The NYT’s ran an article on Leo and the TWiT Network today. Ã?â??Ã? You can check out the entire article here. Ã?â??Ã? In the meantime, here’s a clip:
Balancing on a giant rubber ball in a broadcast studio and control room carved out of a cottage in Petaluma, Calif., Leo Laporte is an unlikely media mogul.
Next year, the TWIT empire is expected to move into a larger building, down the street from its current headquarters. Mr. Laporte plans to start a morning show this spring to compete with drive-time radio broadcasters.
Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??ItÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s not as if I had a plan for all this,Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã? Mr. Laporte said. Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??It just kind of happened. It was almost as if we had this audience that was waiting for the medium to come along.Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?Â
Sure, the article was about LaPorte. But the picture shows the real story: who is the man behind the man? It’s Andy Ihnatko!
