LugRadio Decides To Call It Quits

[vmlinuz] writes "After four years, 100+ shows and over 2 million downloads, the guys behind LugRadio, the irreverent Open Source podcast from England have decided to call it a day, with the desire to 'go out on a high.' The last ever show will be recorded at LugRadio Live UK 2008 on the 19th and 20th July in Wolverhampton, England. There are also blog entries from the two long-standing members of LugRadio, Jono Bacon and Stuart 'Aq' Langridge." I hope the back catalog will remain available — LugRadio has since its start been one of the best online audio offerings out there.

    always find out about good things when they all call it quits? Unfortunately I found out about Windows well before Bill Gates called it quits, and I'd envy anyone who found out otherwise.

    Sorry to rain on the parade, but I found the show unlistenably crude at times. There's no way I would recommend this podcast to anyone except perhaps Linux users in the Navy with some spare time on their hands and a tendency to giggle at long-in-the-tooth inside jokes.

    I actually gave up searching for Linux-related podcasts because of this show.

    In fact I started using a Mac a year ago and I'm very happy with where I'm at right now.

    (Actually that last sentence was a complete lie, but it felt appropriate somehow).

      It's better than saying you run Vista willingly!

      I run Ubuntu skinned to look like a Mac on a PC. Go figure.

    But I'm proud to admit I was there at the very start, in fact I was there before the start. ;)
