Back from our one month mid-year hiatus, The Ploy is coming to you recorded live this week, for the first time we did a live show using UStream. While this episode didn’t involve any call ins from listeners we did get a call-in from ‘Daisy’ aka Shannon. Ben’s ‘partner’ and that is something to stick around for. By doing the show Live you can also now watch the video of the show as it happened, unfortunately we could only organise video of Paul this time around, we hope to change that in future episodes.

Also this week… We officially welcome Paul Tevis as the third host, Dead Celebrities (Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays), Paul Shaved his head!, Mike and Ben get into a fight over Leo Laporte, Australian Politics are C.R.A.Z.Y., Paul’s Family Reunion, Tech With Ben on the new iPhone 3GS and the Macbook range changes plus Shannon calls in and loads more.
