(Re)Creating a HPR page on wikipedia.

+

+Once someone contributes to Public Radio, the Wikipedia rules prevent us from editing a page. +You can of course create one prior to contributing a show, or ask for one to be created. +

+

+We do of course believe that Public Radio should have a Wikipedia entry. +We are one of the longest running podcasts having started as Today with a Techie on 2005-09-19. +We also are unique in our community driven approach to producing shows. +And of course the fact that Wikipedia itself references us as a source +[1], +[2], +[3], +[4], +[5] +

+

We have also Interviewed may influential people, had presences at many conferences. +We have given many talks at conferences, and have been interviewed on other podcasts. +We also have been featured in the press.
