I just quit listening to Leo and here's why.
Leo, most of the time, interrupts callers and guests when they are talking and he always gets himself taking about his travels, cars, etc. It's really annoying. I completely understand about the need of sponsors for the show, however it's foolhardy of him to advertise a product just because he's being paid for, and not because it's a good product, which respects, for instance, the privacy and security of users, especially when you have a show that talks to people who are not always technical or familiar with technology. I recently listened to an episode where he (and his wife, he told) claimed to use LastPass (a really bad password manager for various reasons), however, now that he's been sponsored by Bitwarden (a great foss password manager btw), he talks about it as he was a long time user. In other words, whether he recommends a product, always do your own research and don't take his word for it. The show is only about making money from sponsors, whichever they are. That's why he's very cautious when talking about any company - even if the company is bad. You never know if they're willing to sponsor the show. And finally, as already mentioned in another review, the show is too long and kind of repetitive. Leo repeats frequently the same answer to the listener over and over. Sometimes it's not even a helpful answer technically speaking, but his political and commercial point of view. Please, don't take my opinion as intolerant. As rough as it sounds, I've tried to make a constructive criticism. The show might be great for some folks, it's just not for me.Read full review »

In a field of Wannabes, Leo show them how it is done. Perfect for backgound listening while you do work...or focused iPod headphone listening.

Good for newbies, boring for tech junkies.

I am one of so many techno crazy guru's that cant get enough. I mean what a great hobby to have and unless you want to waste a lot of money buying the wrong products ( ie hd-dvd compared to Blu-Rays here recently) this is why we need people like Leo so much to educate us and keep us up on...Read full review »
