Show overview

Linux Action News has been publishing since 2017, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 300 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 20 min and 29 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Technology show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Jupiter Broadcasting.
