Hey guys

You were talking about doing some live broadcasting of your show, I host the main PTAWUG server at my home, we have a icecast server running on it that is replicated all over the WUG (including JAWUG). we would love to relay your live show over our network, you guys could even sit in on one of the IRC channels to get feedback from guys on topics you are talking about.

Keep up the great show…

Excellent show, well, more like ZAComedy Hour this time round, and aren’t we all glad the whole Vodacom vs Cosatu thing came to naught!

And just a post script: I am itching for a live show!

We really need to get the Jawug/Ptawug guys onto the show soon!

Fabulous as usual. I think extra points have to go to Duncan for asserting of the ICASA news, “this will hit the rand”. Spot on!

You mentioned that you want to do live broadcasting, with audience feedback – the best implementation of that I’ve seen, um.. heard, is on the Linux Outlaws podcast. Not sure how they do it (I always listen to the recorded podcast), but they have an IRC channel for the audience to respond in during the live session.
