− − The Tech Guy is a US-wide syndicated radio show, hosted by Leo Laporte formerly of TechTV and now TWiT.tv fame. The show, which was first exclusively broadcast on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles, California, was picked up for syndication by Premiere Networks (then Premiere Radio Networks) in February 2007. The show currently has over 100 terrestrial affiliates in cities including Los Angeles, California, San Francisco, California, Houston, Texas, and Washington, DC. The show also airs on America's Talk, Leo streams video of his side of the show on TWiT Live, including caller audio. You can watch the show LIVE Weekends at 11:00 A.M. PST at live.twit.tv

− − The show is a mixture of interviews and call-ins, as well as Leo's own thoughts and opinions on current events in technology. Several regular guests often appear during the show via Skype; AVSForum Editor Scott Wilkinson, Dick DeBartolo of Mad Magazine, and Johnny Jet appear on Saturdays while Chris Marquardt of Tips from the Top Floor has a Sunday segment. Former guests include Steve Gibson, Paul Thurrott, and Ron Rosberg.

− − The show originates from the TWiT Brick House studios in Petaluma, California, a community north of San Francisco.

− −

History[edit]

− Leo Laporte has been doing one version or another of his technology talk show since 1990, including a syndicated show originating from KGO. The current incarnation of the show began on KFI weekends in 2004, only months prior to the cancellation of Call for Help and The Screen Savers from the newly merged G4techTV in the United States. According to Leo, he had to find a way to keep talking about technology, and facetiously mentioned that if it wasn't for KFI green lighting the show, he would have ended up "having to talk to [his] wife about it."[1] The show ran weekends on KFI at 11 AM. Leo also appeared on Bill Handel's morning show on Fridays for The Laporte Report segment, and continues to do so. Leo also does a Laporte Report live segment for CFRB in Toronto, Ontario Saturday mornings.

− − In late 2006, Leo notified his audience on net@nite that his contract with KFI was going to expire soon, and it was hinted at that he would only continue with Clear Channel if The Tech Guy was syndicated. With the help of management at KFI, Premiere Networks picked up the show for syndication, and it was announced on January 27, 2007 that it would roll out nationally.[2] On February 17, 2007, the newly syndicated Tech Guy radio show launched nationally on eleven radio stations, including KFI. The show has added many affiliates, and has grown sharply from the original twelve to over one hundred (as of the summer of 2010).

− −

Live chat[edit]

− There is a public Internet Relay Chat that takes place when the show airs live on the server irc.twit.tv in the #twitlive channel. Leo participates in the chat during commercial breaks and often refers to the chat to give him additional information to assist with some of the callers' questions. The channel is moderated to keep the chat clean and on-topic.

− −

Podcast[edit]

− Every show is available as a podcast on the TWiT network, distributed via RSS feed at twit.tv/TTG. Until June 2011, shows were posted intermittently up to a week after their first airdate in order to meet the requirements of Laporte's Premiere contract for exclusivity purposes for the radio affiliates, and the live and taped video versions of the show required caller audio to be muted.

− − After Laporte renewed his Premiere deal that month, these conditions were relaxed, and the show is now allowed to be posted hours after first broadcast to TWiT, and caller audio is now heard on the live video and TWiT.am audio feeds. The new deal also allowed Laporte to solicit his traditional TWiT advertisers to sponsor the podcast feeds, while retaining his advertisers for the radio version.

− −

Technical details[edit]

− The show was produced from Leo Laporte's TWiT Cottage but moved to the new TWiT Studio known as the TWiT Brick House in July 2011. It is streamed to Premiere Networks via Laporte's direct ISDN line connection to Premiere at 64 kbps. From there Premiere uploads it to their satellite network for distribution. Leo also streams his side of the show on TWiT Live.

− − July 24, 2011’s show was the last program produced at the TWiT Cottage, with Laporte parading through downtown Petaluma after the end of that day's show to the Brick House with his staff and onlookers to inaugurate the new facility, which opened an hour later with that week's This Week in Tech. The first Tech Guy show produced at the TWiT Brick House was on July 30, which also was the first broadcast from Leo's office set, which was built to resemble the former Cottage studio.

− −

Radio affiliates[edit]

− The Tech Guy radio show is syndicated to several affiliates across America, including the show's flagship, KFI in Los Angeles, California. While formerly on KGO-AM in San Francisco, California -- the metropolitan area nearest TWiT's studios -- it is now tape-delayed Sundays on KKSF-AM.

− − The show runs live for three hours weekends at 11 a.m. Pacific, 2 p.m. Eastern, with some stations delaying their airing until later in the day. Some affiliates opt to pick up both shows each weekend, while others only choose to run one day.

FLOSS Weekly is a free software / open source (FLOSS) themed netcast from the TWiT Network.[1] The show premiered on April 7, 2006, and features interviews with prominent guests from the free software/open source community. It was originally hosted by Leo Laporte; his cohost for the first seventeen episodes was Chris DiBona and subsequently Randal Schwartz. In May 2010, Schwartz took over the lead host position, freeing up Laporte for other opportunities.

