    hi,

    here is one listener.. i’m from finland..

    i discovered the show not long ago (i think i spotted it from linux link tech show), but already went through bunch of the old shows. and, i like it.

    i’m not much of a live listener, ofcourse the timezones mess things up, but also life scheduling in general doesn’t really let me sit down and listen at specific time… so mostly i just use BeyondPod app on my phone and listen to shows whenever i have spare time.

    (sadly don’t really know if that raises your listener statistics..)

    I listen and enjoy the podcast (although I am running a week behind at the moment). I am in the states. You guys may sometimes cover some of the same stories I catch in other podcasts, but invariably you discussion of them is more interesting and relevant to me! Keep it up please!
