Wicked Decent Winter Call in...

We've been hankerin for another listener participation show ever since the last one (although we've worked out some sound problems from last time so the quality will be better).

We're scheduling another Wicked Decent Listener show via Skype on Monday, December 29th at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time. If you'd like to join us, all you have to do is...

1. Add "Wicked Decent Learning" as a contact on Skype (don't have Skype, it's free and easy to install on Mac or PC).

2. Log on to Skype between 7:30 PM EST and 8:00 PM on December 29th. Make sure you have a working microphone and that you know how to mute yourself (this will cut down on the noise interference). We'll come up with a topic and if you want to chime in, we'll come up with a batting order to make it simple and orderly (imagine that, order at WDL).

The only disclaimer here is that if you are joining us we have the right to use your voice on the show (kind of a no brainer, but important to say anyhow).

If you know you'll be joining us, send an email to wickeddecentlearning@gmail.com to let us know how many people to expect. Also, if you have a topic of interest to share, let us know there as well.

Hope to see you then, it's a great time to trade fruitcake recipes!
