I think it might be the fact that I’m a Jeff Jarvis groupie. And Paris Martineau is fabulous and has the perfect amount of snark and sass mixed with so much intellect that it’s mind blowing.</p><p><strong>Leo On Vacation</strong></p><p>This week, Leo Laporte, the chief TWiT himself was away. Paris and Jeff had <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/zitron.bsky.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ed Zitron</a>, who is a podcaster, but also a PR guy on the show. I was shocked when I heard that he was a PR person appearing on a TWiT network show. I always thought Leo shied away public relations people on the shows. Regardless, Ed’s no hold back, in-your-face views were amazing.</p><p>Paris did a great job keeping the show going. And Jeff was the amazing, grumpy-yet-still-happy, curmudgeon he aways is.</p><p><strong>So What Was Different?</strong></p><p>I hate to say it, the thing that was different was that Leo wasn’t arguing through the whole episode. I have mad respect for Leo and what he’s created with his network, but lately, it’s just not been as great. I haven’t really been able to put my finger on why exactly. But the part that was missing this week was in fact… Leo.</p><p>I don’t want to be too hard on Leo. He’s amazingly knowledgeable and I do value his take on things, but this episode was just so great.</p><p>Am I off here? Please let me know. I will die on the hill saying that this was the best TWiG yet.</p><p><a href="https://sethgoldstein.me/the-latest-episode-of-this-week-in-google-was-the-best-yet/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sethgoldstein.me/the-latest-episode-of-this-week-in-google-was-the-best-yet/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/critique/" target="_blank">#Critique</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/leo-laporte/" target="_blank">#LeoLaporte</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/opinion/" target="_blank">#opinion</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/podcasting/" target="_blank">#podcasting</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/twig/" target="_blank">#TWiG</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/twit/" target="_blank">#TWiT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/twit-network/" target="_blank">#TwitNetwork</a></p>
