I have always disliked public speaking, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
Although I have recorded HPR episodes in the past I have always been highly dissatisfied with the results - my delivery and the sound of my voice.
Text-to-Speech software has improved dramatically in recent years and this provides a solution to my natural reticence to recording shows.
In this episode I demonstrate the use of a simple online TTS application in the hope that it will encourage others to contribute a show who might otherwise not do so.
Here is a link to the TextMagic website where you can run their TTS software. It is cost-free to use, but I'm not sure if it is FLOSS.

Today we interview Moss Bliss
We get a rundown of what the show is, how it's related to Ubuntu, and the history of the podcast.
Moss goes on to explain his introduction to Podcasting via Distro Hoppers Digest, and the mintCast. We of course discuss those podcasts and their history.
We wouldn't pass up this opportunity to discuss his first up to his favorite, well at least current, distro. Covering his hardware journey at the same time.
Moss himself has an interesting story, which we start by asking why he goes by the handle "Bard Moss", where his roots are and where his heart is at the moment. Of course we delve into the exciting world of Filk Music, that's not a typo Dave. Actually it is but all is explained.
And finally Ken sits back as Moss treats us to one of his own works "The Angels Never Came", released under a "CC-BY-SA 4.0"

Hi, Al, the co-host of Tuxjam here, I share some personal insights and then proceed to discuss the following episodes.
Here is the command I utilize to set up Samba as a service, eliminating the need for automatic console login:
sudo apt install samba samba-common-binRun the following command to restart the service after you have edited the Samba config file.
sudo systemctl restart smbdUpon listening to this episode, I acquired a ThinkCentre M700 Tiny from eBay which came barebone, equipped it with an i5-6400T (also from eBay), and 16GB of RAM from CEX in the UK. I share my experience of running it with KDE Neon with Plasma 6.1, and after we tested Ultramarine.
Next, I discuss my media server, which is an HP laptop powered by an 8th generation Intel® Core™ i7-8650U processor, equipped with 16GB of RAM, and running Jellyfin.
Finally I discuss my plans to acquire a ThinkCentre M720q, which can support up to two drives, including a 2.5" HDD/SSD and an M.2 SSD. I also share my intentions to install Proxmox on this system.

Kevie, co-host of TuxJam, continues his series on uses for the Raspberry Pi with a talk about his experience of making a retro gaming console using the Raspberry Pi.
For the initial build I used:
In retrospect I would now recommend purchasing a Raspberry Pi 5 and use an NVMe SSD Drive for storage, also with a suitable case to hold these. I would also recommend a joypad with thumb sticks, such as the 8BitDo Pro 2.
