LineInterference - Radio for Geeks
MikeyJones writes "Building on his passion for technology and love of the talk radio medium, Lineman dared to try something that almost everyone told him couldn't be done: talk radio for the computer geek. While he hasn't landed a spot on traditional radio yet, Lineman and few other inspired contributors are daring to tackle topics that nobody previously thought could be covered in an audio format.
These shows feature a rich blend of technology, programming, and security-related topics. No punches are pulled in these shows, as they are aimed at listeners of all skill levels and will be enjoyed by anyone with a logical mind and a sense of humor."
Yes, talk radio for geeks. That's never been done before.
Have to give it a listen.
www.eFax.com are spammers
seriously...off the hook?
He needs to condition his sound a bit, just a high pass filter. There's a nasty bass hum in it. I had to switch off my sub.

Not many people read developers.slashdot, but for those who do, waste no time visiting Kizzle's excellent site HACKERMEDIA.NET, wherein you can find out about the basically massive collection of tech/hacker-oriented radio shows out there, coming out every week, with some very driven amateurs who are putting their souls into the medium. There's even an RSS feed so you won't miss a show.
Well, being a geek and all, why the hell is he using PHP-Nuke? It probably has the worst security history of any CMS ever made.
I highly suggest for everyone using a Nuke based site to switch to Typo3. The security history is solid, and it's just damn nice to work with. It has way more features too.
Maybe he could even do a spot on his show about it.

Ok, with that out of the way -- Yay! Geeky content! I'm always on a quest to find stuff to fill my ipod, with which I fill my 2hr commute every day. Typical unabridged audiobooks run like $35/per which sucks.
Also, check out itconversations.com which is more about interviews and business trends and somewhat less geeky, but where you can listen to Woz or Wil Wheaton talk for a couple of hours.

If he really wants to ensure he reaches his target audience, he should Podcast his broadcasts, since only geeks can figure out own to download Podcasts. ;>
The original Lineman.net was PHP-Nuke. He said he used it as a nostalgia sort of thing.
Did you even listen to the show? He explained that.
He could make typo3 look like PHP-Nuke. :)

Doesn't radio, by definition. have to be broadcast over radio waves? Perhaps if this were a normal talk show it would make sense to call it radio just for marketing purpose (ie people understand what a "radio program" is). But why would you call a geek show radio? Call it something else that makes it clear how it's really meant to be broadcast. Because seriously, you don't broadcast a show over the radio waves that appeals to such a limited audience. It just doesn't make economical sense...especially when your audience is the most capable audience of any at getting information through alternate mediums.
