A while ago I used to listen to the Linux outlaws which covered a lot of gtopics in Linux and FOSS. The show has discontinued and I’m looking for your recommendations....
I also like their shows because they’re always trying new things and it encourages me to as well. The hosts are really human and it’s not like a voice reading a script.
