TWiM - A Small Review
When I first heard an episode of This Week in Media (around episode 10), I felt like it was a conversation that excluded the audience. When Alex Lindsay would present a story, there was no "for those that don't know what we're talking about..." It was an insider conversation that only the panelists were in on. I stopped listening.
A month or so passes...
I saw a topic was talked about on TWiM that I was really interested in (of course now I don't remember what that was), so I thought I'd give TWiM another shot. To my amazement, the conversation stopped for a moment and I heard "this is what this story is about." I've been listening ever since (they've only disappointed me once since I started listening again).
TWiM has a great panel of well informed experts on media. I'm glad they decided to let the rest of us in.

I am a big fan of TWiM too (heard every episode to date). Or should I say was a big fan. They recently "left" the TWiT network, and now post their podcasts on PixelCorps. There is a link to PixelCorps from TWiT, but it's just not the same. I've been looking into why they have left the TWiT homepage, but can't find any explanation. If you've heard why they've "left" TWiT, I'd love to know.
And I could do without John Foster. TWiM would be so much better without him. I find his cadence, delivery and attitude difficult to enjoy. I nominate Emery Wells to rejoin the TWiM cast.
I'm fine with the casting on TWiM. John Foster sounds like he knows what he is talking about, and often that is hard to find.
mmmm...Hazy, fuzzy logic.
Thank you for reading,
