The Dick Turpin Roadshow

Matt is is left ‘holding the baby’ this episode as Pete decides there’s something far better on the TV than entertaining the great unwashed masses of the FOSS community. Given Matt’s chronic monophobia as reported in the Lower Piddle Gazette last Tuesday, Les Pounder (AKA lesp) and Jon Spriggs (AKA jontheniceguy) step in for a threesome with Matt.

We hear how Pete was let down by  Jon’s personal URL shortening service disapearing up its own jaxy which in turn broke just about every link on the shows website. As you would expect from a typical FOSS member it’s all someone else’s fault and anyway “I didn’t think he would use it here there and everywhere.“ 

Room x1101 makes a comeback with Flash being the target of Matt’s venom but flash finds an unlikely ally in jontheniceguy! Les finally reveals the only reason he came on the show was to pimp Ucubed and bleats on and on about it.

Yet again the team manage to hoodwink some poor unsuspecting victim guest co-host on to the show. Shane Marks is a game developer and ‘Person of interest’ to the Irish police. If you like trying to decipher Pete’s accent and phrases you’re gonna love this bearded leprechaun.

The guys discuss Android coming back into the Linux fold and Pete tells us how a listener solved his texting gripes with a Google app ‘MightyText’.

Room x1101 makes a long overdue comeback with a suggestion from Shane but Matt and Pete deny all responsibility for the the subject matter and force him to introduce it.

Matt tells us what he watches on the TV of a morning while sat in his PJ’s eating rice crispies and the team are overwhelmed at the new listeners they are getting even if they don’t know how tdtrs likes emails to the show to start and it’s not “Hi Guys”.

Yes it’s the episode you’ve all been waiting for the one where Evan Prodromou kicks our spuds. And if you was hoping to read what is in this episode before listening, tough you’ll have to download it and find out what happened.

On behalf of Matt and I we’d like to say “Thanks Evan and is it up yet?”

This episode starts with a bit of a surprise even though most of you have started to learn that “Nothing surprises us with this show.” we hear the teams thoughts on the recent news about Kubuntu and how they think it’s no big deal. Pete is shocked at the rising popularity with Twitter while Matt seems to think it’s good that every man and his dog is playing on there, plus we hear how mad impressionable fools with more money than sense are buying the shows merchandising crap.

Pete moans about Red Hat and the eye watering cost to become certified while marveling at the affordable prices on offer from Canonical, the team tell Mark Shuttleworth to contact the UK board of education to gain recognised qualifications and hope that they’ll curry favour and riches with their idea.

Pete makes an apology regarding Evan Prodromou co-hosting the show but assures us that the date has been fixed. Matt lets slip that “The podcast that cannot be named.” has far better feedback music than tdtrs, and the team go through the emails where Pete treats the listeners thoughts with his usual contempt.
