If a series that has been on HPR turns into its own podcast, that is cool, but that should mean that it can stand on its own two feet and does not require to be syndicated on HPR.
It does not stop them from going and doing a short podcast here covering a highlight of the other podcast. It isn't so much giving them "the boot" as it is making sure the podcast stays within the rules the community has defined.

To give you some background, the decision to only release material created exclusively for HPR, was taken by the mail list. But it was a hard decision to make, and even harder to implement. http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2012-October/011545.html At the time we had to drop three shows from the podcast and we have turned away more than 20 different podcasts since then. We started https://freeculturepodcasts.org/, and have the "Podcast Recommendation" Series in order to lighten the message we're giving in having to turn good people away. It sucks turning these shows away, especially when we had a call for shows open. Thankfully most of these shows remained friends and understood the reasons for the decision, were grateful of the publicity we could provide, and many went on to be HPR contributors, supplying shows and staffing the HPR booths. While there may have been doubt to start with, the Linux InLaws now definitely qualifies as a syndicated show. We have rules - rules that were agreed after a fair bit of thought and discussion in the community - but the Inlaws are now outside these rules which puts us in a difficult position, whether arrived at by accident or not. So to me at least, this is rather more than putting HPR into a slightly uncomfortable position, it calls into question the impartiality with which we applied the rules. I need an answer to the question "why are they allowed to be on HPR and ${podcast} isn't ?" and right now I don't have one. -- Regards, Ken Fallon (PA7KEN,G5KEN) https://kenfallon.com https://hackerpublicradio.org/hosts/ken_fallon _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
