great! is monday morning (my time) about every two(?) weeks or so the time scale of the shows? what about interviews? do they count as shows and so "bump" the radioshows - (ie, there is an interview, so there is no panel?)

I thought that podcasts were like jeremy's audio blog, but I guess that anything that is a podcast is called a podcast.

A couple clarifications. The LQ Podcast only refers to the Podcast itself. The confusion might have been caused as a result of the show notes being incorrect for a small amount of time (that being said, we do "podcast" the show itself). The Interview series is separate and will not impact the timing of LQ Radio episodes.

ahhh... it's all podcasted but then you have the:
Podcast
Radio Show
Interview Series
perhaps a name change for Podcast (or edit the first post to say "the latest LinuxQuestions.org podcast" (the little p for all the podcasted stuff- and Podcast with a big P for jeremy's solo show)
thoughts?

As a Gentoo user, I kinda felt like we got slapped around in this show. That being said, like one of the mods said, we all find our niche, and mine is Gentoo.

Also, in the future, maybe a little less doom and gloom would be nice. Perhaps a success story of a migration, or getting new hardware to work? Just a thought, it seems like most of the current topics are "this isn't ready yet, sco's coming for us, distro v. distro" and other topics that are divisive within the linux community. While I support and encourage thought and debate, anyone who's not within the linux community who hears this would think we're all a bunch of bickering geeks. :)

This time the show was really pretty good. I thought the falling-into-a-box thing was hilarious. As far as news items go, I think they're taking up too much time, especially since sometimes the panelists don't even know what the news items are really about. Also, Linux news is pretty much the same stuff covered over and over, as far as I've seen.

I think it would be interesting to hear more topics brought up by the panelists. What is their rant of the week? Cool open-source project of the week? And I'm excited to hear from new guests like Asa.

I do agree with the doom and gloom comment - if you go to the planet sites (planetkde/planet.gnome) you see a lot of positive news on those fronts, which is really refreshing. In fact, it's blog propaganda, really. As a linux user, I'm sick of hearing "Linux isn't ready for the desktop," "SCO is trying to kill linux," blah blah blah. I already use Linux seriously on the desktop, and I am a professional (run a small design business). I want to know about other people like me and their success stories. Heck, give me good ol' Mac-style propaganda anyday. This isn't 1997, when desktop Linux was a bunch of trenchcoats in mom's basement.

Speaking of heck, take this as you will, but I'm not keen on hearing words like B***S*** coming out of my office speakers! Ouch, man! This is why I don't listen to LUG radio while I'm at work. You can do as you will, but I am looking for Linux radio that is desktop-ready and a little bit smoother on the edges :D

Anyway, this all sounds like a bunch of complaining. Sorry. It was a good show. Thanks for all the hard work.

oh yeah- language. This wasn't too serious, but as it is sorta general practice on LQ, the panelists need to cool it down- even G** D*** is offensive. I love the effort you guys are putting into this- just the minor complaints to go!

I know jeremy said he doesn't edit it after recording, but maybe someone else (I might be willing to do this if I can find some good audio-editing software for linux) can do some post-production on it and silence/bleep and profanity that panelists 'inadvertantly' use.

In general, the language will be clean - no major swearing, but the occasion minor one will surely appear and hopefully won't cause a problem (ie. think of the words you may hear on network TV, not what you may hear on HBO).

hi there,
good show jeremy.
i am not sure if you speak every day like that but i want to let you know that even for non native speakers your english is pretty clear. i know that this can be really boring. i appreciate your effort on that.Thank you.
it is also clear the sound quality: it increased a lot in comparison with the previous shows. keep it going.
regards
