When Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) in St. Paul, Minnesota partnered with O’Reilly Media and Geek Squad to create a public television series based on MAKE magazine, it was a perfect fit. The Mac-based production team is full of born “makers”—people compelled to craft, create, and tinker. “I’m a woodworker, and almost everyone on staff for this project is a maker of some sort,” says Ted Hinck, managing producer at TPT, “so it was easy to feel a connection.”
