I haven't posted here for quite a while. Since joining mintCast in 2018, I have recorded 88 episodes of that podcast, over 100 of Full Circle Weekly News, and am preparing for my 43rd episode of Distrohoppers' Digest. I finally got my first citation in Wikipedia, as Full Circle Magazine has a page and I got mentioned for being the host of FCWN.

I've been almost a week behind in my weekly news podcast, Full Circle Weekly News, but that was caused by the fact that I'm not the one who uploads it to the feeds and the guy who does was on vacation. I should be almost caught up tomorrow, just in time for another week's worth of news.

I am still doing my weekly news podcast, 10 minutes or less of news with zero advertising, Full Circle Weekly News https://fullcirclemagazine.org
Next month's episode will be our #030th. We will likely be trying something new -- evaluating the same (sort of) distro from the eyes of a noobie-like desktop user AND from the eyes of a skilled tech. Our testbed baby will be Gecko Linux -- I will be doing STATIC Budgie, and Dale will be doing ROLLING with a different desktop.
