TWiT.tv, which is the operating name of TWiT LLC, is a podcast (though TWiT uses the term netcast) network run by technology broadcaster and author Leo Laporte. The network began operation in April 2005 with the launch of This Week in Tech. Security Now was the second podcast on the network, debuting in August of that year.

Currently TWiT.tv hosts fourteen podcasts and several live streaming shows covering various topics including the internet, computer security, Microsoft, Apple, food and current technology news. TWiT gets its name from its first and flagship podcast, the popular this WEEK in TECH. Starting in April 30 2008 Leo Laporte began broadcasting live video from his cottage in Petaluma, CA at live.TWiT.tv .

The format at times is free flowing however mostly serves as a live video feed of TWiT Network podcast creation. Guests usually appear via skype for their respective podcasts or may appear live in the cottage if they are in the area. Production is handled by Leo himself using a NewTek TriCaster streaming to flash video sites Stickam and Ustream.tv and BitGravity for main TWiT Live page.

Viewers can interact with the show through either Ustream and Stickam's chat rooms or through an IRC chat room.
