on Mountain Lion, the Apple/Samsung Showcase Legal Showdown, and include a PSA about security. It may be a warm one where you are, so tonight's Aftershow will likely include topics that go well with ice. Now it's really all about you, the community, so join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Community edition!
It's the last day of the weekend, or of Comic Con, depending on how you track that sort of thing. Either way this means we'll be talkcasting tonight at 7pm PT/10pm ET. This week it's open mic, so bring your topics and your opinions and we'll discuss a little of this and a little of that along with the rest of the week's news. As per tradition, The Kelly Show means The Aftershow, whatever that means. (No really, nobody knows, it changes every week.) Now it's really all about you, the community, so join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Pyrotechnic edition!
Another week, another weekend. Tonight we will be talkcasting at the same Bat-time, same Bat-channel as always (7pm PT/10pm ET). We'll chat about the new podcast app you can use to listen to the show (meta!) and possibly kick around the possibility raised this week about a smaller Dock connector for future iOS devices. We may also spend a bit of time on that "other" mobile platform, since their big conference was this week as well. Since Kelly's hosting, that means There Will Be Aftershow, and since we're just getting American Pyrotechnic Season underway, we may chat about exploding things as well. Or not. You just never know with aftershow. It's really all about you, the community, so join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Mamas edition!
Not just Sunday, but Mother's Day Sunday! Once you've wrapped up brunch and presents for Mom, join us for the show tonight! We'll have a little news about system updates and new maps but mostly we want to talk to moms. We'll spend some time with a few of our favorites, provided they aren't still off getting massages or enjoying a Mother's Day that extends well into the evening. Kelly hosting the show means Kelly hosting the aftershow, and you know that's always a good time. Join us for the non-recorded, off-topic, random conversation.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: AirPro Edition!
Well well well, Sunday. It's that time again, Talkshoe time! It's also time for some nice new hardware speculation live from my house, and we'll talk a little bit about some real news this week as well, such as a preview of NAB and a quick episode of Where's Tim? Kelly hosting the show means Kelly hosting the aftershow, a lovely non-recorded conversation about whatever strikes our fancy. A lot of times it's cake, but sometimes we solve the world's problems as well. You just never know. Since it's really all about you, the community, join me won't you?

Will TUAW skip its Talkcast tonight?
We meet again, Sunday. At least this one has been mildly entertaining in some respects (for example, the trimumphant return of the Apple Store Playset to ThinkGeek's front page and TUAW's honoring of Betteridge's Law for the day). While fun, it is not a joke that we'll be firing up the Talkcast starting at 7PM Pacific time, 10pm Eastern. We'll discuss App Stores for Mac OS and iOS; specifically the high points and low points of each. We'll also spend a bit of time on the Fair Labor Association report released this week. As usual, Kelly's hosting the show means there will be aftershow. Unlike the cake, the aftershow is NOT a lie. (Sometimes the aftershow has cake discussion as well, but that's another story.) Since it's really all about you, the community, join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Security Edition!
It's Sunday, and like a lot of Sundays, we'll be Talkcasting it up starting at 7PM Pacific time, 10pm Eastern. We'll discuss security instead of turning up our noses at the need. In fact, we will be chatting with George Starcher, since he just dropped all kinds of science about this very topic on the latest Typical Mac User podcast. We'll also talk about whatever else pops up during the course of the show. If you'd like to influence that, be sure to join us live using the instructions below. As usual, Kelly hosting the show means there will be aftershow. Bring your best recipes for cake or for saving the world, either way, you might need one or both for the aftershow.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: White sale edition!
Well! Another Sunday, another Talkcast. I'd like to thank Apple for giving me something to talk about this week, and while we're at it, we can chat about a new and cute little beta app too. This evening we'll have some guests too! One Apple briefing recipient, The Loop's Jim Dalrymple*, and Jeff Gamet of The Mac Observer will be there to discuss the latest Apple Cat and possibly how the OS kitty stacks up against the real one. As always, Kelly hosting the show means there will be aftershow. Which could mean...well, anything really, all bets are off when the aftershow's on. Since it's really all about you, the community, join me won't you?

You can also use any other SIP clients (aside from Skype or Google Voice), with these instructions. (If you prefer Blink, the pro version is available in the Mac App Store.) Talk to you tonight!* While Jim has confirmed his appearance, we are uncertain yet if The Beard will be joining him.
Talkcast tonight, 10pm ET/7pm PT: Super Edition!
It's not just any Sunday, this one happens to be Super! If you're over the game, or don't know what game I'm referring to, then join me at 7PM Pacific, 10PM Eastern for a look at the week's news and events. We'll cover the latest Lion update, warts and all, as well as Siri's sitcom debut. If you want to make sure we talk about your favorite topic, get there early and let me know so we can get it on the list. Your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be, otherwise I'm just talking to myself!

