The State of Linux Podcasts
Jan 14th
I’m wondering what the state of Linux podcasts are. I never thought about it until Linux Outlaws did their year-end wrap up of 2008. They said it themselves, we’ve lost some good shows and they didn’t expect for their show to be in the same category as “one of the longest running Linux podcasts.” Neither did I, but things change – Linux has evolved and so have podcasts. Where do we stand in 2009?

gPodder, My Hero!
Sep 9th
Through Twitter, I was introduced to an amazing project called “gPodder“. It’s a podcast receiver/catcher written in Python utilizing PyGTK (for its GUI). It supports Linux and FreeBSD. The amazing thing about it is, I was looking for a podcast catcher just a few days earlier and I was totally lost. My keywords were just all over the place and I ended up with results that were totally left field. I think the keyword would be “catcher” or “receiver”. I’ve used Amarok and Banshee, but I could never figure out how to sync with my Blackberry.
Well a friend of mine tweeted someone on Twitter about Banshee so I started following the other person. And luckily for me about a day later that guy tweeted about gPodder. I jumped on it and I’ve been happy ever since. Thank you Web 2.0 – you really work!
Whatcha’ Say!?
