What is the name of the longest-running weekly tech podcast, started in 2005?

The story behind the answer

The longest-running weekly tech podcast started in 2005 is This Week in Tech.

Usually called TWiT, the show was created by Leo Laporte after he recorded a round-table discussion at the 2005 Macworld Expo in San Francisco. The original participants included technology broadcasters associated with TechTV, such as Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, and David Prager.

The first episode was initially called Revenge of the Screen Savers, but a trademark dispute led to a new name. A listener suggestion of “This Week in Geek” helped inspire the final title, This Week in Tech. The program developed into a weekly discussion of technology news, consumer electronics, internet culture, and product trends.

TWiT is also the flagship program and namesake of the TWiT.tv network. It is sometimes confused with general-interest technology shows such as Stuff You Should Know, but TWiT’s defining format is a technology-focused round table led by Laporte and rotating guests. The show has been distributed as both an audio podcast and, for much of its history, a video podcast.
