It was really interesting listening to you interview with Simon Phipps, even if I’m not in the UK. I’m living in the EU and I’d really appreciate to hear more about such topics. With all that legislation affecting digital rights and freedom, I think it is important that geeks and computer users in general get political. This process has started but I’d like it to go deeper. A podcast is a great media to get informed about upcoming legislation without having to go through lots of wiki pages or blog posts.
So, assumed that I’m not the only one interested in those topics, it would be great if that political section could become a somehow regular section of the podcast and by that I don’t mean that there has to be a politics-news-section in every single episode. Inviting Simon every now and then would be great.

Hey, Ububtu_UK,
You’ve been asking why non-Ubuntu users are listening to your podcast, even when they’re not using Ubuntu. There are three simple reasons:
1. You cover the linux news, not just Ubuntu news, at least as well as a Google feed, and you’re funny and smart doing it. As far as I’m concerned, the voice of open source has a British accent.
2. Lots of us use the Bastard Children of Ubuntu; Crunchbang, Back-track, and Linux Mint. We still consider ourselves part of the family, although sometimes relegated to the Kiddy Table during family gatherings…
3. Many of the topics aren’t restricted to Ubuntu. Anyone think that what’s discussed on Command Line LUUUV wouldn’t work equally as well on OpenSUSE? Debian? RedHat? Every once in a while, I even open up the terminal on my graphics-sectric girlfriend’s MacBook Pro, just because I know it’s there and know what it can do.
Love the show, keep it up.

Another great show, loved the interview!
I’m an archlinux user on my main machine, but I recommend ubuntu to friends and run it on my mame arcade.
I listen for the humor, accents, and the linux stuff that applies to things besides Ubuntu. I also like to keep an eye on Ubuntu, just to see if I’d go back, and listening to the podcast is a lot more enjoyable than parsing text articles.
Shame @feedly uses Flash instead of for this Ogg podcast
