UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION
Leo Laporte is a serial pioneer. Already a well-loved fixture on radio and cable TV, where he made technology both accessible and exciting, Leo was one of the first to recognize and run with podcasting’s potential. His production, business, and sponsorship models led podcasting’s evolution from niche hobby to global media force. In this episode of Uneven Distribution, Denise (a former host on Leo’s network) and Leo discuss the relationship between passion and profession, lessons learned from 20+ years of working and living online, and what to expect as tech continues to shape the future of journalism, information, media, entertainment, art, science, government, leisure, and society.
“I’ve always thought of my mission statement as being a translator, as someone who understands technology, explaining what it does and how it can be used to people who don’t yet.” — Leo Laporte
“Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.” — Stewart Brand
