'''Talk Wireless''' is a term for the genre of public-access [[wireless]] shows, including a range of "current affairs" and other programs, one of which is the political show "[[The Colonial Gang]]."
'''Talk Wireless''' is a public-access [[wireless]] network within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]], broadcasting a range of "current affairs" and other programs, one of the most recent of which is "[[The Colonial Gang]]".


A Talk Wireless program broadcasts the fact that [[Gaius Baltar]] is to become the [[Quorum of Twelve]] representative for {{RDM|Caprica}}. Baltar himself takes a dim view to the medium, calling it an excuse for "low-brow rabble-rousing"  {{TRS|Colonial Day}}. Other large events broadcast throughout the Fleet include the [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|presidential election]] and [[Crossroads, Part I|Baltar's trial]].
A program on Talk Wireless broadcast the fact that [[Gaius Baltar]] was to become the [[Quorum of Twelve]] representative for [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] ([[Colonial Day]]). Baltar himself took a dim view to the medium, calling it an excuse for "low-brow rabble-rousing"  ([[Colonial Day]]).


==Note==
The [[Fleet News Service]] likely uses Talk Wireless for their broadcasts.
* The term is a parallel of [[w:Talk Radio|talk radio]].
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica 4]]'', [[Sharon Valerii (alternate)|Sharon Valerii]] notes that the antebellum [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Centurions]] communicate to each other via "talk wireless". However, her usage of the term in the comic corresponds more to "[[wireless]]" itself rather than the genre.
