Every so often, you get that guest that flips the script of what you thought you could accomplish doing a tech podcast. This week, we were lucky to chat to Lou Maresca of This Week in Enterprise Tech (TWiET) on TWIT.tv. Lou has been podcasting as long as us, since 2013 and has produced over 500 episodes. If you've ever listened to his show, you know he truly gets into the weeds and his knowledge of the industry shows. We started talking about the talent gap and what we can do to change it. We then went rapid-fire, talking everything from enterprise security to GenAI and even blockchain. He's truly a nerd's nerd as we ended talking Star Wars: Ahsoka and Episodes 7–9. I highly suggest subscribing to his show if you are in or around the industry. With that said, we hope you enjoy this podcast!
It's been a year since I started my Host-Read Ads podcast, and soon, I will be bringing my pod to TWiT as I plan to include more about the podcasting industry as a whole and feature relevant guests who can help guide brands through podcast advertising. Today, I am going to talk about our decision to pivot our network from a two ad per advertiser per episode model to a one ad per advertiser per episode model. Here are the three reasons why we are making the change. Since 2020, Dynamic Ad Insertion (or DAI) exploded in the podcasting world. And today, it is the number one way that podcasters sell their content. It has pushed our two-ad model right out the door because no one is using it, and it's becoming harder to explain to brands when they only want one ad. So, starting now, we are conforming to the one ad model not because it's better, it's because we are the last network to pivot away from the two ad model. Moving to the one ad model makes our network more attractive to agencies, and we need more brand business if we are going to remain a network. This move should make it easier for agencies to sell our network as they have been wanting us to pivot for years. Our new model will allow brands, who are used to only appearing once in a podcast episode to thoroughly test our network, especially when they can appear in more episodes, so we anticipate being sold out across all shows. I want to be clear that moving to a one-ad model is not as effective as a two-ad model, BUT the industry has moved to be more like radio and TV by geotargeting DAI ads, etc. In order for TWiT to remain competitive, we have to move to this as well. Especially with every podcast network making steep cuts and laying off staff. We either pivot now and survive or join the other networks in layoffs. Therefore, podcast fans, if you love a podcast, then please subscribe to the show, support its sponsors, pay for your content, or join podcast clubs. With advertisers demanding more ad tech, cheaper CPMs, and shorter cancellation policies, ALL podcasts must diversify revenue streams to survive.

Today I want to talk about the rise of the B2B influencer. Brands have been partnering with influencers for years, promoting B2C products & services with great effectiveness. Today, brands are now focusing on influencers to promote B2B products/services. And here at TWiT.tv is one of the original B2B influencers. Brands know there are several ways to promote B2B that, include social media, content marketing, newsletters, email, paid search, organic search, and streaming TV/podcasts. You need multiple touchpoints to gain conversions, and B2B typically needs more touchpoints than B2C, especially if the service is complex. Here at TWiT.tv, we offer long-format host-read ads, and here are the three reasons why our hosts are highly effective B2B influencers. Our hosts eat, live, & breathe tech. They are technology broadcast journalists OR experts in their field because it's required for the show. They deliver the ads with full knowledge of the product/service & understand how it works with a PE OR an implied endorsement. Our host-read ads are not a minute long. Our hosts take the time to cover all the features and benefits, provide testimonials on how it works for others, and they take their time to provide a proper introduction to their audience. They do not rush, and interstital ad reads can be a few minutes long. Nothing beats the ad being delivered by our high-integrity hosts since our fans trust our hosts. Remember, 88% of our tech-savvy audience is involved with the tech/IT decisions made at their company. TWiT.tv has been around since 2005, and our B2B ad reads stand out. As I said, we are one of the original B2B influencers, and our network delivers for our partners. If you are interested in advertising with TWiT.tv because you want the gold standard in podcast advertising, then please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP.

