The sixth sockload of freedom from Freedom Socks. We decide last weeks episode never happened, turn into GNU/Freedom nutters, go over the news, unleash even more hate than usual. We also discuss free software around the world, and how to make people care about free software, before finishing off by reading some feedback.
If you’re young and in the northwest of England, you should go to DFEY! If you’re in Canada, you should go to Ontario Linux Fest.

I was listening to your podcast on the train today using my PDA. There was some good content, but I found it hard work due to some audio quality issues. The audio player was showing 0kb/s and the audio seemed a little garbled. Sounds better with VLC on my PC. Perhaps there is something odd about your encoding settings. The other issue is a lot of microphone wind noise. Perhaps you could put a Freedom Sock over the mic
These are minor things, but they could put people off listening.
