Even though Leo Laporte is still apparently “on vacation,” he still finds time to bitch about Apple leaving him out of their celebration of 10 Years of Podcasts. It’s nice to see Apple finally realizing that a fat prick who turned his back on them years ago by referring to his podcasts as “netcasts” doesn’t deserve to be a part of that history.
. @reneritchie Hard to get excited about Apple’s #10YearsOfPodcasts when they don’t mention any of ours.

Update: Apparently Leo whined like a little bitch and it appears that the little baby got his way… But this doesn’t change the fact that Leo was indeed left out of the original list. Certainly a long way for a former “legend in the biz” to have fallen. Last time I checked, people who have had sustained success and are valued by their peers don’t have to beg for inclusion.
Steve from iTunes just called to apologize and said they’ll add TWiT to the #10YearsOfPodcasts. Yay! I feel like a mini Taylor Swift.
