<p>Well you've come to the right place.
|
||
Our goal here at HPR is to make it as easy as possible for you to get your show released.
|
||
We take care of the hard bits so you don't need to.
|

</p>
|
||
|

<p>
|
||
Recording your first show can be a daunting prospect but <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->correspondents/index.html">hundreds of people</a>
|
||
like yourself have done it, and so can you.
|
||
Don't worry that we won't like the topic, just have a look at our <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->eps/index.html">Archive</a>
|
||
to see how diverse the contributions have been.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Don't worry if your audio isn't perfect,
|
||
that your voice sounds funny,
|
||
that English isn't your native language,
|
||
that you suffer from a <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'/eps/hpr1102/index.html') %-->">speech impediment</a>,
|
||
that your show has loads of ummms and awws in it, etc.
|
||
We have plenty of hosts that fall into all these categories, but continue to produce great shows.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At the end of the day the show is about the content and less about perfection.
|
||
That's not to say we won't help you with ways to improve the audio if you wish,
|
||
or narrate your script for you if you can't or won't record it yourself.

HPR is founded on the principle of Hackers sharing knowledge, so we are not a media aggregation site.

For this reason we are only releasing material created exclusively for HPR.

Once released, the creative commons license will allows sharing it to other locations.

We do not vet, edit, moderate or in any way censor any of the audio you submit, <strong>we expect you to do that</strong>.
|

Aside from checking snippets for audio quality/spam checking,
|

we have a policy that we don't listen to the shows before they are aired.

This is a long standing tradition arising from the fact that HPR is a community of peers

who believe that any host has as much right to submit shows as any other.

<p>
|

Please note that this only relates to the audio you upload.
|

We <strong>do</strong> transform the audio into different formats.

The rest of the meta-data (branding/summaries/tags/show notes/etc.), are managed by the HPR Community,

and <strong>probably will</strong> be edited.

There is no guarantee that we will accept your show.

Even after it is processes, <strong>any material that is reported as harming HPR may be unlisted until such a time as the situation can be resolved</strong>.

You can expect your show to be rejected for (incomplete list):

|

<p>
|
||
Given that we are an open forum for free speech,
|
||
we signal all our shows as "explicit" with the assumption that the listeners will apply the required discretion when playing the shows in public.
|
||
That said the majority of our content is technical in nature and therefore is often considered appropriate for any audience.
|
||
If you feel that your show will be considered <strong>inoffensive in every region of the world</strong>
|
||
then you can signal your show as <em>Clean</em> when you upload the show.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
When dealing with content that is "explicit" or contains material that would best be suited for a mature audience,
|
||
it has become traditional to include a <strong>short warning</strong> at the very beginning of the show before the intro,
|
||
to allow listeners <strong>sufficient time</strong> to switch off the episode should they so desire.

When you includes output from the command line in the show notes,
|
||
posting screen-shots of console or terminal output
|
||
makes it impossible for screen readers to access the text.
|
||
Always try to include the raw output ( eg: embedded in <pre> tags)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Include descriptive language in any link texts.
|
||
Avoid structures like: <em>"For accessibility information
|
||
<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#accessibility') %-->">click here</a>"</em>.
|
||
Rather use: <em>"For more information click our

|

</p>
|
||
<p>When adding Images, add the descriptive text under the image (not in the alt tag).

That way everyone can benefit from the description.

<p>
|

We have people listening from all over the world, who may not have the same cultural background as yourself,
|
||
therefore you should be as clear as possible when giving details.
|
||
For example always give temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, measurements in Metric and Imperial,
|
||
dates in <strong>YYYY-MM-DD</strong> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">iso8601</a> format,

Never assume that your audience knows what age a sixth grader is, or how big a 20 Cent Euro coin is.
|
||
Keep in mind that keyboard layouts are also different so make sure to specify the key shape or the position
|
||
inrelation to a common known standard.
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<blockquote>The at sign normally situated above the 2 key on a US keyboard, and has a unicode number of U+0040.

Check out our 91 in depth series, or 6,938 unique tags for ideas.

