Being a Brit, living in Germany, it is great when they have a European guest in the shows, it sort of balances out the US-centric view of many subjects.
I just wish they’d get a German guest in to counter Jeff Javis. Living in Germany, it winds me up every time he starts speaking as if he is an authority on Germany. He isn’t. What he says has little or no correlation to what is actually happening in Germany and among typical German people. Possibly because he only gets to meet technically literate and wealthy / influential people at most of his meetings in Germany. It certainly doesn’t correlate to “normal” people.
Anyway, back on topic, I love Iain’s style and his pithy humour and I’ve been an El Reg reader since it started in the 90s.
