TNT covers some of the frequently asked questions (FAQ) we get
here each and every week.
Q.) What is the Tuesday Night Tech Show?A.) The Tuesday Night Tech Show (TNT) is a weekly live comedy show about technology, beer and gadgets that also doubles as a podcast for the rest of the week. The hosts Dr. Soos and Mr. X talk about the week's tech events, usually making fun of these events and getting instant feedback from the live
Tuesday Night Tech Live Lounge chatroom. Part of the show is recorded as a podcast, which can be heard via the iTunes podcast store or our
website.
Q.) Can I take survey to help you make the show better?A.) Yes, visit the official listener survey
here which is a huge help in making the show better!
Q.) When is the Tuesday Night Tech Show produced? Weekly, Daily, etc.?A.) The show is broadcast live every Tuesday night on the fabulous Ustream.tv network (which you can watch on Ustream
here or on our own video page
here) at 9PM (Eastern Time). We do a preshow from around 9PM to 10PM, then we record the Podcast version of the show from 10PM to 11PM and then we do a post show from 11PM until usually about 1AM.
Q.) How can I listen to the show if I missed the live version?A.) You can subscribe to our
podcast feed on iTunes, or,
subscribe to our RSS feed here. Each week your software will automatically search for our new shows and deliver them to you when they are available. Our
website also has all the episodes in a mini-player.
Q.) Where is the Tuesday Night Tech Show hosted?A.) We are both coming to you from 2 small towns in upstate New York. Even better, watch a video Steve Carell (of NBC's "The Office") did of the actual town where our very own Dr. Soos lives.
Watch it here.
Q.) Can I advertise on the Tuesday Night Tech Show?A.) Absolutely! Get in now while the gettin's good! Contact us at
advertising@tuesdaynighttech.com. We can talk about your products or services, advertise them on our website or even on Dr. Soos' forehead during the show.
Q.) Where can I get a groovy TNT T-shirt or official TNT thong?A.) At our TNT merchandise store, of course! Find it
here.
Q.) Does the podcast version of TNT have the preshow and postshow from your live shows?A.) No, the podcast is only the portion of the show from 10PM to 11PM. You will have to either tune in live or go to our
Ustream page to see our video archives.
Q.) Why is the video quality of your video show on Ustream so low?A.) We turn down the outgoing video quality so more bandwidth is available for us, and, it reduces the out-of-sync issues at times for the viewers.
Q.) How can I contact the Tuesday Night Tech Show?A.) You can either leave us an e-mail
here or contact us on Skype when we are recording the preshow via our Skype name, "tuesdaynighttech." We are also on Facebook, which you can contact us (and join) at our TNT group
here. The best way to contact us is during the live show, where you can join our live chatroom right on Ustream.tv, or, the live video page, located
here.
Q.) Can my children listen to the show?A.) If you allow your children to listen to adult content, including adult language & situations and glorification of alcohol, then by all means they can listen! Otherwise, the show is designed for adults only.
Q.) Do I have to be drunk to listen to the show?A.) Since the show is attempting to be the best damn party on the internet each Tuesday, it only helps if you bring a cocktail when you listen! We drink anything from beer to wine to hard liquor on each and every show.
Q.) I heard you talking about a funny thing on the show and I want to see it on the internet, where do I find it?A.) All of the content we talk about is always located at our shownotes page, which can be found
here.
Q.) Hey, you guys sound familiar, where have I heard you before?A.) We were the hosts of the infamous "Macinchat Radio Show," broadcast over the internet in the late 90's, well before there was such a term as "podcasting." You can still hear most of those older shows in their entirety
here. The show ran about 20 episodes and was one of the only internet radio shows that focused on the Macintosh in those days. Did we invent Podcasting? Only you can decide...
Q.) I have a topic or a question I would love to have you guys talk about.A.) See the "contact us" section above. Please be advised that this is a comedy show, so, there's a good chance that we may either make fun of your topic or make fun of you for submitting the topic, so, don't take it personally. We personally review all submissions, of course.
Q.) Can I watch the live show at another time as a video podcast?A.) Sort of. You can watch the video archives anytime at our Ustream.tv sites. Find Mark's video
here or Bill's video
here. These are stored on the Ustream.tv site, so, you cannot take them with you on your iPod-type device.
Q.) Can I access the uStream live chat with an IRC client?A.) Yes, these are the settings to connect over IRC:
This link should allow your IRC client to open the chatroom.
IRC Server Name: chat1.ustream.tv
Username: Your Ustream.tv username
Password: Your Ustream.tv password
Channel Name: tuesday-night-tech
Q.) How is the show recorded?A.) The 2 hosts of TNT are not in the same room; Dr. Soos actually calls into Mr. X's computer with Skype telephony software and Mr. X records the audio from his end. That audio then goes out as a podcast when the show is over for the night.
Q.) Were you guys really on DiggNation?A.) OK, that's it--FAQ over. (storms off of the blog...)
