Leo Laporte, founder and owner of the TWiT Podcast Network, is an elder statesman of technology and terrestrial radio. In our conversation we wandered down memory lane, reflecting on the influences and turning points of Leo’s career, his network and studio, and the industry as a whole. We peek into the future by understanding the past. The day before our recording, Elon Musk closed on the purchase of Twitter, and gave us the opportunity to learn of the checkered history between TWiT and Twitter at Twitter’s founding, and now again in Musk’s self-nomination as Chief TWiT - a title Laporte has carried since TWiT’s founding. We explore the broad evolutions of broadcast TV and radio, social media, podcasting and advanced technology. We dive into mentors and inspirations, laws versus norms, exciting emergent trends, best practices, using the act of listening to turn interviews into conversations, and more. Join the conversation that leaves us with “Laryngitis in Las Vegas.”
