TWiT
I got the chance to do TWiT today. I was pretty nervous. I thought I did well.
It’s not a unique story, but I’ll tell it anyway. When I first started thinking about podcasting on a regular basis This Week in Tech was the show I listened to as a reference guide for… well… what a podcast should sound like. Leo’s effortless delivery and ability to poke a compelling conversation out of a topic like Linux releases amazes me to this day.
When BBLiveShow was baptized in the waters of Petaluma and rose anew NSFWshow it was an honor to be a part of the team. But my role on NSFWshow is something very different from the rest of TWiT. I am loud. I substitute careful thought for quick jokes. I am loud. Instead of supportively tossing a topic between hosts I often intentionally sabotage Brian for lulz. I am loud.
This has led to a running joke amongst our fans that I am the feral animal of the network, never to be trusted around the flagship show for fear that I’d scream and yell over guests and make an off-color joke before the first break.
When we started booking Andrew Mayne’s lecture through the Bay Area I knew I wanted to try and get on the show. Thanks to everyone at The Cottage, I did.
It was a pretty cool day. So, here it is- TWiT 307: I’m With Stupid
