One of my favorite people (my Dad), Mike Elgan, is joining my favorite podcast (netcast) network, TWiTNow I can listen to him during my daily commute! :)▼ Reshared Post From Mike Elgan ▼I’m joining TWiT!I’m joining TWiT as News Director and Lead Anchor of Tech News Today!I know, I know! I had a dream job that enabled me to live anywhere in the world. In truth, there aren’t many jobs that could keep me rooted in one spot. But if you’ve followed me for the past few years, you know I’m a huge, HUGE fan of TWiT as an editorial voice, an entertainment juggernaut and as an organization. I’m incredibly excited to work with Leo Laporte and TWiT CEO Lisa Kentzell, the TNT crew iyaz akhtar, Sarah Lane and Jason Howell and the entire TWiT family. So I officially report for duty January 2. In the meantime, I’m going to be moving to (or near) Petaluma and getting ready to join what is easily the coolest technology content creation team anywhere.http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/4hL7
