“For the past several years Leo has allowed his political views to slowly creep into the content of his weekly podcast. This also appears to be having an impact on his selection of guests for the show. Originally TWIT was never about politics. Now it is. My guess is that this is having a...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to TWiT and Leo for years, and it is still my favorite general tech podcast. Leo gets *great* guests who are incredibly knowledgable, and bang up-to-date on the latest news and developments, including AI. I can highly recommend This Week in Tech! :-)”

“TwiT has been around longer than virtually any tech podcasts (or any podcasts, for that matter). Every week there’s a new episode that does a good job of analyzing the latest tech news. I don’t always agree with everything the panelists say, but I always feel that I walk away more informed than...”Read full review »

“The best three hours you’ll ever spend listening about tech news. The audio quality is the best. All host sound great. Various guest hosts rotated through. Based on the remarks about Nvidia in 2017 caused me to buy NVDA stock then. The do long term thinking that has paid off for me. The security...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to TWiT since back when you had to load podcasts onto your iPod using a cable. Leo was the GOAT then, and he is now. New tech podcasters could learn a thing or two from Leo’s production quality and his classic radio voice. And he’s just a nice guy, that Uncle Leo.
All hail...”Read full review »

But in the last few years, Leo goes off topic, talking politics, religion (or lack there of - either way), and...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed this show prior to say 2017...after that...like most media...it became another “let’s denounce Trump every 15 minutes” show. I get it though, the show is in a very liberal area of California and I guess they feel the need to repeatedly remind the listeners how dumb Trump is....”Read full review »

“The recent reviews are all spot on. It’s a tech news show with guests that just want to soapbox about their latest political hobby-horse.

“Update 12/2023: TWIT podcasts are circling the drain. Leo Laporte has rid his channel of talented employees and banned guests who don’t kowtow to his egotistical narcissism. He has become a sad character who entertains listeners via unintended humor and episodic hypocrisy.
