  • These admins Rock!

    Charles, Nate and their co-hosts really rock the news and events in the systems world.

    With a nice leaning towards open source/‘nix but updates in general tech goings on are abound...

  • used to love it

    uncle mark just annoys me way too much to keep listening. brought the show from 4 or 5 stars to 2, and frankly just not worth listening. his constant interruptions to inject unfunny jokes, repetition lines, and very loud periodic yelling, have ruined a once enjoyable listen. unsubscribing and removing from recommend list
