  • Consistently Good Tech news with a bunch of nattering.

    Been listening to TWIT since the beginning. It’s a good way to start the week with discussions of tech news. Opinionated, fun, and sometimes cranky (see old man yells at cloud meme)

  • Typically good show, some are great

    This podcast is informative and entertaining.

    Some episodes are OUTSTANDING!

    Whenever Amy Webb is on the panel, Leo should keep his mouth shut until Amy Webb stops speaking.

    He inserts his thoughts when they are not helpful or necessary.

    Kevin Rose was on this episode as well as Amy Webb.

    Leo should do the ads, ask a question and let these experts speak uninterrupted.

    Nice staff at TWIT.

  • Gotten too political

    I religiously listened to this about 10 years ago. Fell off and recently came back to get away from politics and just talk about tech. WOW was I disappointed. This show should be ran by CNN, it would fit right in. Tried to escape, got scammed.
