We know it can be scary when the Minnov8 Gang is more lifelike. On this week’s show we try out the “3DHD” conference calling service Voxeet. Is it better? You decide and let us know what you think in the comments…and whether or not us being more lifelike will now make young children run screaming from the room when you’re listening to our show.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Music: Jacks Jive by Casino66. Brought to us by Music Alley.
