I have listened to almost all the episodes for this podcast. This has to be the best tech history podcast

I just finished the entire series and I bawled at the end of the final episode. This podcast has been near and dear to my heart as a technology enthusiast who loves coding, game development and cybersecurity. I’m going to miss it because Saron Yitbarek did such an amazing job as the host. My favorite season by far is season 6, but there’s something special throughout. Red Hat truly created something special here. Until next time, cheers to you Command Line Heroes!

This podcast reminds me of Mr. Ballen’s “strange, dark, and mysterious” stories — but tech edition. It’s a very well done exploration of past tech “horror” situations — and what the protagonists did to identify, understand, contain, and vanquish them. Great stuff!

Just as I was starting to get over the overly enthusiastic voice of the narrator and enjoy the podcast, they start with the woke liberal ideologies. Why put opinion based messages into otherwise solid educational content? This only divides people further and causes your numbers to go down.

I so want to listen to every podcast from this show. But the host’s vocal delivery is so exaggerated and affected that it’s unlistenable. This is too bad, because when the host interviews people in a normal conversation, she shows that she does have a more normal way of talking in real life. Unfortunately the scripted parts of the show are delivered in an over-the-top sing-song manner.

Love this podcast! Make more content like this!

While the treatment of the history of computing gets a fair amount of depth with plenty of voices chiming in on the important waypoints along that fabulous tapestry. the host’s overall narration and delivery ruins the entire experience. She’s too sprightly and too upbeat, making the content feel less like an exposition of the facets of technical subjects and more like advertising—but not just advertising to people in tech, but advertising to children. The host would make a great pre-school teacher! But as a podcast host? Not so much. Could only stomach two episodes before I unsubscribed.

Really though to listen to. Everything is rise and fall and rise and fall and feels totally read off script without understanding. Vocal fry is unbearable.

I wish podcasts like this one would create unity among all people and not just pander to a certain group for the sake of being woke. Instead, you are contributing to more division and hate.

The stories about the history of computing are great but the host is annoying.

I just found out about this podcast. I really enjoining, good thing it has 7 seasons so far. Congratulations!!!

I want to like this podcast but the vocal fru and baby voice of the narrator is absolutely unbearable. Deleting.

The podcast covers a wide and interesting range of topics. Unfortunately, it feels like the narrator is speaking to a child with her intonation and cadence. The heavy use of sound effects is also annoying - it feels like they don’t trust they can keep my attention with the content itself.

I absolutely love this podcast. Especially the fact that they are bringing to light inventors who were never recognized for their work.

Wonderfully orienting!

This valuable and interesting content is presented in such an approachable, consumable, applicable, and fun way. I love Saron’s style of narration — blending stories and interviews — bringing drama and intrigue to these tech tales and concepts! I find the whole show really engaging and impossible to tune out or turn off. I am so grateful for this podcast as a go-to supplement to my tech education! Thanks and keep up the incredible work.

Love the show, never miss an episode. I am an RN building data science skills. I consider this show mandatory to help understand the tech world. Keep up the good work!

The content, is great. But the host’s delivery style, with frequent pauses, is grating and—after a while—makes it difficult, to keep listening. As another reviewer said, it sounds like, she is merely reading, a script. Also, the vocal fray, is quite extreme. Nevertheless, I am glad that, there is a poster podcast covering, these important stories.

Saron is the absolute best tech-podcaster out there!!!

The host's delivery is irritating and far too affected. I can't shake the feeling while listening that I'm being talked down to. It's as if the podcast is targeted at grade schoolers. I love the subject matter but I'd rather listen to Siri read the transcripts.

The content is always a good brief overview to the subjects. The interviews are great. But the narration style is really difficult to listen to. Every sentence is read to the same dramatic tune. Five stars if she could state things a bit more matter of factly.

Just started listening but I absolutely love the way Saron makes everything so thematic, taking the boredom out of coding history and really makes you feel her passion in the subject as she brings everything to life with dramatic background music, authors and others in the field, been looking for something like this! Keep it up!

Saron talks to a range of people, all tremendously experienced and smart about the topic and very engaging and informative. Upbeat, inspirational, informative: history and current activities, technical and personal. Saron is a truly engaging and expressive host.

Command Line Heroes is informative and such powerful podcast. I've learned a lot from it also fall in love with Open source.

This is literally one of the best if not the best tech podcast out there! Love it!

Thanks podcasting show from redhat.

This is a good effort. The narration is a little too gushy to be taken seriously. Mostly accurate if you agree the audience isn't limited to engineers.

Such a good show! Really enjoying season 3. Thank you!

Every episode is very well put together! Very informative packed with useful information! Wish this was on a weekly release cycle!

Very well produced. Enticing and spicy. Some great facts I didn’t know. Keep up the great work!

I love the content of this podcast. However, the narrator reads in such a cadence and sing-song tone of voice that it sounds like she's reading a story book to a little child. It's so aggravating I've had to stop listening. It's a shame.

Great podcast about an important subject.

Amazing narrative. Great host and great production

Content = Very Interesting Interviews = Amazing Narrator = Terrible Is the narrator a real person?!? The inflection sounds like text to voice. I only listened to S03 E02 but The overly inflected nasal voice is grating. It’s like someone gave her 3 lines of coke and told her repeatedly to slow down. @Redhat, please re-record this. It’s amateur and just feeds into the perception that Red Hat isn’t a “real” OS.

#epic

I listened to several episodes (from the beginning) and I really enjoy it. There is facts presented in the pod casts have listened to so far.

This show is well done, but it’s basically a giant advertisement for open source software. Nothing wrong with that so long as you know what you’re getting into — this isn’t a journalistic or historical exploration of tech or the dawn of the computer age, it’s propaganda from the open-source software company Red Hat. Disappointingly one-sided. As someone who is interested in this topic the bias on display here was a huge letdown.

Loved season 1. So happy this is still moving onwards and upwards. Even my spouse who is a farmer enjoys listening with me. By the way, I love my Basecs stickers that I proudly have on my devices. Any Command Line Heroes stickers in the works? And please make sure you ship your swag to Japan. I will gladly be your 1st, 2nd and 3rd customer.

Love this podcast! Dives into and explains the history of different aspects of computing in a way that’s accessible to the masses. Great host.

Very interesting material! The narrator is awesome! Please keep them coming! Edit: please upload into a season. Right now they are being uploaded to “Unknown Season” which has actually caused me to not see new episodes for two months now.

Great show. Reminded me of how it all began.

This is a well produced and interesting show. I’m not a programmer but being surrounded by software I appreciate this insight into its development.

Being a software developer this podcast is perfect for me. And I love the way you have constructed and executed all the episodes.

Love this podcast! Really cool concept

Great 5 starts - 2 for making the software development process change being formed by white men. I prefer race and gender to not be something that sets anyone apart.

I've got to give this 5-stars because the host, Saron Yitbarek, can make the process of watching paint dry sound super interesting. Seriously, she should do voice work or audio book reading. Ok, I guess the podcast is actually interesting as well. Subscribed.

For devs by devs! Long live the command line.

I’ve learned a lot, and the first episode pieces events together in a nice memorable chunk that can be mentally digested. Can’t wait to see more episodes.

Very informative and easy to listen to

I found the first 2-part episode really interesting—especially the history of the OS “wars.” Fascinating stuff and this podcast is really well done. Looking forward to the next episodes!
