Chris Marquardt won an award for the best podcast for this show. Maybe even twice. He was an early adopter and is at ease with the format. Somehow I liked him less and less as I listened. I don't know why. I like to contrast him to Martin Bailey. It seems like everything comes very easily to him, and that he can wing everything eventually this show. I have dropped him also. I don't find the self-promotion subtle enough and I feel I am no longer there.

BUT I would recommend trying him especially if you're a beginner.AND

He has a segment on the Tech Guy show which he rebroadcasts here, which is where I think he excels; short and concise explanations of concepts to beginners.
