Excellent coverage of a wide range of FLOSS topics
I've been listening to this show for a long time now, since Chris DiBona was the host. I'm glad to see Randal Schwartz has gotten the show back on a regular schedule after all this time. I enjoy the wide range of topics covered--everything from frameworks, to languages, to operating systems, to development tools, to open-source hardware, to filesystems, etc. There's a pretty good balance of technical info (mainly from Randal and the guests) and info anyone can understand (mainly from Leo). The only issue I have, sometimes, is the call quality. When you're dealing with different guests every week, making sure everyone is properly setup for a high-quality conversation on Skype is tough, especially when guests use their built-in laptop mics. That minor issue aside, if you're interested in learning about the ideas behind FLOSS or just want to learn about some cool projects, check out this podcast.

This is a total waste of time. Leo Laporte has several great podcasts. This is not one of them. Chris DiBona is a joke. There's very little actual FLOSS content. It's mainly just DiBona yapping away about star trek, his breakfast and other totally off topic things. If you want real talk...Read full review »
