Linus Torvalds on NPR tonight

amortis writes "Heard on the radio that none other than Linus himself will be featured tonight on NPR's show "Fresh Air," which supposedly airs at 7pm EST. You can listen online at the NPR web site, and might be able to find more info at the Fresh Air page (I couldn't)."

Todd Mundt too!

[passion]

He seems to be quite the celeb at the moment, as he just talked on Todd Mundt's show almost 2 weeks ago, I grabbed my own copy of the recording

I also found it interesting how the second half of the show talked about cussing in the workplace, so I did a quick grep on the 2.4.3 source code, and found these results:

• 112 instances of 'shit'
• 4 mentions of 'piss'
• 44 derivatives of 'fuck'
• 0 instances of 'cunt'
• 1 mention of 'tits'
• 2 references to 'dick'
• 7 occurences of 'ass'

Air time varies

I just heard it on WBEZ (public radio in Chicago). It started at 2:00pm Central time. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty light. Terry (sp?) Gross is one of the best interviewers I know of, but the technical nature of LINUX really got in the way of an in-depth discussion. He (Linus) did have some interesting personal comments on what it was like to ride the rise and fall of an IPO. Check the website of your local public radio station (you are a contributor aren't you? It is 'open source news' in a way, after all)
