Hey Fedor-ians! (Maybe? We’ll work on that.)
There are a couple of us looking at restarting the Fedora Podcast! Before we do, I wanted to get you opinions.
What did you like about the show?
What did you not like about the show?
What would you like to see on the show? (episode ideas, content types, etc)
We look forward to hearing from you!
I’ve never heard the old one but coculd be fun having one discussing your linux distro 
Maybe do video?
I believe this is the current website to the old seasons, but it seems like things have broken.

I would love to see the return of the podcast! Covering similar topics as to what we had before would be good, but it could be nice to have things be a little more conversational. Some of the older episodes felt like very rigid interviews. RHEL Presents is a good vibe of the little I’ve listened, so if it’s similar to that then I think we’re good.
I wonder if it would be beneficial to start with a limited series to gauge interest and go from there? So something like committing yourself to 5 episodes with the promise of continuing for longer based on what you guys see.
Schedule-wise I think whatever is flexible for you guys is probably best, but if there’s interest to have a regular schedule that’s fine too. Right now there is no expectation so it can be as frequent or infrequent as you guys want.
Also, you guys can coordinate with the Marketing Team and we can help where we can. We’ve been active on Mastodon with plans to get active on the other socials. We can help with promotion obviously, but also to potentially gather questions. “Ben Cotton will be our guest next week, what questions do you want to ask him?” That sort of thing. Or other ideas also!
So, the original host is ramping things up for F38 Release timeframe. I didn’t know that was the plan. I apologize if I stepped on any toes.
I might have heard one episode, and I welcome the return of the show.
I’d like a mix of news, interviews, how-tos and reviews of hardware, software and books. I’d love it if Matthew Miller would do a little bit for the show every time.
Wanted to follow up on this to see if there’s a way for the podcast to move forward! From what I understand, there is interest from the community to see the podcast come back. It would be cool to see it come back soon, but I’m not aware of what may currently be in development.
@itguyeric expressed interest in revitalizing the podcast and did start working on gathering all of the official Fedora Podcast stuff. Then it seemed like Eduard (@x3mboy) was already working on something and that kind of put things on pause.
Eduard, is there something in the works? Depending on where we’re at, I’m wondering if we could let Eric lead the podcast based on his experience with the RHEL Presents show. Of course, this is still a Fedora project that we can all participate in, but at least with him leading the podcast we can start it back up and get some consistent content, even if it’s a once a month show or something more flexible.
I think we all want to see the podcast running again. This way we can still provide input and help while having someone consistently stick with the podcast, gain momentum, and grow an audience. What do you think?
I’m ready! Let’s do it!
From what I remember from the old podcast, at a high level it was talking about news of the project and had some interviews with members of the project. What I remember not liking about the old podcast was that it seemed very flat, very monotone. What I would like to see is some news, most news does get covered by other news outlets, but maybe along with news about the project some interviews with people that made that news happen or interviews with people who are using Fedora for other things like gaming, graphic design, etc…
I’m requesting a new mic to mindshare since the previous one is broken. Some things that need to be done are:
That’s all we need. We have a pagure somewhere, need to check, where we can work to pus this forward. My plan was to go out with F38 with the new season but still no mic. I know I’m not indispensable for the podcast, but I would love to be at least until season 3, but if you can go forward without me, don’t hesitate, let me know what accesses you need and I can give them to you guys.
The Pagure project is here
My goal is not to replace you as a host, but to bring my experience with shows like the Sudo Show and RHEL Presents to bear to help get the Fedora Podcast on its feet.
I have some experience with WordPress. I’d be happy to take a look with you.
I added you as admin in the pagure. I know you don’t want to replace me, I’m moretha happy to have someone with experience in podcast aboard.
Also, one of the tickets was to get the podcast into YouTube, and I think you are the one that will make that possible
Yeah, getting the podcast onto YouTube (and maybe as a stretch goal something community-focused like PeerTube) would be a great idea. I snagged that ticket.
I’ll put together a list of access and tools on my mind and put them in the Resuming Podcast Pagure ticket. We can keep brainstorming here so the rest of the community can join in.
Yesterday I tuned-in to the live broadcast of the new Fedora Podcast on Youtube. Great work, @itguyeric and @joseph!
Quick question: Is it going to be available on the legacy podcast RSS channel? (I’m starting to use Gnome Podcast, so I have to ask)
Yeah! I got the audio podcast sent out last night! It should be available wherever your podcasts are found
I can confirm the availability. I just added it to my subscriptions in
AntennaPod.
