The TekGoblin Podcast 01 - (Recorded on 08.13.2011) Hey guys The TekGoblin Podcast is finally here and in full effect. There was some discussion between staff on whether this should be a video podcast or an audio only podcast with the occasional use of still photos. Well due to some technical difficulty it looks like the latter of the two is how this podcast will be brought to you today. The TekGoblin Podcast will be a weekly podcast where we discuss the past week in technology news. The usual hosts will consist of myself, Matt Jurek, and Andrew Wilson. The podcast will not be limited to just those hosts as there may be times where TekGoblin staff and technology industry guests visit the show from time to time. The show will usually be recorded on Saturday and will hopefully be up within the same day.
