Write a Review of this WEEK in TECH Podcast

rickman, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: rickman from Los Angeles, California

The hosts and guests of this show are affectionately known as "twits" on this very popular technology program. Each week the twits gather to editorialize on the events of the past few days and to take kind-hearted jabs at one another. It's a live, unedited round table, with occasional audio glitches, only made worse by guests calling in on mobile phones. The comments are amusing but not always informative, and the program is usually too long. But none of these things will detract from the show's popularity, which I think is due to the honesty of the opinions and the surprisingly dissonant views from a group of technology gurus.

Look for a number of spinoffs and copycat programs, and a tragic demise for "this WEEK in TECH".
