Leo is a very interesting person with many great views and lots of insight.
Leo’s got to be laughing all the way to the bank on this.
My favorite moment must have been a slip on Leo’s part when he mentioned that his new IPTV show would be called “Maccast.” You did an audio “double-take” when he said this, and he quickly made the change.

 :: Interviews : Leo Laporte: The PC and open source will outlive Windows
Laporte said he sees the proliferation of free open source software and open content as hugely positive trends, and even a possible bulwark against the really nasty kind of social control that George Orwell worried about in his book, 1984.
Leo thinks that central control is going to be challenged by the power of the distributed production and marketing models of open code, whether that central control appears in the form of a monolithic government like China, or a juggernaut like Microsoft.
Again, Leo is not the first person to take this position, but among prominent tech media personalities, he is an early leader in being publicly vocal on this point.

 Newsvine - Leo Laporte calling time on TWiT?
Then one day Leo jokingly commented about his former show Call for Help, that he would be willing to travel anywhere that wanted to pay him to do the show again.
As I said, Leo deserves a lot of respect for the effort he has put into Twit.tv, and the work he has done is instrumental in the state of podcasts and technology oriented media on the Internet today.
Perhaps Leo has spread himself a little thin with so many netcasts and the tendency of most would be to go with those shows that aren't as much work or so hard to get people together for.

 Leo Laporte wants to rebrand podcasts as 'netcasts' - I agree - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Leo's second reason, and one that I feel is a bit more significant, is the implication of the deep roots the term 'podcasting' itself has grown, in light of its relationship to the iPod as a word and a product.
LaPorte appears to be looking to line his own pockets (as indicated by his desire to trademark the term) as opposed to altruisticly opening 'netcasts' to a wider market.
If Leo was the *real* journalist instead of an over active imagination he would have gotten an Apple representative to do an interview and discuss the policy of protecting their trademarks, or something.
