So, let me clarify the question to "*Should* we be a podcast or podcast hosting
platform ".
I feel we should be a podcast, and should maintain the same policy towards accepting and airing
shows from other podcasts that we currently have. As long as they meet the requirements of posting
on HPR--i.e. shows of 'any topic that "are of interest to Hackers"', they post on the
accepted schedule (currently not more than once every two weeks, if I am not mistaken), their show
can be posted under the same CC license that HPR uses, and they are generally not a disruptive
member of the community. The gray area is when a podcast is wholly hosted through HPR versus
playing an episode from one which is hosted elsewhere. I think we ask the host to give a brief
summary of any external podcast being aired on HPR at the start of the show, before including the
external material. For podcasts which air regularly or are wholly hosted on HPR, the summary isn't
requested. So far, I don't feel like anyone "hosting their podcast" on HPR has abused the
spirit of posting to HPR.
For me the connotation of a podcast hosting platform means either some kind of
monetization going on in the background, or some kind of sharing of resources
between the podcasts, and I am not sure how that would look and work as HPR is
currently structured. I doubt Josh and AnHonestHost.net would mind some extra
capital coming in to offset the HPR resources they graciously give to HPR, but
it would be a completely new dynamic that would need to be worked out. If we
went that route, I see a Hacker Public Network (HPN) or Hacker Public
Broadcasting Network (HPBN) to which HPR would then become part of that
network, but HPR would remain basically the same.
Cheers,
Roan