You might already have an idea,

Over the years
|
||
|
||
The HPR Schedule is entirely community driven and we recommend that <strong>you</strong> pick the date or show number
|
||
as then you know when your show will be released.
|
||
However the slots will only be allocated once the shows have been successfully processed.
|
||
Any missing information can result in a show missing the requested slot.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The reserve pool is intended only to be used in the cases where there is still a gap in the schedule one week prior to release.
|
||
This was known as the emergency queue, but now can also be used when the hosts don't care when the shows are scheduled.
|
||
They will be used on a first come first go basis, when there is no conflict with the scheduling Rules.
|
||
These shows contain a message alerting listeners to the fact that we had free slots that were not filled.

You can post your show by going to the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->calendar.php">Calendar</a> page.
|
||
Once you have selected a date you will be redirected to the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->request.php">request page</a>,
|
||
where you will be asked to select your show and email address.
|
||
We will send a link to where you can upload your show to this address and therefore it must be a valid working address
|
||
that you can access quickly. We intend to use <a href="https://www.gnupg.org/">GPG</a> to speed up the validation of hosts,
|
||
so you may wish to use an email address that has an associated public key available on public key servers.
|

<p>
|
||
The audio of your show will not be moderated, however <em>the information provided in the upload form
|

<strong>may be moderated</strong></em>.

All publicly facing material is managed by the HPR Community as a whole, and not just the host providing the show.

<p><strong>Note:</strong> This email address will be published on the HPR website and will be given out in the feeds,

so please use a <strong>public email</strong> address for this purpose.
|

Where we publish it we pad it with dot nospam at-sign nospam dot. <br>
|
||
i.e. <em>hpr@example.com</em> becomes <em>hpr.nospam@nospam.example.com</em>.
|

If you do not want to have your email exposed, please contact the admin@hpr team to arrange a alias.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|

Once you press <em>next</em>, an email will be sent to your email address pointing to where you can upload the show.

You need to <em>open</em> the link within <strong>15 minutes</strong> or the temporary lock will be released.

Once you open the link, you can fill in the information at your leisure.

The upload form works on the assumption you will be posting one show at a time, from the same IP address.

On this page you will find information on how to record a podcast. Our golden rule is <strong>Any audio is better than no audio.</strong>
|

so keep that in mind. Don't forget to <strong>introduce yourself</strong> in your show.

<h2 id="portable_media_player">Recording with a portable media player

<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#portable_media_player') %-->">.</a></h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Many of today's <a href="https://wiki.xiph.org/PortablePlayers">portable media players</a> support recording audio out of the box.
|
||
Search for "Voice Recorder", to see if there is an application for your smartphone.
|
||
Whichever option you have close to hand, try and set the recording to the best quality format
|
||
(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV">WAV</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC">FLAC</a>),
|
||
and set everything else to the highest setting.
|
||
It's always the goal to get the best quality audio but here at Hacker Public Radio we value content over quality
|
||
and so long as it's audible we'll take it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Then just record your show, <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#requesting_slot') %-->">request a slot</a>,
|
||
and we'll do the rest.

import the file you recorded earlier and edit it as you wish.

If everyone is using skype then it won't cost you anything otherwise you will need to pay for SkypeOut service.

Walk through the audio wizard and then pop into the <strong>Hacker Public Radio</strong> room.

|

<p>
|

You may include backing music but it's best if you don't. Most long time podcast listeners speed up their shows,
|
||
as this allows them to cram more shows into a day. Having bedding music makes it more difficult to understand,
|
||
and prevents tools like <em>truncate silence</em> from working correctly.<br/>
|
||
Others will convert shows to mono to listen in one ear leaving the other free to carry out their other chores.
|
||
Still more slow the shows down so that they can improve their English.
|
||
Others are hard of hearing and backing music makes it difficult to understand the text.

