- Good question @chriseldred03 but new studio + great staff = better shows + bigger audience. And that means increased revenue. I hope. in reply to chriseldred03 #
- @webdude12 The audio will be fine – just some tweaks necessary. We were analog for years. in reply to webdude12 #
- Many people have noted that the new TWiT Studios look like the old Screen Savers set. We did use the same designer! I hope to live up to TSS #
- @smeeler Some shows will use the PR-40 – others will use Countryman-style headset mics. in reply to smeeler #
- @Smolek I'm betting that the long-term future of TWiT is live audio and video. Podcasting plateaued long ago. in reply to Smolek #
- @CaliLewis Daily wear disposables! Changed my life. in reply to CaliLewis #
- @davidamodt Yeah about 80% of our revenue is still from audio downloads. I'm planning for the future but audio is still job one. in reply to davidamodt #
- Great article. Thanks, Janko: Bootstrapping the CNN of tech: The story of TWiT http://t.co/wbTleyV #
- @txhoudini Yes TWiT's bootstrapped. Bootstrapping a business means spending based on revenue – not borrowing or taking investors. in reply to txhoudini #

We’re about a month away from moving into our new studios, two blocks away from the TWiT Cottage. (I’m predicting July 24 but we’ll see.) In case you missed the first walkthrough of the building it’s here:
But we’ve come a long way since then. In fact, you can see exactly where we stand on the TWiT Dropcam (thanks to Dane Jasper and the folks at Sonic.net who will be our primary bandwidth provider at the new studios):
Roger Ambrose, our creative director, is painting the floor right now, then we can begin installing lights, cameras, and wiring in earnest. We hope to be broadcasting from the studio around mid-July 2011.
Our brilliant lighting and camera guy, Brent Bye of Ocean Studio has created a Sketchup 3D walkthrough of the place which you can download from our Dropbox.
(You’ll need a copy of the free Google SketchUp program to view and interact with it.) Brent will be updating it over time and we’ll keep the latest version in the Dropbox, so check back.
We’ll be using the model to plan the placement of our 30 Canon HF G10 cameras and dozens of Kino Flo, Litepanels, and other lighting fixtures.
We have a great many people to thank for help with our new studio, including Crestron for studio automation, Newtek for the brand-new Tricaster XD850 switcher, Telos for our digital Axia audio system, Restoration Hardware for the furniture in the new studio, Bob Heil for our mics and stands, and many many others.
But most of all, I want to thank you, our community, for your perpetual support. There’s no way we could do this without you. And a special thanks to all of you who have bought bricks for our Wall of Honor in the entry foyer. As of today we’ve sold about 800 bricks, but there’s still room to buy a brick for yourself at http://bricks.twit.tv.
The new studio is going to be a major step forward, and your help makes it possible. We’re pretty excited – I hope you are too!!
