<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.

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>
|

<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

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):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Inaudible audio</li>
|
|
<li>Containing Copyright Content, even <em>Fair Use</em></li>

|
|
<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.

Any host can select any free slot a up to year in advance,

<p>

In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to reserve a slot while not having the audio available.
|
|
This must be approved by the <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'/maillist') %-->">HPR Mailing List</a> in advance.
|
|
Be sure to allow as much time as possible,
|
|
and include a reason why you feel it is necessary to reserve the slot.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is intended only for exceptional circumstances,
|
|
such as a scheduled interview where we would like the audio to be released as soon after the event as possible,
|
|
or to cover an important topical situation that has occurred.
|
|
Due to the extended time now needed to post shows to external sites,
|
|
the extra work this entails and the disruptive effect of reservations,
|
|
we will no longer be allowing them except in very rare cases of the type mentioned above.

The following are standing reservations:

The mail is just a way for us to get back to you if there was an issue posting the show.
|

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.

</p>

<p>
|
|
Where we publish it we pad it with dot nospam at-sign nospam dot.

For example <em>hpr@example.com</em> becomes <em>hpr.nospam@nospam.example.com</em>.

</p>
|

<p>
|
|
If you do not want to have your email exposed, please contact the admin@hpr team to arrange a alias.
|
|
If you trust the janitors to know your real email,
|
|
then we can just use an alias for you on the web site.
|
|
Any inbound mail to that alias will be automatically forwarded to your personal email.
|
|
That runs the risk that were the redirect list compromised then your real email would get exposed.
|
|
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.

When you includes output from the command line in the show notes,

posting screen-shots of console or terminal output

Always try to include the raw output ( eg: embedded in <pre> tags)

<p>Include descriptive language in any link texts.
|

Avoid structures like: <em>"For accessibility information

We have people listening from all over the world, who may not have the same cultural background as yourself,

For example always give temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, measurements in Metric and Imperial,

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.

<blockquote>The at sign normally situated above the 2 key on a US keyboard, and has a unicode number of U+0040.

<em>FLAC is best, we accept the rest.</em>
|

</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Our recommended setting for recording is 44100 Hz, 24 bit depth, saved as Lossless FLAC Level 8 (best).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It makes our life a lot easier if you record with the best quality you can.
|
|
Record using the best equipment you have close to hand, try and set the recording to the best quality lossless format like
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC">FLAC</a>, or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV">WAV</a>,
|
|
and set everything else to the highest setting.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your recording setup can't do that, then pick a lossless format, with the highest sample rate you can.

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.

The show <a href="<!--% absolute_url(baseurl,'eps/hpr2627/index.html') %-->">hpr2627 :: Home Phone Setup!!</a> is a perfect example of this.

If it's taking too long to edit the episode then you are less likely to submit the show.
|
|
Send this show in, and employ your lessons learned in the next one.
|

</p>
|
|
<p>
|

A rule of thumb is to never spend more time editing than recording.

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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

The HPR Schedule is entirely community driven, so <strong>you decide</strong> when your show will be released.
|
|
Once you have your audio ready you can post your show by going to the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->calendar.php">Calendar</a>
|
|
page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
New hosts, Interviews, and other time critical shows should use the <a href="<!--% hub_baseurl %-->calendar.php">first free slot</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Otherwise, when the queue is filling up then <a href="https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/queue.md">leave some slots free slots</a>

This is intended for <strong>non urgent show that are timeless</strong>, as there may be a year or more before the show gets aired.

Reserve shows should <strong>not be dependant</strong> on others in the reserve pool, as they may be posted out of order.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|
|
The reserve pool shows will be used when there is a gap in the schedule.
|
|
Empty slots might be filled by reserve shows up to ten days prior to release.
|

Shows from the reserve pool may have hosts that have submitted shows in the last two weeks.
|
|
They will normally be used on a first come first go basis, but there is no guarentee of the posting order.
|

</p>
|

<p>

These shows will contain a message alerting listeners to the fact that a reserve show is in use.

The <a href="https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/src/branch/main/workflow/hpr-prepare-reserve.bash">severity of the message</a>

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>