<li id="show_notes"><strong>show notes:</strong> <em>Mandatory</em><br>
|
||
It is important to provide good show notes because:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>They provide the listeners with more information on the topic.</strong><br>
|
||
You have taken the time to record a show on a topic, so many people will want to find out more on the subject,
|
||
therefore you should include links to give more information. It is not enough to just give it in the show itself
|
||
as people may be listening while away from the Internet, and they may have forgotten or misheard your links.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><strong>They ensure your show gets posted on time.</strong><br>
|
||
If you do not supply show notes then your show notes will need to be edited manually by an HPR volunteer and
|
||
this will most likely result in delays. During that time other shows will be processed and may get posted
|
||
before your show.
|
||
It is always better if you send us show notes yourself as you know best what information you are trying to convey.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>They encourage people to download your show.</strong><br>
|
||
We produce a lot of shows and many people download based on the text in the show notes.
|
||
If the show notes are not descriptive then it is less likely that
|
||
it will get as many downloads as other shows with good show notes.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>They allow your show to be indexed by search engines.</strong><br>
|
||
Search engines cannot determine the content of your show from the audio alone.
|
||
The only way for your show to be indexed is for you to describe in the associated text what you say in the audio.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>They make your show accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing.</strong><br>
|
||
Your audio is completely inaccessible to those who have hearing problems,
|
||
so the only way for your show to be of help to them is if you distill the essence of the show into the show notes.
|
||
If you are using a script to prepare your show then include that.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Adding the shownotes</strong>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Add text and use the WYSIWYG editor buttons to add additional formatting</li>
|
||
<li>Optionally - You can paste in <strong>Rendered</strong> HTML</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Do not paste un-rendored markup (HTML, Markdown,
|
||
RestructuredText)</strong> unless your intention is to have un-rendored
|
||
markup as shownotes.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li id="series"><strong>Series:</strong> <em>Optional</em><br>
|
||
Select the <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->series/index.html">series</a> if any that your show is a part of.</li>
|
||
<li id="tags"><strong>Tags:</strong> <em>Optional</em><br>
|
||
Add a list of comma separated tags. Pick the most important words from the shownotes.
|
||
These are used to <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->tags.html">find shows via the tags page</a>.</li>
|
||
<li id="upload_method"><strong>Upload Method:</strong> <em>Optional</em><br>
|
||
You have the choice of the following options:<br>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li id="browser"><strong>Upload now via this browser</strong><br>
|
||
You can upload single or multiple files using this method.
|
||
Chrome will display the percentage uploaded but to see this in Firefox you will need to install a
|
||
<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uploadprogress/">plugin</a>, or just wait.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li id="url"><strong>Provide a url for us to get it from</strong><br>
|
||
Using this option may cause delays as a HPR volunteer will need to troubleshoot any issues that may occur,
|
||
and this can result in your show not been posted on time.
|
||
This must be publicly accessable using a curl or wget command.
|
||
Please avoid services that require login or downloading via a browser.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li id="upload_later"><strong>Other</strong><br>
|
||
The postal information will be sent to you after submission.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If you want to submit an additional file with your show, then put them in a zip, or tgz file.
|
||
This should expand to a directory with a index.html file that refers to the other files.
|
||
This will be hosted in the eps directory under a new directory with the episode number.
|
||
<pre>
|
||
<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->eps/hpr9999/full_shownotes.html
|
||
<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->eps/hpr9999/other-file.pdf
|
||
<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->eps/hpr9999/yet-other-file.c
|
||
...
|
||
</pre>
|
||
Ensure that all links are full urls, as relative urls will not work in RSS feeds.
|
||
Adding additional files will delay processing as they need to be verified manually.</li>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Press submit and your show will be sent to the HPR Volunteers to be processed.
|
||
Keep an eye on the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->calendar.php">calendar</a> for when it is posted.
|
||
Your show information is used to process the media files, on the website, in the RSS feeds, and on social media sites.

<h2 data-number="0.2" id="what-is-a-show"><span class="header-section-number">0.2</span> What is a show?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>A show is your <em>audio</em> presentation (which we do not moderate),
|
||
with an <em>intro</em>, <em>outro</em>, a <em>title</em> and a <em>summary</em>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The <em>audio</em> is the recording you have made and sent in to HPR.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The <em>intro</em> (introduction) is a piece of audio introducing the show. The components are:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>a synopsis taken from the details submitted with the show (added automatically)</li>
|
||
<li>acknowledgement of our hosting provider (added automatically)</li>
|
||
<li>HPR introduction music (added automatically)</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li><p>The <em>outro</em> is added automatically. It contains the HPR outro music.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Each show needs a <em>title</em> to describe what it is about.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Similarly, a <em>summary</em> helps to add more information describing the show so a potential listener
|
||
can decide whether to listen to it or not.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Each show is expected to have certain mandatory attributes listed
|
||
<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#what-are-the-mandatory-elements-of-an-hpr-show') %-->">below</a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>HPR shows are usually expected to be informative or educational, and as such some sort of accompanying written material
|
||
is highly desirable. This might consist of brief notes, links to relevant web sites, or possibly longer notes
|
||
and examples. Photographs, diagrams and example files are also welcome if the host feels
|
||
it helps to get the message across.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Shows are released under a <a href="">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported</a> license.
|
||
See <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#stuff_you_need_to_know') %-->"><em>Stuff you need to know</em></a>
|
||
for much more detail about this and related issues.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>As a contributor you can choose when your show will be released.
|
||
We only release one show a day, during week days,
|
||
but if a slot is free you can claim it. Go to the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->calendar.php"><em>calendar</em></a>
|
||
page to do this. You need to have your show ready to upload before you reserve a slot though.</p></li>

