    http://www.twit.tv/ - Weekly Tech "Radio" show, hosted by Leo Laporte, also regularly includes Kevin Rose, Patrick Norton, and other former TechTV/The Screen Savers hosts. It owns.

    Kevin Rose
    http://www.kevinrose.com/
    http://www.systm.org/ - Tech Show, focusing so far on only one project at a time, and pretty damn cool.
    http://www.thebroken.org/ - <---have 2-3 projects per show, sometimes, and also meant to be less serious than Systm.

    I'll get around to the rest later. Has anyone been listening to the This Week In Tech shows the past few weeks? I think it's awesome that they're using skype to do their shows.

    Patrick Norton and Yoshi, as well as others will be added to the URL list later today when I find them all.

    My dad loved their show back in the day (basically up until a little over a year ago I guess), and I became attached to it as well. Basically, once G4 bought TechTV, the show and the channel has gone downhill...WAY downhill. I didn't realize how bad it was until I listened to the 1st few shows that you mentioned. I kind of wish they could all be back on TV, instead of that crap on G4. I've been kind of busy, so I haven't listened to one of their new shows in a while, but I plan on listening to them pretty soon if I can.

    I'm also happy for Kevin that he finally got out of his contract. You could tell he didn't want to be there anymore. I only watched AOTS because of anything he could offer.

    TechLive..


    I really loved the old TechTV... the old TSS ROCKED untill alitte before G4 hit and turned it into a littles kids network with all the crap thats on there now.. I watch AOTS some, but nothing like I used to watch TSS with Pat and Leo..:mad: TechTV was in a hard Mrkt with hitting up the tech nerds around my age 20-30 the mrkt is too small for a all tech based network that doesnt air videogame shows for 80% of programming... oh well

    I'm not really big into tech or computers, but I absolutely loved watching The Screen Savers on TechTV a couple of years ago.

    I never really heard why or how abrubtly Leo left? I remember seeing Patrick on there for a while before (as I read a second ago) he was able to get out of his contract.

    I don't really watch G4. I really miss the old TechTV format.
