Season two of Version History is coming, and we want your help.

Thanks to everyone who has listened and watched and given us feedback on the first episodes! We’re refining the Version History Questions, tweaking the Hall of Fame, and more. We’re also about to start production on the next six episodes. Here they are:

Google Glass
iPhone 4
TiVo
Flappy Bird
Nintendo Power Glove
AOL Instant Messenger

And we want to hear from you in every episode. Do you have questions / memories / funny stories to share? If so, call the Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11, or send us emails at [email protected]. (We’re also working on a way to send us videos... more on that soon.) The new season kicks off in a few weeks — make sure you subscribe to not miss a thing.
