How do you watch or listen to TWIT?

I watch your shows on my Roku. I am concerned that this app/channel is no longer supported and not getting the latest shows. I do not like YouTube because it doesn’t keep tack of where you are in the show.

Please create an official Roku app.

I’m prob 50/50 using Pocket Casts to watch video on a Mac and listening to audio in the car or headphones. Now and again I’ll watch something on the TV via YouTube.

I’ve discovered this recently, there’s an Echo skill (Stream Player) that will stream the TWiT live stream to a Show or Spot. Nice hair @JasonHowell!

How do you add Twit shows to a Plex server? I haven’t been able figured it out.

From your Plex server, make sure Web Shows (and Podcasts if you want the audio podcasts) are enabled. It’s under Online Media Sources. Then from your Plex client, you can navigate either Podcasts or Web Shows and play TWiT content.

Thanks Jamze, that did the trick! I don’t know how I missed it! :slight_smile:

Why thank you. That hair is actually pretty versatile. It ranges from Spock to Liam Gallagher.

I mostly use Pocket Casts to listen to audio versions of TWiT shows, but I kept the paid version from early in 2019 before they did the major redesign (it’s the only app in the Google play store that I have turned automatic update off on). The only TWiT podcasts that I get in video format are the special events and the new photography show.

I stream the live feed through my Logitech Squeezebox into a low power FM transmitter so I can listen as I do chores or mow my 2 acres of grass on the Next Radio app on my cellphone. Sometimes I watch on my TV through Roku and occasionally I download the podcasts and listen as I drive.

I have a weird setup.

I still use the Juice Podcast Receiver to download the video episodes to my Dropbox. Then those episodes sync between my home and work PC. I watch the videos locally on VLC.

I’m a delivery driver so I’m in and out of my car (mostly in) from 10 AM to 8 PM weekdays (except break from 2-4 usually). I use Pocketcasts on Android to listen to Podcasts all day (mostly audio, some exceptions for video), both TWiT and non-TWiT shows. I use a Bluetooth earpiece in one ear usually (never both ears while driving). Oh, and I always listen at at least 1.5x speed (sometimes up to 1.8x), and also have music on simultaneously.

TWiT shows:
This Week in Tech
All About Android (video)
This Week in Google (video)
Windows Weekly
Hands on Photography (video)
This Week in Enterprise (often skip the guest segments if they are specific to an area I don’t care about)

I used to listen to This Week in Law, and will also throw in some Triangulation, Hands On Tech, and possibly Tech Guy if I’ve caught up on other shows and need more to listen to (which is rare), or if there is guest and/or review of particular interest.

I like Pocketcasts for video as well, since I can use it mostly as an audio player in the background (and when the phone screen is off), and switch to video if there is something visually interesting going on. Plus it handles both audio and video sped up with no problem. Ocassionally if there was something of visual interest on one of the audio podcasts (or special events), I might watch video episodes later at home via Youtube.

Normally I started in the car while driving to work. End of day again on the drive home (would during work but it’s bit heady IT stuff so gotta focus). Once home on my Google Home while making dinner.

I usually watch TWiT shows via the main website or YouTube whenever I’m in my PC. Watching TWiT episodes feel comfortable, especially when you look at the warm and cozy background that is used in TTG.

When I’m not on my PC, I listen to episodes/podcasts on my phone (I should try using the TWiT App for a change).

Late to this.
I’ve been using Podcast Republic on Android, but I’m transitioning away from Android to Windows and am in the process of testing out Spotify as my podcast manager (not my favorite UI so far).

Tangentially related, why is the Mixer channel so locked down no one can talk on it? You have to be a channel level of 50 to speak, which makes me think that it’s as high as mixer allows for limiting, and that it’s intentional to keep interaction with the channel to a minimum. I’m just not sure why.

I watch HOP on youtube - and I have to say this because it keeps coming up in other shows that I listen to in audio only; 720p is just fine. If you want to go crazy and switch to 1080p, okay, but you’ll be caring about it a lot more than I will.

I listen to AAA, TWiG, and TWiT, via PlayerFM on my phone, usually when I’m walking or when using my hands and I’d be bored otherwise (like washing dishes).

I listen while jogging, biking and working out. Once in awhile, I’ll watch a video version.

iOS podcast app on commutes to and from office. On 1.5x speed. I’ve watching lately on Plex Web shows and I forgot what you guys normally sound like!

Hi wasn’t thinking when I answered the question. My wife and I make twit a weekly habit. We watch on YouTube we always wait til “another twit is in the can” and bet on the best title. Over 800 episodes! A lot of knowledge being absorbed. For podcast listening we use Google podcasts to listen to politics. But we have a library in Ossining that loans audiobooks, we haven’t left our home much since we have been in a hotspot since the very beginning.

Leo and I were born under the same 1956 Sagittarius moon, he in Manhattan, me in Brooklyn. Fun to watch ourselves grow up.