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Education/Macworld edition!
We're in between big events for the Mac types, we just had the education event last week, and this coming week we have Macworld|iWorld, or as I like to call it, It's So Nice To Finally Meet You In Person World. We'll be chatting specifically about how Apple's latest foray into education will impact both teachers and students, and we have a couple of educators scheduled to appear. If you are an educator or can talk one into joining us this evening, please do! Same goes for those who are attending MacWorld|iWorld, we want to know what you are looking forward to and any tips you have for others. As always, Kelly hosting the show means there will be aftershow. Which could mean anything really, the aftershow has a tendency to wander.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Shopping Edition!
It's Sunday once again and this can mean only one thing: Talkcast Time! If the holiday crazies haven't completely overcome you yet, join me at 5PM Hawaii/7PM Pacific/10PM Eastern for some holiday goings-on. We'll be discussing gifts for those who haven't finished shopping already, primarily from our own Holiday Gift Guides, but we're also looking for your suggestions as well. What's the one thing you've asked Santa for? What's the killer gift idea you have for someone else? Let us know! As usual, the chat room will be providing color commentary and generally trying to cause trouble, so do join them, it's always a lovely conversation going on in conjunction with the recording. And besides, you never know who will actually show up! Also keep in mind that we are planning to have some aftershow tonight, and it's been a while since the last one so it's bound to be interesting. Come find out why we never EVER record it! Your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be, otherwise I'm just talking to myself!

Talkcast tonight, 4pm HI/7pm PT/10pm ET: Holiday kickoff edition!
Here we are again, another Sunday. Provided you survived Black Friday and the turkey-based festivities, we'd love to have you join the TUAW family for a post-shopping, post-tryptophan-coma Talkcast. Most likely we will have a few of the regulars, providing what we'll call "color commentary" in the chat room. Also, if you show up for the recording, you are automatically invited to stay for the aftershow. Learn why TUAWTF is never recorded! Your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be, otherwise I'm just talking to myself!

Talkcast tonight, 4pm HI/7pm PT/10pm ET: Steve Jobs Day Edition!
I can't imagine what we'll talk about tonight. Like that other Sunday night tradition, we will try to have a rilly big shew for you. Oh wait, there IS something newsworthy to discuss after all: Happy Steve Jobs Day everyone! (Thank goodness! Clearly we have nothing else of note to discuss...) Not ONLY do we have at least one thing to talk about, we also have at least one person to talk with about it! My favorite Macworld dining companion, Mister Rod Roddenberry will be joining us!

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Ihnatko Edition!
Once again the weekend is coming to a close, so it's time we gather together for another Talkcast! Normally we have a variety of things to discuss, but this week we're going to shake things up with a very special guest: Chicago Sun-Times technology columnist & author Andy Ihnatko, a veteran of Mac commentary and all around delightful fellow. Odds are good some of the regulars will call in as well, and if we're fortunate (and my voice holds out) perhaps there will be some TUAWTF aftershow action. Join us, won't you?

Talkcast, 10pm ET/7pm PT: Labor Day Edition!
This weekend is a long one, but that certainly won't stop us from recording the Talkcast. We have things to bid farewell to as well as my favorite, rampant speculation! We may also cover a bit of other recent news stories as well. Remember, Kelly hosting the show means there will be the often duplicated and never recorded aftershow!

TUAW Talkcast, 10pm ET/7pm PT: Slow News Week Edition!
Sunday arrives once again (I swear, it's up to once a week now), and with it comes another opportunity for you to spend a portion of your evening with me as we record the Talkcast! August is traditionally a slow news month, and this August has been no different. We always manage to find something to discuss somehow, though. (And yes, I'm kidding.) Prepare to join me and a variety of guests (including the usual rabble-rousers) for an hour of show, and then the bonus aftershow! Provided you aren't in the path of Hurricane Irene, that is.

Talkcast tonight, 10pm ET/7pm PT/4pm HT: Old school hardware edition!
Another Sunday, another live TUAW Talkcast! This week we have news of shiny new educational iMacs; remember those? We also have a bit of Newton love to talk about, and perhaps we will look back fondly upon other old Apple hardware, like Spartacus or perhaps the PowerBook World Saver slash hibachi. Prepare to join me and... well, I'm not sure who else, but you know it'll be a good time. Kelly hosting the show means there will be aftershow, which we never record.
