A really meaty TWIT (151) … Patrick Norton gets 5 five stars.

I listen to the TWIT podcast each time its produced … I always like them .. but this one was particularly meaty … and I’m not just talking about Dvoraks suitcase sausages.

In my opinion Patrick Norton really made that show (151). His comments and discussions were right on  … Patrick tells it like it is … no sugar coating.

Isp’s dropping Usenet, FCC prohibiting Comcast BitTorrent blocking, Ebay paypal fraud … and Dvoraks meat smuggling.

Leo asked his twitter army to follow Patrick and it went from 800 followers to 13500 in about 5 minutes. Amazing!

Listen to it …

Read the Show notes …

Kudos to everyone … I hope Leo has Patrick on more often.
