I enjoy listening to Amber Mac, as Amber MacArthur has stylized herself.  I enjoy listening to Sarah Lane less, much less.  The two have combined to create a new Podcast called The Social Hour.  When Leo was traipsing around the southern tip of South America; Amber & Sarah combined on Net@Nite.  I listened for ten or fifteen minutes and turned it off.

This is all a matter of personal taste for me.  I am sure Ms. Lane know a lot about the subjects covered in the podcast, as we know Amber does. But could I listen to her as faithfully on a podcast similar to Amber’s commandN?  I think not.

It could partially be that she’s just not Leo.  The repartee twixt Leo and Amber has always, back to their helpful antics on Call for Help been a pleasure to watch.  Though I enjoyed Screen Savers, where Sarah and Leo once appeared together, Call for Help was more my speed.  It dealt with real life interaction with computers rather than cutting edge and hacking to the maximum effect.

Because I have been a fan of the TWiT format, back to the days when they broadcast from a restaurant in Corte Madera, I will not abandon The Social Hour based on one podcast.  It also covers a subject of immediate interest.
