THINKTECH HAWAII ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION CUT BACK AND NEW LEGACY ARCHIVE PROGRAM ThinkTech Hawaii has announced that it will no longer produce new video programs on a regular basis starting May 1. This decision is based primarily on ThinkTech's inability to raise funds sufficient to carry on its production schedule as before. As a nonprofit, it has received financial support from local corporate and individual underwriters, small donors and local grants. Program hosts, guests, directors and senior staff work on a volunteer basis. Jay Fidell, CEO, states, “We regret the necessity of taking this step, especially as our country is engaged in the most divisive election since the Civil War. We should all be following that, along with so many other troubling national and global issues, but given the difficulties of nonprofit fundraising these days, we find that we will nevertheless have to cut back and leave it to other media to further address those issues.” ThinkTech started on H...

REVAMPING OUR SITE Given our new production workflow (see last week’s ThinkTech Story), and our increased focus on publication dates for disseminating, archiving and retrieving our videos, we’ve revamped our website. More specifically, we have added a section on the home page called Latest Productions (most recently published). These are our most recent shows, ordered by their publication dates (that is, the dates they are uploaded and published on our YouTube.com channel ( YouTube.com/thinktechhawaii ).

Want to be a host - please let us know. Do you like talk shows. Do you like to engage with people and learn what they know in productive conversations. Why don't you consider talking to us about being a ThinkTech talk show host? So what does being a host would entail. Well, most of our shows are biweekly at a set production date and time Monday through Thursday. You would have to pick a subject and a name for the show, then recruit guests who know something about that subject, anywhere from one to say three people. Since we do all our shows on Zoom, they can be anywhere in the world. Our production manager would send you and your guests a Zoom link for the scheduled time, and our engineer would help you and your guests look and sound good. Then it would be up to you to talk to them, and ask them questions, and bring out their knowledge and expertise. Our shows are 30 minutes long and it's actually very easy to do that for 30 minutes...
