The Bugcast is an award-winning podcast that has been gracing the podwaves since 2008 with its unique mix of waffle and music from independent and Creative Commons artists. The husband and wife team of Dave (@thelovebug) and Caroline (@Moosical) present this weekly show from their home studio in the heart of South Yorkshire.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Listeners Choice episode last Friday. The music choices were a fantastic reminder of how good #CreativeCommons and #Independent music actually is.

You can listen to the Listeners Choice at thebugcast.org/show/850

This Friday, it'll either be @Moosical's or @thelovebug's choice of their favourites from the last year. Which one, we're not saying, but one of them has already compiled their selection! Oooooooh!

On May 9th, we will be recording episode 850, entitled "Listeners' Choice". We do this every year as part of our Best Of shows, which also includes Dave's Faves and Moo's Choons. Listeners' Choice invites all of our listeners to submit their favourite tracks that we've played between episode 803 and 849, and we'll play them again in a show completely driven by listener requests. Why not be a part of it! 🎶

Our quirky quartet of quick-witted quesadillas - 🤷 - are back once again with some of their favourite things from the worlds of FOSS and Creative Commons music.

Whilst @thelovebug and @mralc burrow into Fossorial/Pangolin (tunnels, proxies, authentications), @kevie and @mcnalu have their beaks wedged into Deku (SMS client for Android), plus our usual look at #distrowatch and some fantastic #ccmusic.

I don't listen often, but if I'm in the mood to listen to something, but don't feel like SA radio, I'll go check out what happened on @thebugcast last Friday: thebugcast.org/2024/11/16/828-

I normally don't do #podcasts, but this one is like a traditional variety #radio show, and I got time for that. :)

It's Friday night, it is 9.30ish...
That means we are heading into the studio to record this week's @thebugcast
Was easy to find tracks after a week off.
I'm sure we will mention #oggcamp2024 and why Christopher Chope is a dinosaur... Amongst other things and playing fabulous music 👍
