In all honesty, Siracusa is, well, the only guy worth listening to in this particular podcast. Occasional smart comments by two other co-hosts are drowned in an overall sea of mediocre insight or factual errors.
I think we're all just spoiled by John's consistent insight and wit. Other tech podcasts are filled with people like Casey, who talk a lot but don't have anything to say. Marco is usually fine.
Nonsense. Marco may be frivolous and scatter-brained but the man has some serious brain power. He's a very effective duck tape programmer and does some hard algorithm work along with serious UI polishing. There aren't many millionaire independent programmers who succeed based on the quality of their programming without much business and marketing acumen, but Marco shows it can be done.
I never questioned intelligence levels of any of the hosts. It's just that John is infinitely more entertaining, informative and insightful; Marco and Casey are often out of their depths on many subjects.
I like to listen to Marco's point of view of the tech world, being a successful independent developer his (conservative) opinions on languages and platforms are always insightful.
