  • Off the TWIT Train

    Not only has the political discourse become straight up hateful, and I don’t like the current administration, but a lot of it doesn’t even relate to tech. Plus, Leo’s not going to stop interrupting the guests. The straw that broke the camel’s back is now they are pushing at least two “you might like” podcasts from non related creators.

  • Still Political

    Enjoyed this show for many years until it became non stop political so had to stop. Gave it another try this week after 6 months. Complete waste of time, still so ignorantly political.

  • Leo please stop interrupting

    And talking over everyone. Good lord. You don’t have to prove you know what the person is saying by saying it over them before they finish the sentence. And you’re usually wrong, to boot. Shut. Up. For. A. Minute. Geez.
