TWiT is a podcast network run by technology broadcaster and author Leo Laporte. The network began operation in April 2005 with the launch of This Week in Tech. Security Now was the second podcast on the network, debuting in August of that year. Currently TWiT.tv hosts about twenty "podcasts" covering various topics including the Internet, computer security, Microsoft, Apple, and current technology news. Among the shows TWiT previously hosted were NSFW (billed as "TWiT's favorite mistake"), Frame Rate, and Game On!.
Their slogan was Netcasts you love, from people you trust until 2019 when the word "Podcasts" replaced "Netcasts".
BBVerse Connection
Brian or Justin have co-hosted or participated in the following TWiT shows:

- Game On! (with Veronica Belmont)
- This Week in Tech
- Before You Buy
- TWiT Live Specials

TWiT Appearances
Brian's in-studio appearances on This Week in Tech were usually whenever he was in California's Bay Area to shoot episodes of Scam School, roughly every 2-3 months. Scam School has since moved production to Austin, Texas.
Drama
At the end of 2013, TWiT had announced that Tom Merritt would be leaving the network. This triggered a series of events which can be read in further detail here.
