Not everyone is comfortable speaking to an audience directly. Beeza addresses this problem.

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.
What is Software Freedom Day? And why is it important to celebrate this event?

Ken interviews Moss Bliss. The Bard, and the Podcaster.

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

Upon 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.
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.