Many influential people from the free and open source community have appeared on the show, including Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham, Miguel de Icaza, Rasmus Lerdorf, Tim O'Reilly,[2] Guido van Rossum, Linus Torvalds, and Jimmy Wales. Show topics are wide in variety, and have for example included ZFS,[3] Mifos,[4] Asterisk,[5] and the OSU Open Source Lab.[6]

History[edit]

FLOSS Weekly was started by Leo Laporte, who runs the TWiT netcast network, and Chris DiBona, now the open source program manager at Google. FLOSS is an acronym for Free/Libre Open Source Software. The show was intended to be a weekly interview with the biggest names and influences in open source software. Episode one of FLOSS Weekly appeared on April 7, 2006.

Towards the end of 2006, episodes began to appear less frequently, dropping to a monthly basis. DiBona's newborn baby and commitments at Google were cited as reasons for the show's stagnation, and on the seventeenth episode, Laporte appealed for other co-hosts to share the burden.[7] This was DiBona's final appearance on the show as the host. He returned as a guest for the show's 100th episode.[8]

The show went on an unannounced three-month hiatus, re-appearing on July 21, 2007, with a new co-host, Randal Schwartz,[9] who had previously appeared on the show as a guest. Schwartz has since taken over organizing guests for the show, and has restored the show to a predominantly weekly schedule (with occasional gaps from scheduling conflicts or last minute cancellations). Starting with episode 69, Jono Bacon has been a somewhat regular co-host, even filling in for Randal when Randal wasn't available.

The show was nominated for the 2009 Podcast Awards in the Technology/Science category.[10]

In May 2010, the show began publishing a video feed (along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows), and moved to an earlier recording time. As a result of the new recording time, Leo Laporte stepped down as the lead host, and Jono Bacon could no longer regularly co-host. Randal Schwartz and Aaron Newcomb are now the lead hosts, and they are currently using a rotating panel of co-hosts, selected on the basis of availability and appropriateness for the guest.

Format[edit]

Most episodes feature the primary developer or developers of a particular open source software project. The show is an open discussion, with the host and co-host asking questions about the nature of the project. Typically, the interviewers will ask the guests about the history of the project, and its development model (such as which language it is written in, which version control system is used, and what development environment the author uses). Some shows, such as the interviews with Jon "maddog" Hall and Simon Phipps, are not specific to an open source project, and feature more general topics, such as the philosophy of free and open source software. Shows begin and end with a brief discussion between the hosts, before and after calling the guest. Often the guests are interviewed via Skype, with Laporte's staff at TWiT being responsible for the audio recording and production. FLOSS Weekly has been supported by advertising and donations. In October 2006, FLOSS Weekly had 31,661 downloads of episode 14.[11]

Shows[edit]

The following lists all the shows that have been produced. There is a public list of potential future guests, although the show is only scheduled two months out.[12]

TWiT Live Specials, or TWiT Specials for short, is a netcast dedicated to covering keynote speeches from big tech companies such as Apple; Google; Microsoft; Facebook and many others, as well as covering breaking news from the world of technology and sometimes beta shows and non-typical/one time shows are put here as well. The netcast is one of many from the TWiT Network.[1] The show premiered on December 29, 2009, and features big tech announcements or events covered by your favorite TWiT hosts. Watching the show LIVE varies on time because sometimes TWiT Specials are not planned such as the Steve Jobs passing, and some are planned like technology announcements. However, you can still watch LIVE at live.twit.tv. Lisa Kentzell, TWiT's CEO usually on her TWiT blog, will tell you the exact time and date to tune in.

History[edit]

TWiT Live Specials was started by Leo Laporte. Episode one of TWiT Live Specials appeared on December 29, 2009.

TWiT Live[edit]

TWiT Live Specials is shown through a live video feed along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows. Even before TWiT Specials, TWiT Live has been used to air live coverage of large technology events. Leo Laporte produced live coverage of the 2009 Apple WWDC complete with a live pirate video stream from the auditorium floor. The current record for coverage on TWiT Live is the "24 Hours of the iPhone" event in July 2008, tracking the launch of the iPhone 3G around the globe as it went on sale in every timezone at 8am local. Laporte stayed on air for the full 24 hours with only a few quick breaks. Calls were taken from people in line around the world, TWiT regulars, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Leo gave away 10 iPhone 3Gs during the broadcast complete with free audiobooks from Audible.com.

TWiT Live Specials was born when in January 2010, when Leo Laporte and the TWiT team covered Consumer Electronics Show live from a stage in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. They covered two parties, Digital Experience Press Event and ShowStoppers Press Event live though an in-house built wireless broadcasting rig using a tablet computer which connected a camera and two microphones together and was streamed though EVDO and 3G cards. The broadcasting rig was made by TWiT's former Vice President of Engineering, Colleen Kelly. The trip to Consumer Electronics Show was sponsored by Ford Sync, Audible.com. Audio and Video podcasts were made and published on iTunes and on the TWiT website. It was the first time in a six-year gap that Laporte visited Consumer Electronics Show after the take over of TechTV. Laporte also announced that he was hopefully going to be back at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011 which he did.

