…and the hits just keep on coming!

This was another great show, and I want to thank Eric from FL. and Brett from N.C for their POV on the Apple vs. Palm Pre Patent section of the show. It was excellent.

Their are so many parts to this show that will give you the feel that we do hit all basis each week. If you are looking for Economic Talk, we have it. If you want the views of our guests on current events like what is going on at US AIRWAYS, here is the place that you will hear it. Also, as I mentioned, the Apple and Palm Pre patent talk provided some very good points-of-view and opinions. As we do on a weekly basis, we touched on new movies that are coming to the big screen and also to DVD this week. From the music desk, we bring you some music news and also some upcoming Grammy’s info.

It wouldn’t be a full week here if porn or strippers weren’t involved, so you have to tune in for Odd News-It is a nose breaker.
