Here’s a few other things to know about the show:

– TNT will be put out as an audio podcast by 5:30 pacific, with video a few hours later.
– People will be able to watch it live by going to http://live.twit.tv, Justin.tv, or Ustream. They can listen to it live on http://live.twit.tv, at http://twit.am or in the iTunes radio listings. They can listen or watch live from the TWiT iPhone app or the TWiTpad app, and also in the ustream apps on the iPhone OS and Android OS. Additionally, if they go to Live.twit.tv on their iPhone/iPad, they can watch live using 3G – no wi-fi needed.
