Shortest Boycott EVA

After my rant this morning it appears that the whole "?podcastgate" thing is now over. I can now resubscribe to the podcast and know that overnight my podcatcher will download the file safe and sound for my listening pleasure. I'd like to thank Aq for making the change, and Jono for his email. I guess we can draw a line under this now.

Time for me to boycott LUGRadio

LUGRadio is now into its fourth series. A Linux-based podcast with a massive listenership and following, it's grown from a chat between four members of Wolverhampton LUG to probably the most listened-to Linux-based podcast in the world. I didn't listen to much of the first series because I found the constant swearing, shouting and laddishness hard to stomach. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude, I swear far too much and have quite a bit in geek-common with the four guys who make LUGRadio, and I like the guys. I just found the first series hard to listen to. Since then they've improved the audio quality, had more discussion and tempered some of the language, soI have subscribed. I also chat in the #lugradio channel on Freenode regularly and have met all four of the guys in person. So this blog post isn't from some random bloke who has downloaded one episode and then fired off a rant.
