About Us

In the process of bringing you the Twist1 Show there are many people who lend a helping hand. Below we have supplied some information about these people.

The Twist1 concept was conceived by Greg Baumann & Brian Porter as a labor of love for sports and the banter we all seem to have for it.  The goal is to grow the show into a video based (as well as audio based) show, which will be published on a weekly basis and consumed by sports nuts world wide.

Head Twist Greg Baumann: (Head Twist) I majored in history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and all of my sports opinions come from sports talk radio, and the insane amount of time I spend following sports related topics!!!

My goal is to throw out an opinion on a sports related topic, and get others to comment on that opinion!  Brian is doing great right now, however I can't talk about Nebraska football all year!!!!

I will put my money where my mouth is... Prove to me that you know more about sports than I do, (and you don't get paid for it) and I'll buy you a Twist1 T-shirt!

Like most young boys I grew up passionately playing and watching all types of sports, and now with my current life situation I have the opprotunity to consistently stay up to date on most on or off the field sports topics.

Currently Brian is involved in producing, editing, and from time to time appearing in the Twist1 show itself and will be working to raise the needed donation money to purchase the video equipment needed to jump to the next level. Brian also runs the Twist1 web site, collects the donations, pays the bill (please donate), and gets yelled at by the listeners when the show is late.
