i got pointed to an interesting t.v. technology show called 'call for help' today. it's a very nicely produced daily show that airs in canada, australia and until recently the us on cable. what's interesting is that they have regular desktop linux spots on it featuring marcel gagne who's a happy long time kde user and desktop linux promoter.
over the last 2 years he's been on 23 times according my count of this list of appearances or roughly once a month on average. i caught the latest episode that marcel was on and it's really cool to see kde on the small screen in all its glory.
update: neat... episode 106 shows off linux media players including xmms, noatun, juk and amarok (marcel's fave) whilst they gushed about opera singing mba's and how awesome linux and kde is. not only did they demo the apps live (marcel is awesome at this kind of thing) but they showed the urls on screen so people could go straight to amarok.kde.org ... i wonder what sort of visitor bump, if any, they saw on march 15, 2005?

Leo's had a great show going for years, too bad Comcast doesn't run G4TechTV, only G4 :(
He's been a great supporter of Linux and the Mac even before the Call for Help show when he co-hosted The Screensavers. I'm glad you've found this neat show. :)
