I believe he means that it should be available along with the media we upload to Archive.org. This means any media that is considered "part of the show" .... and that depends on the show itself. In the case of my episode "hpr2290 :: How to change the height of your Ironing board", it includes a picture which I reference in the audio. On the other hand TwatTech Episode: 10 - Network Sniffing, October 02, 2005 Host: Irongeek, only contains a link to his site. Which is fine as well, because he describes the process so thoroughly that it is not required.

If a piece of media is generally available at the time of recording then don't worry about it. Same goes for code/man pages of tools commonly available.

It's about striking a happy balance between having enough information in the shownotes and having supporting information to those who want it. Your own show "hpr2985 :: Firefox Update" is a great example of striking this balance. The shownotes contain enough information to satisfy the "include show notes" requirements. While the link to detailed articles if people are interested in learning more. That said were we to have a pdf of the blog https://www.zwilnik.com/?page_id=1072 would even be better.

"Hacker Public Radio is dedicated to sharing knowledge." So there is there absolutely is a moral weight on us to provide the information in the "show" to each and every listener regardless of when they hear it. -- Regards, Ken Fallon http://kenfallon.com http://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents.php?hostid=30
