G+_william reynolds Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 listening to another Dvorak-heavy TWIT. Looks like he saved another one. John C. Dvorak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John C. Dvorak Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm not sure about that. I had as many call me a douchebag for questioning "authority" regarding the Boston incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mikhail Garber Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well John C. Dvorak , I am glad you did. Someone has to. Good point about traditional desktop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_thomas rinehart Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Dvorak always has something good to say. I have followed him for years in various magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Pete Marus Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm glad John C. Dvorak does try to bring a level of healthy skepticism of what media says in general. Its one of the things that brought me to No Agenda years ago. I just wish Leo Laporte and the other hosts were more open minded. I know its a tech podcast, but there should be a deconstruction of the tech news, which John brings. Its unfortunate he is made to look like the crazy old uncle.

G+_Aldo Merino Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 From the other side, I was grateful to Jason (and Leo, even) for getting the show back on track. Personally, I'm not a fan of his schtick. It's certainly not a real deconstruction of the news and a far cry from anything close to substantive discussion of current events, let alone politics. It's button pushing for button pushing's sake, and it bogs the show down into AM radio territory. I prefer his insights into food and wine personally;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Pete Marus Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Aldo Merino and Leo Laporte 's hack pseudo-shock jock gimmick lately isn't obnoxious and brings down the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Aldo Merino Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 No, not really. Leo isn't as consistent or obnoxious about it, and his 'shock jock' bit had a fairly short run, probably because he's gotten a decent amount of flak for it and because it's not really who he is, certainly not as an on-air persona. He dives into it more consistently on iPad Today, but iPad Today sort of has its own goofy, weird thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Remington O'Dell Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Aldo Merino I agree 100%. Dvorak is pretty good when he talks tech and wine (and chickens) but I wish he would give the anti-authorian schtick a rest. I'm not tuning into Twit for that. He should save it for No Agenda.

G+_thomas rinehart Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I enjoy listening to Dvorak with his humor. I have followed him in various magazines over the years, and he never gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
