A Really Good Show That Could Be Great.
MacBreak Weekly has three regular panelists along with host Leo Laporte— Alex Lindsay, Andy Ihnatko, and Rene Ritchie. These are three extremely knowledgeable Apple tech journalists who are very entertaining. The show covers All Things Mac and often some related items as well. Hugely informative, and very entertaining. The only downside, and it’s a hugely annoying one— Leo Laporte. He’s not nearly as knowledgeable as he thinks he is. He’s constantly making misstatement and equally constantly being corrected by his panelists. But he also often goes off the rails, jumping to conclusions quicker than Emily Litella. And if his panelists fail to a agree with him, he makes his displeasure known. The most egregious of Leo’s offenses is that he constantly talks over his panelists and co-hosts, interrupting them to steal their thunder. He just HAS to show us that he’s the smartest guy in the room, while feigning self-deprivation. There’s no TWiT that won’t be improved by Laporte going on vacation. The show gets five stars for content and the panelists, but loses two because Laporte won’t shut up.

I watched this podcast for years. Then I discovered other podcasts which were more interesting for my personal taste. After two years, maybe more, of break I watched it today again. I was right, I cannot watch it anymore. Nothing personal, but you guys are just too old. Nice anniversary,...Read full review »
