Those of you who watched ZDTV/TechTV in the old days (before the dark times, before the empire... er... G4) will remember The Screen Savers. This show focused on the latest in computers and technology and was hosted for most of its run by Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton, and later by Kevin Rose. It was a fun watch as they would always have some sort of cool hardware or software, or some sort of hack to discuss.
The show underwent a radical transformation when the network was bought out by videogame network G4, and most of the original cast has gone their seperate ways.
Recently, though, Leo, Patrick and Kevin have got back together with other former members of the cast and is doing a weekly podcast called This Week in Tech.
For those who aren't familiar with podcasting, its like a radio show that you can download and play on your iPod, PC or other personal mp3 player.
The show, called TWiT for short, usually runs about an hour long and discusses tech news of the week with a healthy dose of general tech chat. They answer listener questions as well, much like the old show.
Information on ways you can download and listen to their shows can be found on their podcast info page.
