Something About Bananas

Tech Conclave is a news style technology show founded and created by John Raul Joven II from the Philippines, but features news correspondents from around the globe. It's known as the Global Geek News Patrol.

John Raul is the News Anchor and also does all of the editing and production for the show but individual tech news stories are presented by geeks from all over the world, mainly the US and the UK.

The show is very well produced and has the production value as any of the mainstream news shows (Sky News, Fox News) but is aimed at tech related news particularly. Each episode is hosted on YouTube in 720p HD format and is about 10 minutes long (due to YouTube's time restraints) and covers between 5 and 10 of the latest technology news stories. A new episode is released weekly but due to the large amount of work in production it can sometimes be a larger gap between episodes.

More minor tech news can be read throughout the episodes scrolling along the bottom.
The great thing about Tech Conclave is that any body can be a correspondent. They just have to contact Tech Conclave to get a story.

I think the show is produced very well and is very informative and entertaining and deserves more of an audience than it has now. I very much reccommend you subscribe to Tech Conclave on YouTube and register on their website. You could even help out and be a correspondent, donate or even just favourite the videos on YouTube and remember the show's catchphrase, "It's good to be a geek"

Here is the latest episode of Tech Conclave in HD so let it buffer (or un-click the HD button) covering Firefox 3.5, Steve Jobs liver transplant, The new HTC Hero and much more.





[Extension]

Tech Coclave do not currently have the equiptment to create the show in an efficient way. The computer used to edit and render the show is not made for HD video rendering and editing and they desperately require a more powerful system. Here is there fundraising widget so if can, chip in.
