Personally, I'd rather the Linux Foundation put those resources and focus toward supporting the FEDIverse, rather than the metaverse. But hey, you do you...
I really liked that podcast version. I can woke on things while listening and the extended parts makes it feel more personal and less of a quick run to the end. I think both formats are good for different people.
