Great for keeping up wth BSDs and Unix

They don't just cover the BSDs, but the wider Unix world as well. Great topics, technical analysis, and interviews. One of the best Unix/BSD podcasts currently out there.

Best beginner-accessible BSD resource anywhere!

This is the best source ofBSD info available to beginners but also doesn't hesitate to dive into the interesting details holding it all together. I have found this podcast to be an essential resource for getting and staying current with tools, techniques, and community to make BSD work for me. Thanks for putting this on!

Additionally, I think this podcast is probably the best marketing arm for the community. Keep it available!
