The great TWiT netcast is over
After many many many years of listening to almost every show every week, I have finally decided to unfollow all the TWiT network podcast as well as stop paying for subscriptions to the network. This is very hard for me to do as it was part of my life for so long. But the conversations have degraded over the past seven years. As of now every podcast is a Elon Musk dumpster fire. Regardless if you like the guy or not, not every show needs to have 30 minutes to an hour bashing Elon. We get it you don’t like him and we also get it, you don’t like anybody politically in the middle or to the right. I really enjoyed the days of the TWiT shack, and the brick house, where tech and new progressive technologies was the flavor of the day with a hint of politics. And the constant complaining of not having enough advertisers, without looking in the mirror is cringe worthy at this point. Some of my favorite podcasters such as Jason Snell, and Alex Lindsey have other shows that I can now enjoy. I get a morning brief with Paul Thurrott now, and I am hoping he can have a better long form podcast somewhere else where tech is the most important part of the conversation. I even listen to Jason Calacanis now and prefer that podcast over Leo and the TWiT network, which surprises me because I did not like Jason initially. lol. Leo Laporte was one of my favorite people to listen to for over a decade, and I will check back in a year to see if the network has pivoted to a tech centric podcast. I wish everyone on the network the best and I appreciate all of the years and shows that I enjoyed with you all, week after week.

There simply is no better Technology discussion podcast out there. This is the gold standard.

If you have any interest in tech and computers, this is the podcast for you. It's light, humourous with personalities that are well known from Tech TV. It's also very informative without being boring. Highly recommended!Read full review »
