Full Circle Podcast is also a proud member of the Tech Podcasts Network.

This is an extra, irregular, short-form podcast, which is intended to be a side-branch of the main Full Circle Podcast. Somewhere to put all the general technology, non-Ubuntu news and opinions, hobby-horses and kruft that doesn’t fit anywhere else. Be prepared for a healthy dose of British sarcasm.

News: It can only be Ubuntu 11.04, Alpha-1.
