Becoming a Linux Podcaster - mintCast


In October last year I joined the podcast team of the mintCast podcast. This podcast is now over 10 years old and has released over 300 episodes in that time.

The work in putting a podcast out even on a bi-weekly schedule for that length of time is imminence and not surprisingly the podcast has had numerous hosts during its 10 years.

Towards the end of 2018 Rob and Isaac the then hosts decided it was time to hang up the microphone in favour
of other members of the community taking on the role, and as previously asked if there were any listeners of the show who might like to come on board.  

Surprisingly several willing volunteers who were long time listeners came forward including myself, and in the end shake out we have ended up with a team of 6 regulars.

Myself (I can also be found on HPR) Bo (From Electric City Nerds), Tony W, Leo, Joe (Linux Lug Cast and The Linux Link tech Show ), and Moss.

We are having a blast meeting up over mumble every Saturday to plan the show and recording every other Sunday, and recently did a very special show with some additional special interviews of previous hosts to celebrate mintCasts' 300 shows (and counting).

The latest show can be downloaded here:

We discuss starting the process of installing Linux Mint for the first timer to Linux and the next show will be about the software available in Linux and what a new user might use to replace equivalents they use in Windows.

If you haven't listened to the show check us out, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy making it.
