Ok, Jeremy also shows up in podcasts, I wasn't saying that only Max is
guest on some podcasts but that other distros and projects have are
more involved with their community through podcasts.

I'm not one of those who just complaing and does nothing for Fedora.
If I had the skills, gadgets and time to do a Fedora podcast you would
be already hearing me... but there must be some Fedora fans that can
do this beside me.

I tried to contribute in this way:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=315171
but I'm being completely ignored so far :(

And if you lookup my profile on redhat bugzilla you will see a dozen
of bugs that I reported and even more bugs on which I contributed.

You send an email to Chris and Brian from Linux Action Show regarding
episode 67? What did you say in that email? Did you ask for a
interview?