In May 2010, Leo announced that TWiT would do more live coverage of major events and breaking news. Since then, they have covered events such as Google I/O, WWDC, E3, Maker Faire, Dragon Con, South By Southwest, Macworld Expo, and the Consumer Electronics Show. They have also covered breaking news such as Eric Schmidt stepping down as CEO of Google, Hewlett Packard's acquisition of Palm, Inc, Steve Jobs' resignation and death, the verdict in the US portion of the Apple vs. Samsung case, and various press conferences and keynotes from companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook.

Tech News Today, or TNT for short, is a netcast dedicated to discussing the most important stories of the day in conversation with the world's leading journalists. The netcast is one of many from the TWiT Network.[1] The show premiered on June 1, 2010, and features guests who are journalists that report the big news stories. It was originally hosted by Tom Merritt for the first 912 episodes of the show. On December 5, 2013, Chief TWiT Leo Laporte announced in a blog post on the TWiT website, that Tom would not be returning to the show due to Laporte wanting an "in studio host/news director."[2] You can watch the show LIVE Weekdays at 10:00 A.M. PST at live.twit.tv

History[edit]

Tech News Today was started by Tom Merritt, Becky Worley, Erik Lanigan, and Leo Laporte (although Laporte was only there for the first episode).[3] Sarah Lane joined the show as co-host on Mondays and Fridays[4] and started working every day on the show after Worley left the show in March 2011.[citation needed] Lane's last Tech News Today show was Episode 941 and she went on to host Tech News 2Night, TWiT's evening news show every weeknight except on Fridays. Iyaz Akhtar also joined the show as a guest in Episode 4[5] and joined as a co-host on Episode 209.[6] Akhtar's last Tech News Today show was Episode 905 and he went on to become Senior Editor at CNET.[7] The show is now hosted by Mike Elgan who joined Tech News Today at Episode 913,[8] Jason Howell who joined Tech News Today at Episode 83,[9] and rotating co-anchors. Episode one of TNT appeared on June 1, 2010. Tech News Today is shown through a live video feed along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows.

Tom moving to Los Angeles[edit]

Tom Merritt moved to Los Angeles, CA to accommodate his wife Eileen Rivera's new job at YouTube. Fortunately though, Tech News Today was able to continue on with Merritt being a Skype host. Episode 671 is when Merritt did his first show as a host via Skype in his new home studio in Los Angeles, CA.[10]

Illustrations[edit]

Len Peralta a graphic artist, illustrator, and cartoonist joined Tech News Today at Episode 756 on Fridays to illustrate the show. The drawings would then go up to Peralta's web site for sale at lenperalta.com.

Original format[edit]

The show featured three segments during the Merritt era of Tech News Today: The News Fuse where each host talked about the top stories of that day for around 5 minutes (this was followed by an ad read), Tom Merritt would then welcome the guest(s) on that show to dig deeper into the news of the day and talk about/analyze it and the Randomizer were the audience decided based on a Strawpoll what the final interesting/comedic/weird tech news story was going to be. Mike Elgan had a similar structure at the start of his reign with Top News replacing The News Fuse, The Conversation, and In Other News replacing the Randomizer. This format was quickly replaced with focusing on merging them all into one segment.[citation needed]

Tech News 2Night, or TN2 for short, is a netcast dedicated to a quick evening tech news roundup consisting of the top tech news since the morning broadcast of Tech News Today (TWiT's morning news show) and also diving into the biggest stories of the day. The netcast is one of many from the TWiT Network.[1] The show premiered on January 13, 2014, and features guests who are journalists that report the big news stories. It was originally hosted by a list of rotating co-anchors (listed below) for the first 20 episodes of the show. You can watch the show LIVE Weeknights at 4:00 P.M. PST at live.twit.tv

History[edit]

Tech News 2Night was started by Lisa Kentzell (TWiT's CEO) and Leo Laporte who both wanted an evening version of Tech News Today that was more brief and gives a run down of the stories that were missed during the morning broadcast. They mentioned that they were starting an evening news show during the Inside TWiT episode for October 16, 2013.[2] The show is hosted by Sarah Lane Mondays-Thursdays and Jason Howell on Fridays. Episode one of TN2 appeared on January 13, 2014. Tech News 2Night is shown through a live video feed along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows.

Format[edit]

The show is very similar to it's brother, Tech News Today, featuring a discussion about a big news story with the big name(s) in journalism. Sometimes the guest will have wrote the story.

Former host rotation[edit]

The show used to have rotating anchors running the show. However, this was quickly replaced in favor of "dividing and conquering" as Mike Elgan said at the end of Sarah Lane's last Tech News Today episode.[3] Lane now is the one anchor that hosts the show. Before Lane took over the entire Tech News 2Night operation, the former host rotation was the following:
