I wouldn’t say most but it is a reality of most podcasts these days that they’ll shout out donors. I kind of like the goofy sound effects personally and the rest of the podcast is chill and perfect for background listening. Of course everyone has their own preferences. I find LUP interesting enough for my level of Linux (enthusiastic amateur).
Comment on Self-Hosted podcast

If you want a good Linux how, check out the Late Night Linux family of shows. They have programming stuff, Linux stuff, comedy, Linux news, and more. They’re pretty legit and have a strict real content policy.

I think you’re thinking of one of their Linux podcasts.

I’ll admit LUP is worse but self hosted has a lot of the crypto stuff too.

The only crypto self hosted has really relates to their show donations. They really don’t talk much about crypto at all. I think mostly because unlike the other shows, Alex is the dominant personality on self hosted and Chris despite being goofy is relegated more to side kick.
