The Tech Guy has jumped the shark
I’ve followed Leo since the late ‘90’s. I don’t think I’ve missed a podcast since he began doing it. I have always enjoyed it—until recently. Lately I’ve been getting disgusted with his political takes; as if we don’t have a million other places to go to listen to political rants! People listen to him for technology information and he’s always been great at that. But lately he’s begun injecting his progressive political opinions into his shows, and its disgusting. If I happened to agree with his politics, I probably would not care (like some of the other reviewers). But seeing that I don’t agree with them, it makes it tough to enjoy his shows anymore. Why has he allowed his politics to infect this space? What would you “progressive” reviewers think if he came out as a “right winger?” We all know the answer to that: you’d demand he be cancelled. For me, I will just choose another way to spend my time and gripe a little on my way out. Hey, I understand that sometimes people grow apart over time. Regardless of your political beliefs, we should all recognize the danger in injecting politics into spaces like this. Listening to Leo used to be an enjoyable part of my life, but not any longer. It’s a little bit heartbreaking, tbh.

Ok, it looked a little boring, then once I read the reviews, I knew it had to be good. It's fun to listen to. Leo Laporte has a very good sense of humour! I've also learned a few things for my PC. But everything has its ups and downs, right? I just listed the 'ups,' and now...Read full review »
