MacTalk Australia was an online forum dedicated to news, support & discussion amongst Apple enthusiasts or potential users, with an Australian bias. After its inception in 2004, the forum quickly became a top 10 tech site receiving hundreds of thousands of visits per month. In 2011 the site was sold to Niche Media, owner of Macworld Australia Magazine, and by 2015 a message by the sites' volunteer moderators declared the site dead. MacTalk's forums run on VBulletin and VBAdvanced. On 8 September 2007, Anthony "decryption" Agius released the first MacTalk podcast, "I Only Bought it Because It's New" consisting of himself, Jedda "jedda" Wignall, Peter "fulltimecasual" Wells and Marc "marc" Edwards of Bjango fame. The concept of the podcasts has been a group of guys sitting around drinking beer and talking about current Mac topics. As of June 2013, there are over 255, each approximately an hour long, available for free through the iTunes Store. 13 November 2009 marked the recording of the 100th episode of MacTalk, "Live from the Birmingham Hotel", and on 20 March 2012, the 200th episode was recorded. The podcast's 215th Episode references the second sentence of this Wikipedia entry. More information...
