I enjoy the core 5by5 shows almost universally. I find a good deal of the stupidity from Leo Laporte's network is absent here. Dan has this thing down pretty well now and manages his core shows especially well. Someone else in this thread mentioned how Dan prods his co hosts to keep things interesting or moving. He really does a nice job and deserves success with his network.

5by5 puts TWiT to shame. The flagship TWiT show on sundays has slowly devolved into old people talking about dumb, stale Techmeme items and rumor speculation no one cares about, followed by endless self-promotion. You have Patrick Norton, Dvorak, and all these dinosaurs from the 90's who have been out of the tech game for years opining on things they have no business discussing.

I used to have lots of respect for Leo but he has bunch of faces depending on which show he's on. Goes on Windows Weekly and bashes Android. Goes to the Google show and shits on Microsoft.

Good speculation here. I think this is actually close to the truth
