Anyway, in response to some of the other comments here, no, I'm not a professsional broadcaster, I'm a guy who likes to tinker with audio, and has an interest in Linux, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone by doing a podcast of said subject. This is a hobby. Don't expect mainstream broadcast production values here, or if that's what you're expecting, then save yourself some time and please go listen to mainstream broadcasts (podcasting by the way tends to be a bit anti-mainstream media, so expecting broadcast production values out of a podcast is a little like expecting a fish to start breathing out of water… good audio quality counts, but at the end of the day, it's your content that matters, and I've yet to meet another podcast that provides the content I do relating to Linux).

There's a reason that people listen to the ABC, Triple J etc…., the broadcasts are well done. & I agree with the previous comment about Dr Karl – imagine how well we'd all have done at science had someone interesting been teaching the class.

I tend to agree with you, though, Dan. The self-made podcasts seem, for the moment at least, to be rubbish. Hopefully, like blogs, podcast creators will start to get some high-quality content, and then become as mainstream as we consider blogs today.
