Changes at TWiT

As we head into October, there will be a few changes on TWiT.

Starting next week, OMGcraft will be leaving our network. Chad “OMGchad” Johnson will continue his show independently, and new episodes will be posted on the OMGcraft YouTube channel.

We are also retiring The Social Hour. Originally called net@night, it is one of our longest-running netcasts, starting when “social media” was still in its infancy. As the landscape has matured and trends have shifted towards apps, we feel that social media coverage is now a part of almost every show on our network.

For similar reasons, redditUP will also be going on hiatus. It may return in a revamped form at some point.

Chad will continue to co-host The Giz Wiz, and you’ll still see him at the Tricaster throughout the week. Sarah Lane will continue to host Tech News 2Night and iFive for the iPhone, in addition to co-hosting iPad Today. You can keep up with Amber MacArthur’s latest projects by following @ambermac on Twitter.

Marketing Mavericks will be moving to Thursdays at 12 noon, starting on October 2.

As always, we appreciate your support as we go through these changes.  Leo and I continuously strive to make TWiT the best it can be and we couldn’t do it without you.

Marketing Mavericks

Technology has changed the way that brands engage with customers. Social media allows even greater interaction, and oftentimes, the most important thing a brand can do is listen. An engaged customer base yields authentic word of mouth marketing, and loyal customers are the most valuable marketing force a company can wish for.

Our new show Marketing Mavericks features conversations with the most interesting and successful digital marketers that work with brands (both large and small). Each week we will discuss topics like customer retention and loyalty, crowdfunding, crisis management, social media platforms, apps for business, and more.

The show records live every Tuesday at 8:30AM Pacific at live.twit.tv and you can join the conversation by participating in TWiT Chat. You can also email the show with comments and questions for upcoming guests.

Episodes are made available later that day for download and on demand streaming, and you can find past episodes and links to subscribe here.

Thanks for watching!
