I never liked Chris Pirillo on the TV or radio. I subscribed to his newsletter
as well, back in the early days of it. Though, as he started getting bigger, as
you all already acknowledged, so did his head. And, I never really thought he
had the voice for radio OR TV.
Call For Help was the show that he started hosting, taking over Leo Laporte's
position on that.
As for Leo... I love the guy. I think he's great with people on tech stuff, and
especially now that he's got his syndicated radio show being broadcast in
numerous locations. I have only one problem with Leo. He knows a lot about this
stuff, yes, but I do not think he knows as much as he makes people believe. I
think he's very entertaining and pleasant to listen to, but I often hear him
give out bad advise (not HORRIBLE advise, just not the best advise). Other than
that, I like to listen to the guy and the others he talks to.
