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.

We do not need to go down the rabbit hole of trying to archive
everything on the Internet. 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.
