Talkcast 10pm ET: Special guest Paul Kent talks Macworld Expo

Last week’s show featured our own Kelly G. in her first hosting opportunity, and a hearty helping of tablet tea-leaf reading. You can download the show on iTunes or direct from Talkshoe.

Tonight, we have a special guest, and a great opportunity for our listeners to ask their questions about the imminent Macworld Conference & Expo, which starts the 2nd week in February. Paul Kent, IDG’s general manager for Macworld Expo, will be joining us to talk about the way the show has evolved since last year’s announcement of Apple’s departure, and what attendees, instructors and exhibitors can expect when they get there. We’ll be taking your chat questions and calls, so c’mon out and call in!
