The TWiT saga

Thursday, October 26, 2006

Poor Leo caused something of a storm this week at the suggestion that TWiT might be going the way of the dodo. Thankfully, that's not going to happen.

As TWiT has taken ads, the stakes are a bit higher. No podcast = unhappy advertisers, and that's not what the show needs - especially as we try to establish podcasting as a viable commercial medium, to the benefit of all podcasters out there.

I did make it online to the show that never was, but unfortunately, just me and Leo isn't much of a show. Although maybe it could be, hmm... :o)

To avoid this situation happening again, I know that Leo is hiring a booker to organise guests for the show a couple of weeks in advance, which should mean that there are no worries with keeping things on air. I know that some of the guests have incredibly busy schedules, and having some major advanced notice should mean that you see some of the old favourites a bit more often. Don't despair!

I rang Leo yesterday to say hello and see how he's doing, and things are good - so the TWiT army has nothing to fear.

I personally adore the show and any week I'm not contributing, I'm hitting the refresh button in iTunes to get the show ASAP - just like you guys. Doin' the TWiT is a heck of a lot of fun, even if it does mean staying up until the wee small hours over here in Blighty. Thanks so much for the support you guys have shown - I know it means a lot to Leo.

So, there's a show on Sunday, a post-cruise show the week after and then normal service is resumed the week after that - and I've already booked myself in, so here's to organisation!

Very nice Wil. I go bonkers whenever there is no TWiT, it almost seems to make my week. Good luck with your Macbook, sorry to see a good computer go down.

Thanks for the info, Nick...I mean Wil :D.
I have 18.5 acres to tend to, TWiT helps me get through that so much quicker.
Say "Hi" the Blighty for me, eh.
Cheers!
