The TWIT Network I'm going to break my own rule. (Already?) I said I would review podcasts but this is about a podcast network, The TWIT Network which streams its video podcasts live as well as archiving them for viewing at a later time. I love the idea! Imagine the fledgling CBS or NBC TV networks in the 1940s. That seems to be where video podcasting is today. I have my own page on You Tube and have some experience hosting a talk show and doing a daily newscast. I dream of our newspaper doing a complete schedule of TV shows. That is what the TWIT network has achieved. My hat is way off to founder Leo LaPorte. I used to watch him on Tech TV that our cable system carried. I'm not sure he is as knowledgable about computers and cell phones and the Internet as he lets on, but he is entertaining. There is a variety of shows. Many have to do with Google and Android and iPhones, but it also carries an Amateur Radio show, "Ham Nation," which is wonderful. It talks about everything imaginable for Ham radio enthusiasts and eve runs video showing how to solder together radios and other equipment. The guys and Cheryl, the lone lady in the bunch, have a great time doing the show over Skype which is then put together at TWIT's studios in California. I will go into more detail about shows on the network but you really should look up TWIT. It's really interesting.
