Sunday night means it’s time for our world famous talkcast, and tonight’s going to be a good one. I’ll be hosting the last pre-Christmas show, so I’m sure we’ll fit in some last minute gift discussion, and we’ll chat about the most popular posts of the past week, including Operation Chokehold, AT&T’s thoughts on it, and the aftermath, our favorite free Mac apps of the year, and why iPhone users are delusional. And of course we’ll have a nice panel of TUAWers on board — I’m told Joachim Bean, Kent Pribbernow, and Steve Sande should be on the line to chat live.

It starts at 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific this evening right over on Talkshoe — it’s just the thing you need to have a nice enjoyable night of Apple news discussion right before the holiday season takes over later this week. See you tonight!

To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the “TalkShoe Web” button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 — during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8.

If you’ve got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the TalkShoe ‘ShoePhone’ VoIP client or with the free Gizmo (now a Google product) or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here. Talk with you soon!
