Spin-offs

Episodes of This Week in Tech usually feature a large number of hosts. Even with the episodes being around an hour long, there is not enough time to discuss all of the week's technology news stories, take listener questions, and talk about every host's current projects. Because of this, Laporte recently decided that he wants to create at least two additional podcasts. These spin-offs will be shorter, have fewer hosts, and focus on more specific issues.
