I have been an active listener to the TWIT podcast for the last few years, however I was very disappointed with the episode that I just listened to. Episode 135 featured Leo Laporte, Jason Calicanis, Jerry Pournelle, and Wil Harris.
First, I cannot stand Jerry Pournelle on TWiT. He does not have a voice for radio, it is like listening to my grandfather talk about how he had to walk 50 miles in the snow to get to school. I am tired of hearing about his Sci-Fi books and how back in the day he did this and did that, blah, blah, blah…. He is the ultimate old curmudgeon. I am sure at one time he was a great tech writer, but I just do not see it now, I think he is past his prime.
My Second issue with this episode was that they did not talk about anything besides tech gossip. I was hoping to hear more about Microsoft’s MIX and maybe some substance from SXSW. Instead all that was talked about was Twitter, which I am so tired of hearing about, all Twitter is a chat room in a new package. They also went on and on about the Zuckerburg Interview blunder and the Wikipedia founder’s life.
I miss Dvorak…
