Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 7:29PM We can hardly wait for our first TWiRT show after a summer-long vacation! Chris Tobin, Tom Ray, Chris Tarr, and I are super excited to resume talking Radio Tech!
Please mark your calendar for Thursday, September 6, at 8pm US Eastern Time for our 1st post-vacation episode. We're going to have a blast, and you will, too.
In a few days I'll have the RSS and iTunes info for you so you can download TWiRT automagically if you can't be with us live.
TWiRT is proud to be on the GFQ Network. GFQ's founder, Andrew Zarian, and I got to chat about radio and podcasting. Here's that interview....

My hearty "THANKS" to you, our friends and supporters! We had several offers from podcast network owners to relocate, and I appreciate each of you who came forward to extend an invitation.
Tom Ray, Chris Tobin, Chris Tarr and I are rarin' to start in early September on http://GFQNetwork.com!
I invite you to go ahead and check out Andrew Zarian's GFQ Network. He's putting together a variety of shows - some tech-oriented, such as Paul Thurrott's "What the Tech?" and "Tech News Weekly".
Next we'll determine what DAY and TIME that TWiRT will be on. We *do* know that we'll do a test/rehearsal in about 2 weeks on the GFQNetwork, then restart TWiRT in early Sepetember.
Stay tuned!

Saturday, June 23, 2012 at 6:00AM My dear friends and colleagues,
On June 15th I got "the call". It was Lisa Kentzell, CEO of TWiT Network, calling to let me know that several shows on TWiT.tv are being cancelled. TWiRT was one of those shows.
I've always considered it a real gift that Leo encouraged me to begin the TWiRT podcast in the first place. While in Petaluma about 3 years ago, installing Leo's first Axia console, I asked Leo out to lunch and described my belief that a podcast for radio/audio engineers would have a great, albeit niche, audience. Leo encouraged me to start doing the show and, if it sounded good, he'd put it on TWiT.tv. Twenty episodes in, I got the green light from TWiT; they'd produce the video version of TWiRT. About a year later, Leo and TWiT made our podcast - along with several others - part of the TWiT family, including hosting and distribution. And that's where we've been for over a year now, enjoying all the clout and distribution benefits of being part of the TWiT family every week.
For all the above, I'm very grateful to Leo, Lisa Kentzell, and others on the TWiT.tv staff.
Leo, thanks everso for the opportunity to share making some good content with you and your team. I'm always grateful for that, and the TWiRT co-hosts, Tom Ray, Chris Tobin, and Chris Tarr, have enjoyed this chapter as well.
;)
So, what's next? The way ahead isn't perfectly clear. Here's what we know and what we're thinging about:
When we restart TWiRT in September, what changes (if any) would you like to see?
Please post your comments below.
Thanks for your support and friendship!
