So as mentioned on the last episode of Pro Photo Show, PPS #76 will be our first ever live call in episode. A photography talk show where we’ll have a panel discussing topics of like normal, but the all of you will be able to tune in live, join the chat room, give feedback and even dial in, ask questions and voice your opinions.

The TalkShoe episode Listing is here and that’s where you’ll go at showtime.

This is all happening on March 24th 2011, at 5PM PST/8PM EST. It’s our first time live and we may be working out a few kinks as we figure out the system, but this should be a blast.

Mark it on your calenders and come join the fun on PPS LIVE. We’ll see you there… Gav
