net@night was a weekly live TalkShoe show hosted by Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte. It was added to the TWiT.tv network on November 8, 2006 and is the first of the TWiT shows to be broadcast live on the internet. It was revamped to remove the live aspect and the new format aired on November 7th, 2007.

net@night showcases new, fun, and interesting things that MacArthur finds online, and interviews people It replaced a previous show, Inside the Net, in which MacArthur and Laporte interviewed the innovators and developers behind Web 2.0 sites and applications.

The show originally broadcasted every Sunday night at 7:00 PM ET (pre-show begins at 6:30), which enabled listeners to contact the hosts through text and voice chat. The live aspect gave the podcast a new level of interaction for consumers who were able to call in and ask questions of Laporte and MacArthur. The show is known for having a poor track record of not taking enough callers, and difficulting scheduling conflicts behind the scenes. Contributing to the eventuall revamp.