Today I am going to talk about the addition of DAI, Dynamic Ad Insertion, to our network TWiT.tv and the difference between it and host-read ads. First, a little context. When the pandemic first hit in 2020, we lost 60% of our advertisers in two weeks. We quickly realized we were one-dimensional because we were an ad-supported network that only offered host-read ads. Since 2020 we have added DAI, which means dynamic ad insertion, and we allow Advertisecast to sell our residual open audio inventory. We also diversified our host-read ad inventory by allowing agencies to book small test campaigns to complement their testing phase with new clients. However, 65% of our host-read ads are with direct partners, and we prefer to grow direct business because having a relationship with the partner is always better than working with an agency. Plus we care and know what we are doing and find that most agencies throw newbies on accounts and honestly waste their clients money because volume doesn't produce results unless you're working with the best and that's not what podcast clients get when going to an agency. Here is the difference between host-read and dynamic ad insertion ads: Host-read ads are delivered by our technology hosts, and they can provide insights, a PE or implied endorsement, features/benefits, and take as long as they want in an ad read to educate our fans about the clients products and services. Plus, the fans of our shows trust our hosts and listen to what they have to say about a product/service. DAI ads are producer-read ads that are inserted directly into our shows. They are :15, :30 or :60 seconds long and never longer. Plus, they are served until the download number is reached that was promised to the client. They do work well for clients and cost less than host-read ads, BUT they lack the trust with the audience because the audience doesn't know who's reading the ad. Both ads work well, and it truly depends on what a client is looking for, and personally, I would recommend both because it takes multiple touchpoints to convert a fan, and the more ways you can reach people, the better. Here at TWiT.tv, we care about brand goals and focus on what it takes to help them grow. If you are interested in advertising with TWiT.tv because you want the gold standard in podcast advertising, then please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP.

Last week I covered the importance of audience testimonials. Now I want to share what our fans say about our network. "I have purchased several items advertised on the TWiT network. I buy them because I trust Leo Laporte and his team's knowledge of the latest in technology. If Leo supports it, I know I can trust it." "I have bought and/or subscribed to a number of products and services over the years as a result of ads on TWiT network shows. The ads are thoughtfully done, and the trust the network has built with its community lends credibility and authenticity to the host-read ads. Some of the ad-hoc commentary during the reads is great too." "'Podcasts you love from people you trust.' Sponsors I've purchased from: Casper, Squarespace, LastPass, Bitwarden, Express VPN, Hover, Harry's, Fastmail, Eight Sleep, iTVPro, and Mint Mobile. I'm sure there are more, but I remember those off the top of my head." "I have several times purchased items that I have heard advertised on podcasts from TWiT.tv. Have listened to these wonderful podcasts for years, and the advertisements presented by the hosts of these shows seem like products I can trust, because TWiT trusts them." "I don't know about others. But when one of your hosts recommends something they are catering for clear concise solution to a problem, pair that with conviction and trust you have powerful pitch for purchasing." If you are interested in advertising with TWiT.tv because you want the gold standard in podcast advertising, then please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP.

Last week I covered the importance of building trust with your audience, and previously I have dived into sponsor testimonials. Today I want to focus on audience testimonials. Here are 3 reasons why they matter on our network. Being a tech podcast network, our number one focus is catering to our audience and delivering the best content and expertise that we possibly can to super-serve them. Because of this, 99% of our audience listens to every podcast episode they download from our network. They love our content and let us know with reviews, emails, tweets, etc., helping us grow, and they stay around because of it. Given we are in media, we are limited to sponsor and audience reviews only. This makes audience reviews crucial when we are looking for new hosts, sponsors, and partners. Because we do not invade our audiences' privacy, we need to hear from them, so we ask for their feedback. Feedback is important to share with potential sponsors, and it helps our network when creating new shows. Next week I will share some of the audience testimonials we received and why they are important to share with your potential sponsors. If you are interested in advertising with TWiT.tv because you want the gold standard in podcast advertising, then please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP.

When Leo Laporte, the founder of TWiT.tv established our podcast network in 2005 - he did so with his tech audience in mind. He chose to treat them with respect and full transparency and to deliver them the best tech news and analysis he could with other trusted expert hosts. When he decided to pivot and become ad-supported, he remained true to his original mission & applied the same attitude to sponsors. Here are 5 reasons why building trust with our audience has helped our sponsors. We vet ALL sponsors to ensure they have high integrity and trusted products/services that we would or actually use here at TWiT. We only sign vetted sponsors with products/services that will benefit the TWiT audience. We are clear when there is an ad read in the content of our shows, and our hosts do a deep dive into the features and benefits. Our trusted hosts only provide a personal experience (PE) if they have one to give. Otherwise, we provide testimonials of how it worked elsewhere. If a sponsor is a tech sponsor and something significant happened at their company, we cover the story with full disclosure that they are a sponsor.If you respect your audience, build trust in your community, and always apply transparency - then trust is established and maintained. Helping your network and your sponsors.

