− − 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

San Francisco
.

− −

History

− Leo Laporte has been doing one version or another of his technology talk show since 1990, including a syndicated show originating from

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

− 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

− Every show is available as a podcast on the

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

− 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

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

− The Tech Guy radio show is syndicated to several affiliates across America, including the show's flagship,

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

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

Mifos,[4] Asterisk,[5] and the OSU Open Source Lab.[6]

History

FLOSS Weekly was started by

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

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

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

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]

Tom moving to Los Angeles

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

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

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]

History

Tech News Today was started by

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

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

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

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

PST at live.twit.tv

History

Tech News 2Night was started by

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

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

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:
