48: What's Next for the Podcast?

Fedora Project — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 15:30:00 -0500

Noah and Noel will be talking about the state of the Fedora Podcast since Eric's departure and what will be happening next!

This is the first podcast episode that Noah and I hosted without Eric being involved.

We had some tech issues:

Noah is only coming out of the left speaker, we will fix this for next show
Noel did not have sound for the first 11 minutes of the show. I have went ahead and cut that content from the broadcast.
Our stream started right away with no transition bumper, we will address this for the next show
We have just one topic today which is talking about the production of the show, not many timestamps are needed.