After attending the Podcast Movement in Las Vegas, I discovered that partners and agencies are finally into simulcasting. And lucky for us, TWiT.tv has been simulcasting all of its pods starting in 2009, well before YouTube became a household name and TikTok wasn't even a thought. And when I say TWIT.tv simulcasts - I mean, it's way more than YouTube, as most of our video downloads are outside of this platform. Because we've been simulcasting for years, we can show off our partners products and services. We can show off websites, how we use a particular software, etc., on air in our ad-reads. We also go out of our way and shoot b-roll of clients products if our hosts can provide a PE (personal endorsement). And since our ad reads are not cut off at 60 seconds, our hosts take their time introducing brands with all their features and benefits to our qualified audience. Nothing is rushed, and our audience trusts our hosts. In addition, we also send the video version of the interstitial ad read to our partners to use on social, our landing page, anywhere they want besides paid media. Are you ready to grow your business? Please email advertise@twit.tv, and we can discuss your growth goals. Thanks for listening, and have a great day.

Today I want to talk about the IT job explosion. LinkedIn's Opportunity Project recently produced 2023's Most In-Demand Hard Skills List. Here are the top 10: Software Development, SQL, Finance, Python, Java, Data Analysis, JavaScript, Cloud Computing, Operations, and CRM (Customer Relationship Management). In the current economic climate, every business is either a tech firm or a tech-enabled company, whether they admit it or not. Thus, maintaining your technical skills is crucial. Tech skills are the most widely sought-after quality across industries; according to LinkedIn statistics, skill sets for professions worldwide have changed by about 25% since 2015. By 2027, this percentage is predicted to double. New technologies are evolving how we do our tasks, and although not everyone has a background in technology, everyone should meet the basics of today's hiring standard. You can always get the most up-to-date analytics from experts on current tech news anywhere at TWiT.tv.

In previous episodes, I have mentioned our qualified audience, which is highly technical and full of lifelong learners. From our 2023 survey reaching over 10K fans, 99% of the TWiT audience listens to most or all of our podcast episodes, while 85% listen to ALL of our podcast episodes. The reason why our fans stick around is that the content is king, and the content of our shows is the #1 reason our fans come to us. The number 2 reason is that they want to hear from our trusted hosts. Because of this, our fans stick around for entire episodes of our shows. While there is some overlap, the average fan listens to approximately 3 shows, while a very committed group listens to all of our shows. We also have a Club where fans can pay to receive ad-free content, a platform on Discord to chat with like-minded fans, and bonus content. Even though these fans have a Slack channel called "All-the-Ads" because our fans want to know the brands they need to pay attention to, several do not download the ad-free content and continue to download the ad-supported shows because they want to hear the ads. Our audience wants to know what Leo, Mikah, Jason, and Ant say about the brands we are partnered with. This is how engaged our fans are.

Unlike radio and TV ads, the full impact of every podcast ad dropped on our network takes 8 weeks to reach its fullest impact. Here are the 3 reasons why - #1 You have to give the audience time to download the episode, #2 You have to give them time to listen to the episode, and #3 You need to provide them with time to act on the ad read. We place our partners on our sponsor page, show episode page, and in the RSS feed episode description. Direct partners also receive social media and newsletter promotion, and ALL partners receive over-delivery on ad impressions because we embed our ad reads, meaning they are evergreen and live in our content forever. When reviewing the results of a campaign on our network, you must review ALL the data to gauge the overall impact. Here are the five steps you need to follow. Review the total impressions delivered on our reporting document and remember that all ads take eight weeks to reach their fullest impact Review the visits to your landing page if a custom URL was established Review the conversion made if tracked on a landing page or offer codes Review the Podsights traction, as most fans will skip landing pages & offer codes because what's offered on them on our network is generally the same as the homepage Implement a post-purchase survey and ask directly from your new customers how they found you. I was given Fairing.co as a recommendation for this. You must consider ALL traction because, based on four years of data, we find that all DR campaigns are 3x+ greater than landing page visits and 6-8x greater for branding campaigns. We are the gold standard in podcast advertising, why go anywhere else? Reach out today to advertise@twit.tv, and let's discuss your growth goals.

