Podcast

Enter your favorite podcast or internet radio show (should be computer related), any information about what the podcast is about (times, host, etc also needed) and finally why you like it.

The Linux Link Tech Show also just called the TechShow

Great guest from all over the world about all things computer related. Playful banter (as they call it) where they talk about recent projects or anything under the sun. (warning: not always safe for work or maybe home without head phones. No sex and No violence however). They really do have great interviews, the best I have heard of any podcast I have listened to so far.

The Linux Action Show

Linux enthusiasts talk top news stories, trends and any other subject regarding Linux and Open Source. The Linux Action Show! is a weekly Podcast that covers the world of Linux and Open Source, hosted by: Bryan and Chris. I have only listened to this show for a short time. They cover the news and introduce projects with opinions sprinkled in liberally.

Open Source Conversations

A repository of audio recordings from talks, events and such that you can download and listen to at your leisure. Example events are Zend/PHP Conference, Opening Move, OSCON, OSCON Europe and OSBC. Features other programs from sister channels IT Conversations and the The Podcast Academy. Also the source for the The Levelator program.

SCALE audio presentations 2007 Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE). This web page is the 5th conference held February 10-11, 2007, at The Westin Los Angeles Airport. There are some very good talks (all audio only) and in some cases the slides used are available on the web site. The 2008 SCALE site is hopefully going to contain videos of the talks as well.
