The New Screen Savers is a weekly online TV show (podcast) hosted by Leo Laporte on the TWiT.tv network. The show is a spiritual successor of The Screen Savers on TechTV.[1] On The New Screen Savers Laporte is typically joined by one of a rotating group of Twit.TV co-hosts including Megan Morrone, Mike Elgan (through December 8, 2015), Jason Howell, and Fr. Robert Ballecer SJ.[2] The show occasionally is co-hosted by guest hosts such as Iain Thomson, Patrick Norton, Martin Sargent, Jason Calacanis or Jason Snell. The show is produced by Jerry Wagley (lead producer) and Anthony Nielsen (producer, technical director).
The program features tech news, interviews with makers, tech evangelists, scientists, photographers, musicians, call-in-help, and more. It is recorded live in front of a studio audience in the TWiT EastSide studio in Petaluma, California, United States.[3] The show is streamed live on Saturdays at 3:00 P.M.PST and available on all popular podcatcher clients like Apple Podcasts, and Google Play. The show opener was filmed in San Francisco, CA and Petaluma, CA with the hosts riding Segways in-route to the studio.
