Hay @Leo, I noticed this on the TWiT main-page:
We are always interested in new advertisers who have products that would benefits our audiences.
Extra ‘s’ on benefit.

Please excuse me if show ideas are unwelcome, but given all the stuff regarding government surveillance and related bovine excrement, would you think of doing anything around forensics and issues in law enforcement in addition to Security Now?
I listened to TWiT earlier and couldn’t help thinking, ‘It’d be interesting to hear what the government/law enforcement response is to some of the issues created by the misguided policy ideas they come out with.’
Along those lines, Steve has agreed to have two officials from CISA on a show soon. Should be interesting.

Hi, I would really like to encourage offering full timestamps to twit podcasts, as many podcasts are doing now.
I used to listen to many of the twit shows, including This week in tech, macbreak weekly, this week in google, windows weekly etc. Now though, I only listen to Security now, and there was really no big reason why I stopped listening to the other shows. Recently, I stumbled on This week in google after not listening to it in a while, and started listening, and figured out why I had stopped listening to many of the shows. I no longer have the time to listen to everything all the time, and without timestamps, a listener is faced with an all or nothing choice, they either listen to two hours, or nothing. Without timestamps, a listener has to scrub to find the topic they want to listen to, or, just listen to everything. I know that a transcript of topics is included, but its not the same scrubbing to find the topic you want to listen too. I would listen to the other shows with the timestamps. For me personally, Security Now is worth listening to the entire podcast for, every week, but that is what it takes now to listen to a podcast that comes without timestamps, you have to really want to listen to all of it.

Hi there. I’ve been a listener of the Twit network since the beginning and a club twit member for about 2 years now. I have 2 suggestions that I think would make nice improvements.
- Mention the sponsors even on the club twit feed. Before Club Twit, I always appreciated Twit’s careful selection of advertisers, and I purchased from them several times. Even though I pay for Club Twit, I would actually like a (very) quick mention of the show sponsors as historically its the ones I didn’t know existed that I ended up buying from.
- Chapter separators in the podcast feed. Maybe this is only for club members. But one of my other home tech podcasts supports chapters in their podcast and it makes it much easier for me to skip segments that don’t interest me. Its a feature I didn’t know I needed till I had it. For instance, I’m not a gamer and PaulT’s XBox segment rarely interests me. Being able to skip to the next chapter would be awesome.
Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!

Maybe they mention it in the end so people can choose to ignore if they want. @Leo probably can have a better idea.
@Leo where’s a good place to share a video I made for the 20th?
I also thought that TWIT advertisers were carefully selected before they were endorsed, and became a customer of several. Now. previously endorsed advertisers seem to be abandoned in favor of competitors. This makes me wonder about TWIT actually trying and endorsing advertisers. Maybe things have changed.
What happen to “Lastpass Studio”, Casper, Hover, and others. Now competing products seem to get TWIT’s endorsement. Were the previous endorsements real? Money talks, I guess.
