Late Night Linux is a podcast that takes a look at what’s happening with Linux and the wider tech industry.
Every two weeks, Joe, Félim, Graham and Will discuss the latest news and releases, and the broader issues and trends in the world of free and open source software.
About the Show
This podcast publishes an episode every other Tuesday. There’s excellent coverage of the latest Linux news with beefy, passionate, and thoughtful opinions.
The show is rather heavy on advertisements. But there is a custom ad-free RSS feed available if you contribute $5 per month via Patreon. This isn’t a family-friendly show, as the hosts use profanity.
There’s a sister show, Late Night Linux Extra, which has recently been launched. Joe gets updates from distro maintainers and FOSS developers about their projects.

| Verdict: | Late Night Linux is one of the finest Linux podcasts. There's lots of insightful, blunt and earthy "straight talking" here. If you're fine with profanity (we are), you won't want to miss a single episode. The presenters are captivating, knowing, and energetic - which isn't easy. |
