Who's show is SN? Steve's or Leo's?
I don't want to start anything (honestly)! Just want to ask a simple question. Does the Security Now podcast belong to Steve Gibson or Leo Laporte? Maybe I'm in a world all to myself, but when I listen to the excellent SN podcasts, I want to hear STEVE, not Leo. But especially in the past few shows, it seems Leo will repeatedly interrupt Steve in the middle of a sentence that I want to hear the rest of. I consider this very rude of Leo. Steve is making a point that I (we) want to hear, then looses his train of thought after Leo barges in and asks something. It's as if Leo feels we all want to hear what HE has to say and what HE is thinking about. Sorry Leo, not on SN. But then again, if it's Leo's show, I'll stop complaining. At least I feel better now just venting about it! :) -Tim

You could view it that Leo is effectively interviewing Steve, the expert, on a subject matter. Therefore, in the terms you have set out, I guess the answer is that it is Leo's show and it is one of the TWiT productions (Leo is producer, editor, and host). In general, I find Leo's "interruptions" well timed to avoid things getting too bogged down and they work well together - much better than either would on their own. We all have a subjective view on that though! Alan. -- The views expressed are my own, not those of my employer or others. My unmunged email is: 1bupdvc02@sneakemail.com (valid for 30 days min).

[for the unabridged version, see Tim Lemmon's post above] Alan and Robert are right. I would also mention that Security Now! would have never happened if it weren't for Leo suggesting it and making it happen -- along with the rest of his TWiT network. Although I know that my constant SpinRite testimonial reading has become redundant and annoys some, the podcast is the perfect marketing opportunity for SpinRite and that -- alone -- provides the incentive for me to keep giving the podcast any time that it requires. Our interruptions of each other are, I think, mostly a consequence of the fact that we're not face-to-face and there's some delay across the network through Skype, so it's not possible to read body language to determine what the other is thinking and when they're interested in interjecting a comment. -- ________________________________________________________________ Steve.

I imagine that the show would just not work very well if either of you tried to do it without the other (like a comedy double-act, the funny guy needs a straight guy to 'play off' else he is just being silly). I have listened to at least one other tech security related netcast hosted by a single person, and I gave up - it was just boring / dry / hard going. On the SpinRite ads - I fully support your including them (I have bought SpinRite purely because of the SN netcast to support you - I was aware of it for years before, but never did buy then). I don't expect to get something for nothing, but I would probably not buy the netcast if you charged, so I am very happy to 'pay' via listening to ads (not just SpinRite but other sponsors too). All the better that you use the interesting letters rather than just having Leo repeat the same blurb each week, but I would still listen even if he did! Thanks again for SN!
