Title: Linux Action News off the air
Post by: fox on April 14, 2020, 11:59:24 AM
Their last broadcast (here (https://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/140977/goodbye-from-linux-action-news/)) was April 9. Apparently Joe Ressington, the co-host with Chris Fisher, was fired for cursing during a meeting with management. Chris decided he would therefore leave as well, and posted a 3-minute goodbye. I didn't follow this podcast regularly, but I listened to it often once the Linux Action Show went off the air. It was quite informative, but long and I was only interested in some of the items covered. However, I'm sorry to see it close.

For cursing? Jesus Christ in a hand basket. Sounds stupid to me. I'm sure there was a lot more to it than that but they just needed a rationale but what a stupid one they picked. It's not a church.

It's also weird to me that they went to a podcast format when they used to show Linux distros in action, etc. I wonder if Jupiter Broadcasting was out to kill the show. But I suppose if it wasn't bringing in the revenue they needed (or just wanted) than an audio-only format is going to be cheaper to run.
