Self-Hosted podcast
-
Most of their ‘content’ is the hosts reading our donations each episode and playing obnoxious sound effects. It used to be much, much better, but this crypto stuff ruined it all. I really wouldn’t even bother.
If you want a good Linux how, check out the Late Night Linux family of shows. They have programming stuff, Linux stuff, comedy, Linux news, and more. They’re pretty legit and have a strict real content policy.
I wouldn’t say most but it is a reality of most podcasts these days that they’ll shout out donors. I kind of like the goofy sound effects personally and the rest of the podcast is chill and perfect for background listening. Of course everyone has their own preferences. I find LUP interesting enough for my level of Linux (enthusiastic amateur).

You missed the part where Chris struggled to continue to get ad revenue in ~2023, so went hard on cryptocurrency.
Mike bought out Coder Radio this year and now it's independent from JB.

Thanks - didn't know that.
I'll give it another try (hopefully without Chris it's not two guys talking about the latest apple fad anymore?).
That show stood out as the only one without crypto bullshit (I assume, because the hosts disagreed on the matter)

That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me...
It used to be good but IMHO nowadays half the show is two people talking about whatever they've done last week (fixed the wifi here, new hard drives there, .. who cares?) with seemingly zero actual research/preparation for the show, and the other half is paid (in crypto) messages from the audience.
It's the only Jupiter Broadcasting show I'm still subscribed to, but lately I've been either skipping episodes entirely or listening with the chapter list and skipping to whatever I found non boring (like, 3 minutes I would actually listed to per show?). It's not long until I drop the show entirely.
As most (all?) Jupiter Broadcasting shows, It's IMHO more entertainment that information. Nothing bad with that if that's what one likes.

They've critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel
