Thanks for the support. I've already had 500 downloads today, and it's growing. Hopefully this means there's some interest, which will keep it happening. I wanted a good reason to keep up to date with LKML ;)
I would love to hear from people as I play with the format: what tree summaries would you like at the top of the podcast (current Linus/mm/next...) and what announcements would you like included?
I'm aware that non-native English speakers might have difficulties - this isn't designed to replace LWN or other news sources, merely to digest the LKML into a commute/travel/iPhone-at-bus-stop quick 3-5 minute catchup. And if there's interest for other non-English speakers, we can hopefully get someone to translate in the course of time.
P.S. The podcast URL will remain consistent, but I've already asked a couple of larger projects for help with mirroring/hosting of the mp3s.

I, of one, really like this, however it would be nice if you didn't do things like using gregkh instead of using his full name, it sounds very odd and feels like a flow breaker.

Good point. Ok. I have also been enumerating numbers "two-point-six-point-three-zero" rather than "two-six-thirty", but might change that around.
