All of that live-streamed gameplay can actually lead to a healthy paycheck earned from patiently building an audience around their regularly streamed gaming sessions. Jason Howell and Sam Machkovech from Ars Technica pick apart the major streaming platforms, the hardware and software solutions for creating engaging live streams, and the ways that those streams can be monetized.

Customer Reviews
Entertaining and educational
This show is well produced and fun to watch. It is a must for any aspiring maker, hacker, diyer. Always great knowledge and interesting projects.
Unfortunately Not What It Used To Be
This used to be a great show about building, breaking, repairing and tweaking numerous technologies. Now it has become just another show touting junk that will be obsolete a couple of months after you buy it. There are thousands of podcasts, blogs, websites and YouTube channels that do the same thing in 1/10 the time TWIT wants you to commit here. I don't know about you, but I somehow lack the interest to sit through a 45 minute discussion about light bulbs. Your precious time is best spent elsewhere.
Average Show
This used to a five star show. That is untill Bryan Burnett left. Since then it has been one plug in host after another and none are a good fit. If you like maker stuff, and learning about some tech gadgets add this show as a filler betwen your other podcast.
