Ok between the different @podcasts I now have...
1. #techgrumps - https://rss.com/podcasts/techgrumps/

https://redcircle.com/shows/95190f06-ba12-47ae-9267-4aaa656f4e93
3. Another one soon to come...
I think its time to either #selfhost, sign up with a host which support #castopod or just pay @castopod for my podcasting.
Be great if there was a table of all the providers, what they provide and how much etc? Currently going through - https://podnews.net/directory/category/hosting
Maybe a task for a LLM?
eastmadSo I blow the horn of #techgrumps for this weekend, where we may have @cubicgarden, @rnalexander, @wendyg and myself, "Andy".
To avoid all doubt I blow the horn of upcoming #techgrumps for **next week** Sunday 8th March 9pm, where we will discuss sugar, spice and all things nice.
#techgrumps 3.37 is now available for your listening pleasure.
#AI discussions sandboxed for your security!
