What Are We Going To Call This Mess? – MyMac Podcast #368

Yeah, we had some stuff to talk about, but it’s mostly just fun stuff since it’s kinda quiet lately. Gaz has a chat about the Liverpool Tweetup that went international with FaceTime to the US from an Italian/Spanish restaurant. It makes sense if you listen.

A show with many twists and turns! From a Webcomic artist who had problems with her iPhone Danielle Corsetto (http://www.girlswithslingshots.com) to John Astin from the Aadams Family, we really run the gauntlet with this show.
