In Case You Missed It…

Legendary tech guru and podcasting pioneer Leo Laporte graces our show, bringing his wealth of experience from a storied career that kicked off in the radio waves of 1976. In an engaging conversation, Leo recounts his transition from a beloved radio tech expert to a trailblazer in the podcasting world with the creation of the TWiT network. With trademark humor and insights, Leo shares tales from the early days of podcasting, underscoring the essential role that community and human connection play in creating compelling media. He also sheds light on the challenges he faced and the innovative paths he forged in an era when podcasting was still finding its feet.

Beyond Leo's journey, we explore the rapidly changing landscape of media consumption shaped by platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. As younger audiences gravitate more towards these platforms, we're left to ponder the future of traditional media and Google's place within it. Through our dialogue, we stress the timeless appeal of authentic and passionate content that resonates with audiences on a deeper level. The conversation circles back to the enduring power of genuine connections, as those hosts who can cultivate a sense of friendship with their listeners, often discover lasting success in this ever-evolving media universe.
