This Week in Tech
technology video podcast
This Week in Tech–casually referred to as TWiT, and briefly known as Revenge of the Screen Savers–is the weekly flagship podcast and namesake of the TWiT.tv network. It is hosted by Leo Laporte and many other former TechTV employees, and is currently produced by Benito Gonzalez. It features round-table discussions and debates surrounding current technology news and reviews, with a particular focus on consumer electronics and the Internet. With the closing of the TWiT "eastside" studios in Petaluma, California, United States, it is now produced virtually. Prior to that, it was produced at the former "brickhouse" studios where it had been produced for 5 years, and earlier at the TWiT "cottage", where it was produced for over 6 years. The podcast is streamed live on Sundays at 2:15 pm Pacific Time.
Format
Leo Laporte typically begins an episode of TWiT by stating the show's number, title, sponsors and playing the theme tune, then introducing the week's panelists and guests. The panelists update the audience by discussing their recent projects or work. The main portion of the show consists of a round-table discussion and debate, pegged loosely to a selection of the week's major technology headlines. The format of the show encourages spontaneity and the conversation often diverges wildly from technology topics.

Why this record matters
“This Week in Tech” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Week, Tech and technology provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7786377. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
