"In this episode our two ageing heroes explore the inner workings of a
podcast (or podcast hosting platform depending on your perspective)
called Hacker Public Radio."
Are we a podcast or podcast hosting platform ?
I believe there is a fundamental difference between the two. Knowing
which we are impacts the direction we will take as a project.
Can you please provide your view on this.
Hi All,
I just want to summarize the topic as to my understanding of the current
situation.
I don't think there is a need to amend the rules related to syndication
because they are pretty clear on the subject. As Yannik pointed out at
the time, the Linux InLaws was a syndicated podcast, but we granted them
an exception so they could bootstrap their show. My failing here was to
not have specified firm conditions for what bootstrapping a podcast on
HPR would look like, and how long it would take, and then ensure it was
managed correctly.
There seems to be a clear desire to keep HPR as a podcast and not
transition to a podcast hosting platform. What I came to realize was
that the HPR setup could be adapted to become a podcast hosting platform
with minor changes. For example, were we to not release the main feed,
remove the HPR branding, and provide each show their own schedule, then
each hosted podcast (now HPR series) would be their own entity. However
it's not something that the community, janitors, or the HPR patrons are
enthusiastic about implementing.
The idea of a FLOSS alternative to other proprietary podcast platforms
is not a bad idea on the whole, but thinking about it the Internet
Archive is already providing most if not all needed to host a podcast.
Thanks everyone for the feedback related to this topic, and I hope that
everyone appreciates any frustration came from genuine misunderstanding.
We're working with the InLaws to migrate their show shortly after the
date of the last LI episode posted to HPR has been passed 2022-09-22.
I've asked monochromec to record a show on the process so that other
would be podcasters could benefit from the experience.
