The Simulcast

The Simulcast began in June 2009. The panel members (Michael Manna from T4Show, Steve Trotto from Mobile Tech Moment, and Bill Stebbins from Mobility Today) decided to start our own podcast during a hiatus for Mobility Today. After 13 successful episodes of The Simulcast, Mobility Today returned with a new cast and our staff elected to continue this show. In February of 2010, Dave Valle joined us for a full-time spot and Geoff Farinha became a part-time contributor. Patrick Virgidamo is our newest addition and brings his legal perspective to our site.

We sincerely appreciate all of the support and look forward to continuing our weekly shows every Wednesday evening at 8:30pm EST.

Here is the current panel of tech enthusiasts that make up The Simulcast:
