This WEEK in FUN

This WEEK in FUN, usually referred to as TWiF, is a Podcast Hosted by Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent, and is broadcasted on the TWiT network. Contrary to other TWiT shows, which are usually about defragging and MSCONFIG, TWiF is about fun. The hosts claim the show to be the antithesis of Steve Gibson's program on the same network.

The hosts avoid listener confusion at the top of the show each week by explaining that the show isn't about defragging, rebooting, or updating kernels.
Martin and Sarah riff on odd news items.
A regular feature called Tweet Beat has Sarah guess which of a similar-sounding pair of phrases has recently been tweeted more on Twitter.
In the True or Poo segment, Sarah must determine whether each of a series of news items related by Martin are factual or whether they are composed of poo. A variation, True or Poo: Lightning Round (Preview) has replaced True or Poo in recent episodes. Shelley Long is paid an undisclosed amount by Leo to call in on Skype each week and say "Preview" at the end of the thunderclap sound effect.
In Episode 37, Martin introduced the game Would You Buy It, in which Sarah attempts to predict whether or not she would purchase a consumer item described by Martin. Predictive answers (to date 100% correct) are provided by Wolfram Alpha.
During Episode 39, Leo joined the TWiF cast to announce that the show would be part of the first initial group of TWiT shows to appear on the recently-announced TWiT Roku channel.
