Created by three guys who love BSD, we cover the latest news and have an extensive series of tutorials, as well as interviews with various people from all areas of the BSD community. It also serves as a platform for support and questions. We love and advocate FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD and TrueOS. Our show aims to be helpful and informative for new users that want to learn about them, but still be entertaining for the people who are already pros.
The show airs on Wednesdays at 2:00PM (US Eastern time) and the edited version is usually up the following day.

Headlines
People have no doubt heard of this by now, but are not aware of the BSD side of
things since its mostly been Linux getting all the news. It'd be nice if we
could give a summary of the issue and then address how it does/doesn't affect
the BSDs.

Customer Reviews
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!
BSD Study Group
This is like a live BSD Study Group where you can ask questions, get the latest news, hear what other are having difficulty with and offer feedback.
