Tech News Today is a podcast from the TWiT Network which is broadcast every weekday. The podcast is hosted by Tom Merritt and a rotating cast of co-hosts including Sarah Lane, Iyaz Akhtar, Darren Kitchen, Scott Johnson, Becky Worley, and Dr. Kiki. Jason Howell mans the tricaster during the show, though on rare occasions John Slanina will sub for him.
Each episode will "take you on a fun and friendly ride through the need-to-know tech news highlights of the day." In each episode, they'll run down the top tech news stories, mention other headlines in the "lightning round", and take a look at the calendar.
The show is recorded live on live.twit.tv every weekday starting at about 5:30pm ET.