What defines a show as being "<em>Produced for Hacker Public Radio</em>"?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If you create material and post it first on HPR then it meets the requirements of "<em>being produced for HPR</em>".
|
||
That means once you upload it to the HPR server you can publish it anywhere else you like.</li>

|
||
<li><p>A quick summary of the main components is:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>A show title</li>
|
||
<li>A summary of what the show is about</li>
|

<li>The <em>explicit</em>/<em>clean</em> flag</li>

<h2 data-number="0.6" id="what-are-tags"><span class="header-section-number">0.6</span> What are tags?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>We are trying to maintain a collection of tags to allow people to find shows on the same (or similar) topic.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Tags are simple words or short phrases describing aspects of a show such as what topics are covered in it.
|
||
To get hints about what tags have already been used you can view all the current tags in alphabetical order on this page:
|
||
<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl) %-->tags.html">Tag summary</a></p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Some examples are: <b>android</b>, <b>creative commons</b> and <b>gaming</b>.</p></li>
|

|
||
Is it OK if I don't include notes with my show?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Please don't do that</strong>. It is important to provide good show notes for reasons described on the
|
||
<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#requesting_slot') %-->"><em>Picking a slot for your show</em></a> page:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>They provide the listeners with more information on the topic your show is covering</li>
|
||
<li>They ensure your show gets posted on time (the volunteers don't have to make notes for you)</li>
|
||
<li>They encourage people to download your show</li>
|
||
<li>They allow your show to be indexed by search engines</li>

|
||
What is and is not edited in a show after submission?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>We don't listen to the audio before posting a show to the website, so we don't change the content.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Unless you have done so and told us you have, we add an introduction to the audio announcing what it is.
|
||
Similarly we add an <em>outro</em>. This is not <u>editing</u> since we don't change the content.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>We may make changes to the show title, summary or tags. Usually these are minor changes such as spelling corrections.
|
||
The intention is not any sort of censorship, merely to make these items more understandable or easier to index.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Depending on the form the show notes take we may modify these.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If what is submitted is plain text we convert it to Markdown in order to generate HTML.</li>
|
||
<li>If the notes are one of the permitted markup formats (mostly Markdown flavours) we may adjust this to ensure
|
||
that valid HTML is generated.</li>
|
||
<li>If the notes are HTML we run them through an HTML checker and correct any mistakes it highlights.</li>
|
||
<li>We may correct spelling, grammar and punctuation if this clarifies anything which might otherwise be unclear.</li>
|
||
<li>If despite the request for show notes of some kind, none are provided, we may add notes which help to clarify
|
||
the content of the show. This may be done after the show is released (when we have had a chance to listen to it).</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li><p>We are working on the production of reports about any changes made, which will be sent to the host after we have
|
||
processed the show.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>We may make changes to a show's metadata if the host requests it (see the item on
|
||
<a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'contribute.html#if-i-notice-an-error-in-my-shows-details-how-can-it-be-fixed') %-->">
|
||
fixing errors after upload</a>).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>If a show contains links to resources which disappear after a period of time, we may at some future time change
|
||
the notes to refer to any <em>Wayback Machine</em> copy that can be found.</p></li>
|

