Engadget Podcast — live on USTREAM… right now!

You know, we like to get a little crazy some times. Test the waters. Mix it up. You know, all that hyperbole. At any rate, if you’d like to mix it up with us… we’re broadcasting live on USTREAM right now. Check out the embed after the break — and wish us luck!

Update: Well, that was certainly a rockin’ good time — we’ll have to do that again real soon! Thanks to everyone who listened in, and check back tomorrow if you missed it, we’ll have our regular podcast post up. (Nilay’s audio will be louder on the archived version, there were some issues streaming his mic.)
