Show overview
Linux After Dark has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 123 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 25 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Technology show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 12 episodes already out so far this year. Published by The Late Night Linux Family.
From the publisher
Sysadmin Chris, cloud consultant Gary, and developer/admin May join Joe to talk about their recent Linux-related experiences, and discuss some of the more philosophical aspects of being a Linux user.