</ul>
|
||
<h2 data-number="0.10" id="what-are-some-common-errors-in-show-notes"><span class="header-section-number">0.10</span>
|
||
What are some common errors in show notes?</h2>
|
||
<p>It depends on the note format to some extent:</p>
|
||
<h3 data-number="0.10.1" id="html-notes"><span class="header-section-number">0.10.1</span> HTML notes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>It's very easy to hand-write bad HTML. That's why we use an HTML checker on it, and fix the errors it reports.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>A common fault is to write <code><code><pre></code> to define a pre-formatted block of text using a fixed-width font.
|
||
However it's illegal because the <code><pre></code> tag can't be enclosed in other tags like
|
||
<code><code></code>. Use <code><pre><code></code> instead.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 data-number="0.10.2" id="markdown-notes"><span class="header-section-number">0.10.2</span> Markdown notes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>This is quite a forgiving format. Some people embed HTML in the Markdown, and the HTML used suffers from some
|
||
of the issues discussed in this document. These are <em>much</em> harder to spot. The HTML checker can't
|
||
really help unless it's run on the output from Pandoc.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 data-number="0.10.3" id="general-errors"><span class="header-section-number">0.10.3</span> General errors</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Spelling is often an issue in notes. As the notes are processed they are edited in the Vim editor with the
|
||
spell check option turned on. In most cases spelling problems flagged by Vim are corrected.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Grammar and punctuation can also be issues. We do not have very effective grammar checking tools in the note
|
||
preparation workflow. Modifications may be made to split up extra-long (often <em>comma-spliced</em>) sentences,
|
||
rationalise the use of capital letters and similar.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 data-number="0.11" id="if-i-notice-an-error-in-my-shows-details-how-can-it-be-fixed"><span class="header-section-number">0.11</span>
|
||
If I notice an error in my show's details how can it be fixed?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>The HPR administrators can make changes to show titles, summaries, notes and so forth. Ideally send an
|
||
email to <code>admin</code> at <code><!--% make_sfw(is_sfw, "hobby", "hacker") %-->publicradio.org</code> explaining what the problem is and we'll fix it for you.
|
||
We'll also ensure that the changes are propagated to the relevant page on archive.org.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Don't be tempted to send in your corrections as a comment. Comments are not propagated to archive.org, so people
|
||
referring to that copy will not see the changes.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 data-number="0.12" id="does-hobbypublicradio.com-have-anything-to-do-with-hpr"><span class="header-section-number">0.12</span>
|
||
Does <code>hobbypublicradio.com</code> have anything to do with HPR?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Some environments prevent access to sites which use the word <code>'hacker'</code> or <code>'hackers'</code>
|
||
in their names (or content in extreme cases). The site names <code>hobbypublicradio.{com,net,org}</code> have been created,
|
||
which link to the main HPR site, in order to get around this restriction.</p></li>

|
||
How can I talk to other HPR hosts and listeners?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>You have a number of choices:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The mailing list <a href="mailto:hpr@hackerpublicradio.org" class="email">hpr@hackerpublicradio.org</a> is where various
|
||
policy matters are discussed and announcements made. You need to be a member of the list to post to it.
|
||
Visit the <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'/maillist') %-->" ><em>listinfo page</em></a> to sign up.</li>
|
||
<li>You can join the <strong>#oggcastplanet</strong> channel on IRC.
|
||
Visit the <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=oggcastplanet">freenode.net</a> network to sign up.</li>
|
||
<li>A number of HPR messages may be found on Twitter and
|
||
<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@hpr">Mastodon</a>.</li>
|
||
<li>There is a <a href="https://t.me/+6fEhQrf5IEc4ZGU8">chat group on Telegram</a></li>
|
||
<li>An HPR tradition exists where we record a 26-hour show at the turn of the year celebrating the
|
||
arrival of the New Year around the world. We use Mumble to record the show and anyone can connect
|
||
to the Mumble server and speak to other HPR listeners and hosts. The recording is used to make multiple
|
||
shows which are released when they are ready.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 data-number="0.15" id="faq_anonymous_post"><span class="header-section-number">0.15</span> I'd like to post a show but I would
|
||
rather not have my email address published on the site.?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The mail is just a way for us to get back to you if there was an issue posting the show.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you trust the janitors to know your real email we can just use an alias for you on the web site and have it
|
||
forward the email to you automatically. That runs the risk that were the redirect list compromised then your
|
||
real email would get exposed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you prefer, we can use the janitor email for your shows with your own host id. Then if any emails come in we can manually
|
||
forward them at some point. The risk is that you are trusting the janitors to protect your email but again it could be compromised.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In both cases we would do our best to protect your email but we can't guarantee anything.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The other option is to use an a throwaway email, like <a href="https://www.guerrillamail.com/">https://www.guerrillamail.com/</a>
|
||
for your show. This will be up for enough time to get the key necessary for to post the show.
|
||
However keep in mind that we will be very suspicious of any submission done this way and will be checking it in detail,
|
||
so expect delays in processing.
