New Podcast! :: The Social Hour // Episode 1

The Social Hour Logo

The TWiT Network is rolling out a brand new podcast that features some old TechTV stars that you probably already know: Sarah Lane and Amber MacArthur!

The show is called The Social Hour, and will focus on all things social media, web-based, location-based, you get the drift. The show may very well be the replacement for net@night, so stay tuned – if the show is weekly like we think it is, and if it replaces net@night like we think it does, then we’ll bring it to you!

In the first episode, Amber and Sarah will try to understand what Color (the app) is all about, soundtracking for people who love music, ponder the question of whether or not Rebecca Black made money off of “Friday,” and more.
