How do TBPN Live events differ from regular recorded episodes? This guide compares the formats, explaining unique aspects of each and helping you understand what to expect from Technology Brothers live versus studio recordings.

Format Differences

TBPN Live Format

TBPN Live episode structure:

  • Audience Present: Live audience creates different energy and dynamics
  • Real-Time Q&A: Audience members ask questions during or after recording
  • Less Editing: Live episodes typically have minimal post-production editing
  • Time Constraints: Venue schedules may limit episode length
  • Special Guests: Live events often feature notable guests

Recorded Episode Format

  • Studio Recording: Just John and Jordi (or guest) without audience
  • Flexible Timing: Can run as long as needed for thorough discussion
