Leo LaPorte and I talk and talk: Steve Jobs, Talk Radio, the Indie Content Biz and Insemination
Watch live video from TWiT Live on Justin.tv
I had a lovely time guesting on This Week In Google recently and afterwards Leo and I chatted. It turned into a kind of spontaneous broadcasting marathon with about 8,000 folks tuning in live. I had just inseminated for the first time that morning and we talk about that and all the tech and absurdity involved. If I am pregnant (fingers crossed) then this would be a heck of a way to start the baby book memories.
Leo and I talked about a lot of things, among them: his years in radio, people he's interviewed like Jimmy Stewart and Adam West, his weekend with Steve Jobs, comedy, why talk radio is so emotionally melodramatic and how to do independent content online and make it work financially.
It's been said many times but I'll say it again: Leo is a total mensch and maybe one of the nicest people in broadcasting. You know how Conan said work hard and be kind to people and good things will happen? Leo deserves to receive an endless supply of good things.
2/09/10 Update : Leo was kind enough to tell me today that the success of our jam session has impacted how TWiT will do some of its programming. More affirmation that the more interested you are: the more interesting you are.
