I have been watching Leo Laporte & Friend since “The Screen Savers” on what use to be TechTV (Don’t even get me started on the fact it’s no longer on the air) back in early 2000. His shows have to be my favorite Tech news & gadget shows ever and there have been many. They informative and entertaining but what I like best is the fact he never presumes to know it all and is not afraid to admit when he is wrong. Leo is not perfect and I’m OK with that, In fact I appreciate it. He surrounds himself with smart knowledgeable people and together they make up the TWIT network. I’m proud to be a member of the TWIT Army. Check out this interview, follow the link below…

It all started with boredom. Leo Laporte had a few gigs with TV and radio networks back in 2005, but his work schedule left him with nothing to do half of the month. So he started an audio podcast called This Week in Tech, also known as TWiT. He asked listeners for donations, which allowed him to hire production help and add additional shows. And then, one day, he told his then-bookkeeper Lisa Kentzell about his real goal: to become the CNN of tech.

“I said: Okay, let’s do it,” recalled Kentzell when I met her and Laporte in the TwiT cottage in Petaluma, Calif. last week. Kentzell is now the CEO of TWiT, and the company is ready to take the next big step towards its ambitious goal in July with the move into a spacious new studio built with a 24/7 live video operation in mind.
