Hi All,

First , *w**e need shows immediately* as there is an empty queue next week, and the number of Emergency/Reserve shows are also dwindling. So please finish that show you were thinking of submitting and send it in. If you don't care when it's released please put "Use as Emergency show" in the show notes for now.

... hold music while you do that ...

I am concerned about the future of HPR, as a project where the shows are produced by the community. At this rate we cease to be a bar camp style podcast and become one where the shows are provided by a rotating team of "regulars".

Ideally we would like it so that every show is contributed by a different host, giving a 1:1 ratio between show and host. So far this year all but 4 of the submissions are from hosts who submitted more than one show, a 3:1 ratio. Ahuka aside, the majority are as a result of kindhearted hosts who contribute shows at the last minute to fill the vacant slots.

To make this problem more visible I would like to introduce the following Scheduling Guideline "*No host should submit any more than one show in a two week period.*" Of course these are guidelines etc etc., but it should still allow prolific hosts to submit shows while not masking the underlying issue that we have yet to address.

Which is: We need new hosts, but we also need old hosts who have not submitted shows this year to submit a show.

How do we solve this problem ?
