"The Personal Computer Show" on WBAI I said I would pan some podcasts and this is one of them. I admit this podcast is one of my guilty pleasures. I can't recommend it to anyone but I listen to it religiously. It isn't the information it presents; I'm not sure there is much. It is more like driving past a car wreck and slowing down and rubber necking to see what is going on. David Perry is the one shining light in the show and he is not on every week. When he is on the host tends to interrupt him with the vainglorious assumption people would rather hear him than Perry. Personally, I wish WBAI would give Perry his own show. Another reason I just can't miss the show is the melodrama. Will WBAI remain on the air or not? The station is apparently in deep financial doo-doo and each week I check Dogg Catcher on my phone to see if the podcast is updated. Two curmudgeons, a musician/engineer and David Perry. Wow, that is high drama! To be fair, occasionally a real gem is presented. For instance, a 1980s interview with Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft ... and the host managed to be quiet long enough for Bill Gates to give some fascinating insights into the future of computing. Unfortunately, I'm hooked on "The Personal Computer Show," though I wish I could walk away. It's as full of empty calories as a bag of chocolates or a gallon of ice cream.
