About HPR.
The HPR Community.
Hacker Public Radio is dedicated to sharing knowledge in a welcoming community that offers positive feedback and encourages respectful debate.
What differentiates HPR from other podcasts is that the shows are crowd sourced from the community - fellow listeners like you. There is no restriction on how long the show can be, nor on the topic you can cover as long as they are not spam and "are of interest to ". If you want to see what topics have been covered so far just have a look at our Archive. We also allow for a series of shows so that hosts can go into more detail on a topic.
You can download/listen to the shows here
or you can subscribe to the show in your favorite podcatching client
to automatically get our new shows as soon as they are available.
You can copy and redistribute the shows for free provided you adhere to the

Do No Harm.
We trust you not to do anything that will harm HPR. We don't tolerate Harassment, Trolling, etc. If there is anything on the site which you feel can harm HPR, first see if a response episode is sufficient to address the grievance. If not then please bring it to the attention of the janitors. Any material that is reported as harming HPR may be unlisted until such a time as the situation can be resolved.
Governance.
HPR policy is entirely community driven. Policy decisions are proposed and discussed on the Mailing list, which is open to anyone to join. Mailing list discussions are brought to the attention of the listening community on the first Monday of the month in the HPR Community News show.
