Not nearly as wildly off-topic, rampant over-talking, etc. Still made it obvious that the alcohol was flowing, but by explicitly talking about the types of wine on hand, not through behavior and attitude. So... I'm staying subscribed... for now. TWiT's getting a second chance in my book. But next time will likely be the last. I still highly recommend their other shows, though, especially Security Now!

Windows Weekly, Security Now, and FLOSS Weekly are the three shows that are holding my interest. TWiT and Macbreak Weekly had been my favorites, but have fallen in quality dramatically in recent months. I feel that the additions like live video, the Twit Army site and the other things Leo has been adding have been coming too quickly. It seems that he's neglecting some of the details and in the process it's alienating some of the older fans like us. When he shut down the TWiT donor forums, some of the community there created a new forum to keep it alive at http://www.revengeofthetwitforum.com/. I'm skipping the most recent episode, but will give the next one a final chance. I’ve been going down the same path lately.
