Greetings faithful listeners

We're going to try something a little bit different for Episode 34 of the Twincast.

We're going to be taking calls live via Skype. This is your chance to jump in and tell us what you think, tell us off, ask us questions, whatever works; we're game. The point is, we need you to make this episode happen

Here's how to get in on this....

Send a Skype Friend Request to counterpunch_seibertron. I'll add them all in the night before we record. Then, just be on Skype between 9 and 11 pm on December 8. We'll buzz you in and you can have your shot at luke warm internet fame.

Alternately, you can drop us questions or comments on Twitter during the same time period by sending them to @ME_Counterpunch We will do our best to hit those up as well.

It's as simple as that. Hit up the news post with any questions. We'll see you in a few days!

Not just people...us people.

It's not mandatory, just for fun if you want to have your 3-5 minutes of fame.

Hmm...I've need for a few more minutes, after being in the paper three time...

What is a Skype friend request and how do I send one? I can only add to my contact list people whose email adresses I know.

Alright Counterpunch here is my idea for whose who don't call in via skype like myself. Put up a live Twitter feed (like Optibotimus or Peaugh) when you do that episode I'll pitch in and join twitter for that if you agree.

My Skype name is all you need.

Hit 'Add Contact' and put in counterpunch_seibertron

That'll do it.

I've gotten a lot of requests so far.

This should be fun.

Please understand that you may in all likelihood have to wait a little while before we buzz you in. Pretty much one guest at a time.
