The Gutsy Geeks has been on the airwaves for more than nine years now. In fact, it was the Nation's very first radio broadcast extolling the benefits of using Linux and Free and Open Source Software. On March 1, 2010 the Gutsy Geeks program was transformed from a one-hour epic broadcast to a shorter, online format to better serve a 24/7 global audience. Long-time listeners will appreciate that our podcasts are of equal quality to our long-running radio show, for which we profusely apologize. New listeners will quickly discover the "distinctive" personalities and technical expertise of hosts Michael Cady, Nick Coons, Mr. Modem, and Friends (The Gutsy Geeks) who helped create a unique chemistry that appealed to a vast radio audience for many years. New segments will be added frequently, so subscribe or stop back often to hear what the Gutsy Geeks will say next!
Recent Podcasts Mr. Modem - 06/10/2010
Mr. Modem returns to the scene of the crime with another crowd-disbursing book review. This time, the subject is a new book, “Delivering Happiness, a Path to Passion, Profits, and Purpose,” by Tony Hsieh (rhymes with Psieh), founder of LinkExchange. The book is part autobiography, part business tutorial. Tony's treatise is inspirational, while at the same time no matter how much success in life you've had, you will wind up feeling like a world-class loser -- unless you happen to have also sold a company for $265 million when you were 24 years old. In that case, contact the Gutsy Geeks immediately, and please bring your checkbook.
 Nick Coons - 06/08/2010
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx was released over a month ago. In this Podcast, Nick provides updates on some of the improvements in this Long-Term Service release.
Nick Coons - 05/15/2010
If you're a geek, you'll appreciate the hoops jumped through to make this project work. If you're not, you'll appreciate that open-source software allows us geeks to create complex solutions to make your life easier.
Mr. Modem - 04/15/2010
In this gurgling, acid-reflux inducing podcast, intrepid journalist Mr. Modem reports on allegations that consumer electronics giant Best Buy is allegedly misleading (or has allegedly misled) customers about Linux, based on training materials provided by (insert gasp here) Microsoft. Oh, the horror of it all!
Nick Coons - 04/07/2010
Nick likes analogies, so he formulates this one to answer the commonly-asked question, "Why Doesn't Linux Need Antivirus Software?" This podcast is recorded on the road while swerving through traffic, so please excuse the audio quality.
Mr. Modem - 03/19/2010
Mr. Modem, a card-carrying keyboard freak, reviews the legendary Das Keyboard. Crafted by German engineers and featuring gold-plated key switches, this incredibly responsive keyboard is legendary in the world of keyboards. Not that anybody really cares about the world of keyboards, of course, but it is legendary, just the same.
Mr. Modem - 03/17/2010
Our death-defying Mr. Modem risked a bodily injury (in the form of a severe paper cut) in order to review "A Practical Guide to Ubuntu," by Mark Sobell. This monster, 1200-page volume contains 27 information-packed chapters. Mr. Modem lost consciousness after reading three chapters, but still recommends the book as being a "must-have" for all Ubuntu users, particularly those with the ability to speed-read.
Mr. Modem - 03/01/2010
The exciting conclusion of Mr. Modem's groundbreaking series that examines the origins of ten popular product names.
Mr. Modem - 02/24/2010
Mr. Modem and the Gutsy Geeks' crack research team have concluded their exhaustive investigation of the origins of iconic product names, including iPod, Blackberry, Firefox, Android, Red Hat Linux, and others. Mr. M. files this first in a sweeping series of reports.
