Broadcast Engineers – especially Radio engineers – work behind the scenes to bring you most everything we listen to, including web-delivered audio. With encouragement from Leo himself, broadcast engineer and radio station owner Kirk Harnack brings you This Week in Radio Tech. Along with co-hosts Tom Ray, Chris Tobin, and Chris Tarr, TWiRT episodes feature sage audio advice, "There I was..." stories, and instruction from some of the sharpest minds in audio media technology today. TWiRT is smart, informative, and lots of fun for audio, RF, and packet-loving geeks.
Although the show is no longer in production at TWiT, you can enjoy these older episodes from the TWiT Archives.
