Nothing worthy there. The search/transcript feature is
interesting though. No hits for "fidonet", but 3 results for
"fido net". That tech has a long way to go before it is useful
for finding relevant text in a podcast.
I used to listen to the No Agenda podcast more regularly in the
past. But I stopped when it seemed you never knew what they
would end up talking about. 1hr+ to 2hrs is a bit too long for
a stream of conciousness chit chat. <g>
There is far more relevant "Fidonet remembered.." content in a
couple of recent books that I've mentioned in a few other
echos.
Listening to a couple of old guys misremembering what Fidonet
is and is not can be a bit depressing actually. :/