Let's talk about advertising copy. TWiT.tv provides a full-service continuity team that includes ad copywriting. However, many of our partners choose to supply us with their internal ad copy. Often, these copies are mass-produced and not tailored to our highly qualified audience, which causes them to fall flat in conversions. Our audience is curious and willing to try. We know something needs to be corrected when numbers show that our listeners are visiting sponsors websites but failing to sign up or make a purchase. We modify ad copy to highlight the most important features while including the why and how it will benefit our audience. With our influence on the ad copy, we make stronger messaging which entices our audience to check it out. We've been in the ad-supported podcasting game since 2005 and know what works with our audience. Strong ad copy will clearly outline the what, why, and how for our audience, including testimonials, features, and benefits. Our audience is sophisticated and tech-savvy; they want to hear directly from our hosts because they trust them. This is why we encourage all our partners to collaborate with us to create ad copy. Here's an example of a SaaS sponsor who would not accept our input on ad copy. Their ad copy stated that they would save you a day a week if you used their service. It seemed compelling enough, but it lacked the HOW it worked. There were no case studies or basic examples of HOW and they were competing in a crowded space. We know we sent plenty of our fans to their website, over 2,500 visitors in less than three months using Podsights. Unsurprisingly, they saw hardly any conversions from these numbers because the ad copy fell short, and nothing was compelling on their website to support their call to action. If you are interested in advertising with us, please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP.

We understand that sales teams want to work with ad partners that deliver the most value for every impression. When a potential sponsor approaches us, it's almost always with a prior understanding of how we position ourselves alongside them. Our sponsors know our network, listen to our shows, and want to connect with our audience. You've heard it before; we frequently use the term "partners" because we look at each sponsor as a partnership, not only for the mutual benefit of our organizations but to benefit our audience. Because our fans are tech-savvy and security-focused, they expect more from our partners; generic landing pages and basic offer codes are not enough to review to understand a campaign's impact on our network. Unless there is a specific, attractive offer for our audience (i.e., TWiT listeners get 50% off the first month of service), our audience will google the client's name and go directly to their website. Generic landing pages, weak offers, and the same offer as a partner's homepage are meaningless when tracking our network. Why would anyone type out a specific URL when you'd find the same offer by googling the company's name? Another issue is our audience is privacy-centered and may use a VPN when visiting our sponsors. Based on our annual survey reaching over 10,000 fans, we know that over 20% of our audience forget about landing pages or offer codes and 50% that use them selects TWiT because it's our network name. Therefore we recommend using ad tech on our network; we offer Podsights, providing additional attribution insight. We also clarify that you must wait eight weeks after every ad drops to reach its fullest impact (and into perpetuity). Podcast ads take time because you need to wait for fans to download the episode, listen to it, see it elsewhere, and then act. It can take 8-15 touchpoints to motivate fans to convert, and we have the guidance to get them there. If you would like to learn more, please email advertise@twit.tv.

Here at TWiT.tv, we do not invade our audiences' privacy like Google, Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and the rest of the tech world. We rely on an annual survey to allow our audience to contribute information to us instead of tracking them to find out who they are because we want to respect our fans. It's not rocket science why podcasts have begun to dominate the media landscape. Podcasts are readily available and accessible to anyone with a listening device; most people can multitask while listening, and, most importantly, podcasts build community. And if anyone knows about podcast communities, it's TWiT.tv. (If you haven't already, join us at Club TWiT, where you can chat with hosts and producers, be the first to know about special events, plus so much more.) You've heard how much we love our audience, which is unquestionably true. Our loyal listeners make TWiT the best and longest-running tech podcast network. We love to hear feedback about what listeners look forward to hearing, what they don't like, how they prefer to listen, all of it! The more we can do to enhance our listeners' experience, the better. The 2023 TWiT Audience Survey was available for the month of January, and we received more than 10,000 responses. This annual survey helps us get a clear, general idea of our audience. It allows us to make better programming decisions and pick advertisers our audience will be interested in. We want to assure everyone that we do not identify our fans in any way and only use the aggregate information from the survey responses. (For example, "More than 60% of our audience are in management level or higher.") We know many fans take privacy very seriously, and we respect that.

