LugRadio

LugRadio rocks. It’s a collaboration between Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Stephen Parkes and Matthew Revell, all members of the Wolverhampton Linux User Group. They’ve just released their second episode after over 1,000 people downloaded the first one. It’s witty, laid back, saracastic and quintessentially English—in fact just listening to some genuine British banter is enough to make me a little homesick. Thoroughly recommended.

  1. Great material indeed. I'm listening to episode 1 right now. Catching half of the words (In France, English teatchers would never talk like those four fellows), but I'm really having fun ! Can't wait the next episodes !

  2. We're glad you like it :)

    Personally, I am dead chuffed with "witty, laid back, saracastic and quintessentially English"; in some senses that's exactly what we were aiming for (although I think the way it actually works is just that we're abusive and everyone agrees, so it's funny, heh), and it's always lovely to hear positive comment.

    And, you know, to get pimped on popular sites that lots of people read and all. :)

  3. Just wait for the Slashdot effect. I can smell the chared motherboards already.

  4. Downloaded and listened to the first 2 episodes this afternoon. I laughed, I cried (not really) and thoroughly enjoyed the shows. Looking forward to the next the episode. Keep up the good work guys, Sean.

  5. Thanks for the comments but why do the other guys get a link from one of the most read blogs on the net and I don't ;-) Just to set the record straight my blog is http://www.westmids.biz/blog ;-)

  6. My apologies Mr Parkes - I had a dig around on Google for your name but managed to miss it. I've added the link now.

  7. The Slashdot effect doesn't worry us too much. Famous last words, I admit, but we've got the main site in a igh bandwidth place, and the mirror network has multiple equally high bandwidth places. Bring it on, Slashdot!

    I also ought to note the forums for LUGRadio.

  9. The first 2 episodes had me chuckling all day at work (ssssh - don't tell), especially as I know the guy neuro who gets mentioned a couple of times in Ep2. Can't wait for the next ep - thanks for pointing it out Simon
