Jono Bacon, Bryan Lunduke, Stuart Langridge and myself bring you Bad Voltage, in which there is a great deal of disagreement about Microsoft's motives and Canonical's motives and our motives, and some of us mock other podcasters because we hate the community, and also:

00:02:01 [Microsoft and Canonical release the "Windows Subsystem for Linux"](http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/...n-windows.html) at MS's Build developer conference to provide the Ubuntu command line on Windows. What's that all about, then? Bash in cmd.exe? This sounds like a good idea, right? What does it mean?
00:32:17 Jono reviews the [iRig Pro](http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigpro/) "all-in-one audio/MIDI interface for Apple products that fits in your pocket"
The OpenShot project have just released the latest version of their video editor in [AppImage](http://appimage.org/) format; a single downloadable file which runs on every Linux OS and doesn't need to be unpacked or installed. With tools like this and Gnome's xdg-app in the wings, whither the old Linux model of "distributions" and packaging every app half a dozen times? Can this discussion get beyond complaints about static linking or the difficulty of releasing Linux software?

From the Bad Voltage site: Every two weeks Bad Voltage delivers an amusing take on technology, Open Source, politics, music, and anything else we think is interesting, as well as interviews and reviews. Do note that Bad Voltage is in no way related to LinuxQuestions.org, and unlike LQ it will be decidedly NSFW. That said, head over to the Bad Voltage website, take a listen and let us know what you think.
