TWiT.tv (network)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TWiT.tv, which is the operating name of TWiT LLC, is a podcast (though TWiT uses the term netcast) network run by technology broadcaster and author Leo Laporte. At one point, the network hosted sixteen podcasts covering various aspects of computing and technology, including the internet, computer security, Microsoft, Apple and the Macintosh, biotechnology and current technology news. It now hosts only thirteen, however more will likely be offered in the future.
The network originally started with one podcast, entitled this WEEK in TECH.
