    Plasma-Based Sound Absorption

    Plasma-Based Sound Absorption

    Acoustically treating a room normally involves bulky panels and other passive materials that must be very large and thick to affect low frequencies. But a new technology could do away with all that, replacing it with super-thin panels that use ionized air to perfectly tame the acoustics of any room.

Monetizing Too Hard

There are better ways to monetize. Too many episodes are subscriber only. It’s like a forced Patreon. Also, many episodes are extremely short that could be combined.

Best TWIT Show but No More

Recently cancelled due to "comercial considerations"...not enough add revenue. What a bunch of DA's You should be able to support a commercial loser of this quality (the best). TWIT is becoming less relevent every day and they richly deserve what they are going to get.