Campaign Launches - The first ad drops live on air & published after the episode is edited and reviewed by our Continuity Team. The ad is updated in the reporting doc within 24 hours after posting the episode for viewing/listening. Impressions are updated every Friday until the end of the following month. The full impact of one ad takes 0 - 8 weeks. Campaign Updates - Ad copy can be updated weekly and/or by the show. We recommend sticking with one CTA throughout the entire campaign to build trust with the audience - ROI will be higher. Continuity will check your website for new services/products & will reach out if we recommend ad copy changes. TWiT Goodie Bag - You will be featured in our weekly newsletter, reaching 14K+ fans. We can provide courtesy commercials from every ad read that can be used anywhere besides paid media (i.e., social media, landing page, your newsletter, etc.). You will receive social media promotion on Inside TWiT's Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn accounts. Ad Tech - If you are using Podsights, the data will start populating shortly after your campaign begins and remember, they only track audio feeds. Since Podsights only tracks audio, we recommend grossing up their metrics to include video - Podsights is an excellent resource for attribution & lift. Campaign Reminders - If you did not use ad tech, then note that 50%+ of URL traffic will go to TWiT, and 20%+ won't use a URL - the average traction is 3x greater for DR campaigns 6-8x greater for branding campaigns than URL visits. We recommend extending your campaign if you only signed up for a test if you see traction. Our network sells out early, and you can lose traction with our audience - consistency equates to higher ROI.

I want to clarify the results of traction from a campaign on TWiT.tv - Because our fans are tech-savvy, privacy, and security-focused - landing pages/offer codes are not enough to review when understanding the impact of a campaign on our network. Here are three reason's why: Our audience will simply google the client's name and go directly to their website & most of the time, the offer on the client's homepage is the same as the TWiT offer. Therefore landing pages/offer codes do not work because why would anyone use one when it's the same as the client's offer? Our audience is privacy/security-focused, does not want to be tracked, and may use a VPN when visiting our sponsors. Based on our annual survey reaching over 10K fans - 20% forget to visit a landing page or use an offer code. Therefore we recommend using ad tech on our network, and we offer Podsights - please listen to episode 4 for a full explanation of how it works, which will provide additional attribution. We also clarify that you must wait eight weeks after every ad is dropped to reach its fullest impact. Podcast ads take time because you need to wait for fans to download the episode, listen to it, possibly see it elsewhere, and then act. It can take 8-15 touchpoints to motivate fans to convert. If you are interested in advertising with us, please email advertise@twit.tv, and we will get back to you ASAP. Thank you for listening, and have a great day.

TWiT.tv's ad format is as follows: each show episode has two ad positions for each sponsor - first is the host-read billboard (typically 10 - 15 seconds) and second is a host-read interstitial ad (typically 1-2 minutes and can be longer). Flash forward to 2022 - we still use this model today. First, I am often asked - why two ads? We adopted this model because we tested several formats before choosing it. The unaided recall (meaning the group that listened to an episode needed no prompts to remember the sponsor names) was 65-80% higher with two ads versus one. For sixteen years, the traction and impact of advertising on our network have been higher than other networks, and our audience stays with sponsors who appear on our network after making a purchase. This is also because we heavily vet ALL sponsors; they must have products/services that will benefit our audience. Our focus is on super-serving our audience, which in turn super-serves our sponsors. Think about it. If you hear 2 ads for 3 sponsors instead 1 for 6, don't you think you would remember who was promoted? It allows us to include a quick mention at the top of an episode that gives you a sample of what you can expect later, and then the second ad gives our hosts time to properly introduce our sponsors products/services directly to their fans. Our hosts do not read the ad copy. They pull from it and make their ad read unique and personalized. We also do not cut off an ad read at 60 seconds. We always take the time to properly introduce our sponsors to our audience. We produce results because our ad model has been tested and proven for years. We minimize the number of sponsors in a show episode. We deliver high-impact ad reads to a qualified audience, AND the most important part is that trusted hosts deliver them that our audience wants to hear from and not a random person.

