Lee Douglas – 100th Show Milestone for Old Time Rock n Roll
Fifteen months ago, Lee Douglas began to translate his love for the music of the 50’s and 60’s lovingly called Oldies, into a new medium, the pod cast. Together with the folks at Talkshoe.com, he began his venture into the new medium. Just retired from teaching he decided to turn in his chalk for a microphone.

NEW — Non Member Calling
October 15, 2007 at 10:42 am | Author: TalkShoe Team | In Announcements, Host Lounge News1 Comment |
Some, but not all, of you know that there are now two (2) different choices to enter a Talkcast. There’s the traditional way where a participant signs up, chooses a PIN, and dials in. In this case their Display Name and profile info is shown. Hosts must enter this way.
The NEW way is to NOT SIGN UP as a member. Instead, you just call in, enter the Talkcast ID, and then 1#. That’s it! You’re in. If we recognize your area code with caller-ID, we’ll display something like “Pennsylvania” as your Display Name.
So with non-member calling, Free ShoePhone, mobile phone access, and listen-only streaming, we continue to make it easier to get live participants.
1-year Anniversary of Leo Laporte using TalkShoe
October 3, 2007 at 3:42 pm | Author: TalkShoe Team | In Announcements, Host Lounge News, Hosts in the News, Podcasting NewsNo Comments |
It’s our 1-year anniversary of Leo Laporte using TalkShoe, and time to reminisce…
It was back in October 2006 when Leo Laporte of TWiT-TV first told us that he was planning to use TalkShoe. Leo, for those of you who don’t know, is the #1 podcaster in the world by most measures. We had a couple of weeks to prepare, and we had no idea what kind of traffic Leo would generate, and what part of our system would break. At that time, we didn’t (we do now!) for example have anyway to heavily load-test our system.
The BIG day came on November 5, 2006 when Leo and Amber (MacArthur) first went live …

ShoePhone is here - talk unlimited and FREE with Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime
September 7, 2007 at 10:48 am | Author: TalkShoe Team | In Announcements, Host Lounge News3 Comments |
TalkShoe today launched the general product availability of its FREE ShoePhone, service, an easy to use service for unlimited group calling with anyone, anywhere, anytime. ShoePhone is fully integrated with TalkShoe Live. There’s no need to enter IDs, phone numbers, or IP addresses – just use a headset and a PC or Mac.
ShoePhone uses voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology to create calls. However, unlike other VoIP services, users can connect ShoePhone-to-ShoePhone as well as with people using telephones, mobile phones, other VoIP services such as Skype, and 3rd party VoIP clients such as SJphone and Gizmo. This is because ShoePhone is based on a telco-grade conferencing system unlike other server-based VoIP-only services which have limited conferencing capabilities.
Using TalkShoe with ShoePhone or telephone makes it a great tool for social networking. Our goal is to bring topic-based interactive voice discussions to the masses.
