Producer Note
Once we reach Episode 600, I will be backfilling out fireside website with the older episodes (before 283), depending on how your podcast feed service works, you may get a bunch of new notifications of episodes. Sadly there's nothing I can do about that, but I wanted everyone to be aware that.
Also once we hit 600, we will be announcing some new Patreon Perks and new ways you can engage and get involved with the show. More to come in the upcoming weeks as we finalize those plans amongst the team.

Created by three guys who love BSD, we cover the latest news and have an extensive series of tutorials, as well as interviews with various people from all areas of the BSD community. It also serves as a platform for support and questions. We love and advocate FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD and TrueOS. Our show aims to be helpful and informative for new users that want to learn about them, but still be entertaining for the people who are already pros.
The show airs on Wednesdays at 2:00PM (US Eastern time) and the edited version is usually up the following day.