In this episode, Lisa Laporte shares her wisdom around how to scale a brand using podcast direct host read, embedded ads. If you are a business owner looking for big brand exposure, reach out to Lisa or check out www.twit.tv/advertise.
Today I want to focus on "why" TWiT.tv's host-read ads stand out. First, our hosts are trusted by our audiences. They are experts, and they live, eat, & breathe tech. For example, my partner Leo Laporte carries multiple cell phones, codes in different languages, and reads about tech at least 4 hours a day. You can't fake knowledge or passion. All of our hosts love tech and remember our audience trusts them. Second, our network is a trusted tech source because we are clear when we transition to an ad read and do not offer paid reviews. You can't buy an endorsement from our hosts or network, and we only sign sponsors who have services/products that we believe in and that our audience can benefit from. Sponsors who advertise on our network that our hosts already love - win big. Our hosts also take the time they need to deliver a host-read interstitial ad, unlike other networks that cut you off after 30 or 60 seconds. We believe in covering all of the features and benefits and providing details as to why our sponsor's products/services work for you. Sometimes other hosts chime in if they have experience with the sponsor or their offerings. Sometimes our hosts provide deep insights into the features/benefits, especially when personal experience can be included. And our interstitial ad reads can be anywhere from 2 minutes to 10. It almost feels like part of the show because our hosts have the freedom to include their thoughts and experiences in the ad read. It's not scripted, making them more powerful.

Our sales process is more extensive than most. It starts with a 15-minute exploratory video call to discuss potential partners goals and needs with a campaign on TWiT.tv. We vet all potential partners and discuss their goals with our editorial team. We take care in providing the entire overview of a campaign and solidify partnerships by providing white glove service and only signing those who have products/services that benefit our audience.

What can I say about this week's guest other than he is genuinely one of the nicest men in the. industry. Mr Ant Pruitt, originally from South Carolina and now living in the Bay Area, Nth California, has worked hard and carved himself a career in tech and photography, finding himself working TWiT TV and their podcast. Ant has become a voice of authority on many subjects and brings a warmth and smile like no other. It was a pleasure for myself and Alan Hess to spend over an hour and a half chatting to Ant, we just didn't want to stop. We hope you enjoy it too!Ant on TWiTWebsiteTwitterInstagramLinkedinView AppearancesAnt Pruitt is a technology professional-turned photographer, videographer, and content creator. Born and raised in South Carolina, Ant was an enterprise IT professional for more than ten years in North Carolina where he spent most of his adult life. Ant eventually turned his creativity into a small business, providing writing, photography, video, and post-production services. He handled a range of assignments, including portraits, event photography, social media marketing, and interview videos. He also worked as a freelance writer for TechRepublic, covering consumer tech, enterprise IT, and tips for beginner content creators.Ant first appeared as a guest on the TWiT network in 2017 to share tips on drone photography and video. After a cross-country move with his wife and two younger sons (the oldest son is in the Army), Ant is set to co-host some of TWiT's established podcasts, as well as develop new shows with a focus on digital photography and video.
How do you create great digital content? A smartphone camera brought a photographer back to photography, but it also brought a passion for stories. Ant Pruitt is a content creator, and shares what he’s learned with his followers. Ant’s videos teach us in detail about photography, video, audio, design and more. Episode 85 of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking is a very informative conversation with the “master” jack-of-all-trades in multimedia.Ant shares a very cool story about how he was able to go from being a big fan of Twit TV (Twit stands for: This Week In Tech) to being asked to come onboard as part of the team. The passion for photography is evident during the conversation as Ant shares his perspective as a professional photographer. When you cruise through the showcase of photographs on his Instagram profile, you realize his talent behind the camera but also in post processing with photos and video as well. Ant defines his favored genre in photography as street photography. He shares a lot of insight to the process of street photography in this episode. It’s inspiring to hear the passion in his voice, along with his perspective as a professional.When I asked Ant about branding, the first thing he brings up is logos. And it’s not what you’re probably thinking. Listen to this episode of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking with Ant Pruitt to get all the insights, tips and advice.

From Andy: This was a really special conversation for me. I have been a HUGE fan of Leo Laporte and Megan Morrone for many years. Leo has had a radio show called “The Tech Guy” (who is Leo) on KFI in Los Angeles on Saturdays for almost 20 years that I’ve listened to on and off since it’s inception. And I’ve known Megan as his counterpoint on TWiT TV (This Week in Tech). When I saw via Twitter that Megan was reviewing our WLC App on TWiT TV, I almost fell over! By the way – the review is as fantastic as it is hilarious – you can watch it here. After watching the review, I started up a conversation with Megan on Twitter – when she asked me if she could come on the podcast to talk about tech, health, and fitness! Of course, I said yes… and the rest, as they say, is history. Enjoy! FORWARD TO A FRIEND - If you enjoy the podcast, please help us spread the word by sharing it.
