    Listening since episode 0. It's improved a lot. Good banter too, even if the podcast sometimes feels very long.

    Tried listening to TLLTS but the long pauses, drop-outs, background noise and more were all too much to put up with!

    I normally download the mp3 files and listen to them on my mobile phone when I am in a queue, travelling, or whatever. I watched tonight's show live on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/linuxoutlaws and there were no drop-outs. The sound quality isn't brilliant on ustream - it's much better on the mp3 downloads.

    Scherschel is a uni student in Bonn. I don't know what the other guy does. They seem to get a few donations every week. They are basically enthusiasts stuck in the government sponsored monopolistic playgrounds of Deutsche Telekom and British Telekom where broadband is of poor quality and expensive (as it is in IRL).

    While the broadband market is even worse in many parts of the US, if you have the financial resources of someone like Leo Laporte - who is drawing in about USD 3 million a year in ad revenue making netcasts, where he can do deals with cachefly, bitgravity, dslextreme, aol, etc and can buy/get sponsored un-contented high capacity broadband connections to service hundreds of thousands of video and audio downloads + live viewers every week - avoiding delivery quality problems for the most part.

    As for the content they often start off on a slow footing, after a while it gets interesting, and near the end it sometimes goes off the boil. The beauty of netcasts (podcasts in dictator Steve Jobs lingo) is that one can easily skip over the boring stuff.

    It's a good podcast but I wish that they would sometimes know what they were talking
    about.

    Love Linux Outlaws. Sure it's long, but it suits me for one weekly journey.

    For a short and sweet podcast that's out twice a week, take a look at

    ShotOfJaq.org

    10 minutes long with a theme for each episode, followed by a feedback episode maybe once a month.
    The J is Jono Bacon, Ubuntu's community manager and metal head, and the 'aq' was
    his co-host on the grandaddy of all this type of podcast - lugradio.
    This is fairly new, but worth listening to.

    The shows are short and aim at getting conversation about the subject going on the website.
