So, let me clarify the question to "*Should* we be a podcast or
podcast hosting platform ".
So far, I don't feel like anyone "hosting their podcast" on HPR has
abused the spirit of posting to HPR.
Agreed, I think everyone has entered into this in good faith. HPR can
operate as either a podcast or podcast hosting platform, but i would
like to see the direction
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.
First there is no guarantee or suggestion that money would be flowing
into a podcast hosting platform. Were sponsorship deals be entered into
by podcasts on a podcast hosting platform, there is nothing to suggest
that any of that money would flow to the podcast hosting platforms
koffers. In fact Youtube, Facebook etc are expected to pay the content
creators.
Anyway when money gets involved, we go to a whole other layer of
oversight, and bureaucracy that I would much prefer to have nothing to
do with. If you want to contribute, send your donation to
Josh/AnHonestHost or The Internet Archive. When HPR needs stuff, the
community usually provides.
As far as needing a podcast hosting platform, there already is one, and
that is the Internet Archive. They already provide an API, and they
provide the hosting for us and many other Creative Commons podcasts as
well. In fact that is where HPR shows that have gone live are hosted
from, so what value would hosting on HPR provide ?
