Show overview
The Laporte Report (Audio) has been publishing since 2006, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 20 episodes. That works out to roughly 3 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 5 min and 10 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 18.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2006, with 13 episodes published. Published by Leo Laporte.

July 1, Californians will join many other states and countries in requiring drivers to use handsfree devices when talking on their cell phones. I called Bill using the Jawbone today. I currently use the BlueAnt Supertooth Light in my car. It has its own speaker and mic and attaches to the visor. It works pretty well, although I can't vouch for what it sounds like to my callers. Another system that requires no installation but uses your car speakers is The Tooth Pik. Hosts: Leo Laporte and Bill Handel Bandwidth for The Laporte Report is provided by CacheFly

TLR: Leo on KFI with Wayne Resnick: TiVo Wins! - TiVo gets a second life at the ninth hour.
Leo Laporte on the Bill Handel Show, KFI AM 640, Los Angeles, 7:50am, April 14, 2006 TiVo gets a second life at the ninth hour. A jury has awarded TiVo $74 million in its lawsuit against the DISH Network (Echostar). That means TiVo effectively owns the patents to the key technologies for DVRs (digital video recorders) including the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward live programming. TiVo probably wouldn't have survived losing this lawsuit. Now all DVR manufacturers will have to license their technology from TiVo. Echostar plans to appeal.
