    Default Improve the MacTalk Podcast Comp Winners!

    After much deliberation, here are the top 10 ideas we liked most to improve the MacTalk podcast. (here's the thread all all the suggestions)

    matthew858: product reviews
    El Guardo: Enhanced AAC podcast (I like the idea, but I'll need to work on being less lazy first)
    tcn33: post of the week prize
    wmyeoh: mactalk explains tech concepts
    battye: Play a short audio jingle whenever a recurring section comes up & Re-enact a forum thread
    altflood3r: ustream
    Dubhousing: Attempt to ring Steve Jobs
    AdamD: New theme song
    curio: More Mac stuff
    tunacrust: Some sort of cross promo with other podcasts

    Not only do you get a 2Gb or 4Gb USB key, you will also all get a iPhone 3G silicone case, omgwtfbbq! I have PM'd you all

    Honourable mentions to stevejay & mitty, you guys get an e-hug.

    Thank you all for the suggestions, it's great to see so many people who give a shit about our crappy little podcast

    That'd be a classic, every episode. Dial Apple PR and attempt to get to Steve. (probably won't at the moment :P )

    You guys have to do this one.. it would be great. If you actually get through, you have to ask all the good questions. Stuff that he wouldn't get asked in interviews normally. "expect the unexpected", something my dad always says to me. Give Steve an interview he'll never forget.

    Pfft... 1300 321 456. Ask for Apple Customer Relations, then ask for Steve.

    Alternatively, you could just keep ringing Apple, on different numbers even, and see if anyone has any leads. If someone asks "whose Steve?", then abuse them over the phone.
