Technotainment
I used to be an avid Gillmor Gang listener before the canned it at its peak in something like a Faulty Towers/The Office move. I also listen to the TWiT podcast but recently I’ve become rather disappointed by its content which I’ve decided is best labelled “Technotainment”. The biggest difference between the two shows is that on TWiT whenever they talk about something which I know a lot about they seem to get it totally wrong. Whereas with the Gillmor Gang it was almost always the opposite with them providing a different and interesting angle on the subjects.
This leaves me in a position of distrust with TWiT… thinking: “if they are completely off with stuff I know about, are they the same with stuff I’m not an expert in?”
Steve, please bring back the Gillmor Gang… train journeys suck without it!

I couldn’t agree with you more! I have been really disappointed with TWIT lately. It seems i often no more about a given topic via techmeme & digg then they do.
I looked forward to the Gilmore gang each week and my 2 hour train ride into work each day isn’t the same!
IT conversations has also let me down lately…not sure what is going on over their. The quality and frequency hasn’t been the same for some time.
