The question raised by this blog post feel valid. I think the things to consider are: * How do we encourage increased quality without also excluding those for who good audio quality is difficult to achieve? A proposed answer: maybe we have volunteers to help "produce" shows, rather than to

Hi, As a short time listener (February of this year), who spent a month and a half digging through the back catalog I have to say the show itself has kept me constantly enthralled. Yes some of the audio could be better but out of the 100+ shows I've listened to maybe 2 were totally unlistenable.

Just a quick note I may be wrong ,but I thought the comments about the "quality of shows" had more to do with those shows that felt more like they were put out just to put something out. Those shows that are about 3 min long. (On a side note I have no problem with those shows) I didn't think

Asked in isolation if the audio quality of any recording is important my answer is a unequivocal "Yes". Asked in isolation if coherent and eloquent speech is important my answer, again, is "Yes". Despite this I feel there are circumstances where the message is more important than the quality

Hi nstr, Since I follow you on Mastodon, I noticed the article when someone boosted it and decided to give it a read. I also join in with the others in saying that an apology is not necessary and I also believe you made some great points. Personally, I don't mind if the shows aren't polished as

Well, I'll offer my two cents since I feel as though I am going to somewhat represent the voice of dissent. I think the issues raised in the article are VERY valid, as are some of the issues raised in these responses. I'm glad we have a space to hash through them like the mailing list. Going

Hi rtsn, Speaking as a Janitor here for a moment. As Klaatu pointed out quite rightly some years ago, our shows are released under the Creative Commons license. There is nothing in that license that requires any listener to submit a show. There are many ways to contribute to HPR and many

Apology not necessary. In fact, I'd like to thank you for the post.     "I've considered this many times and attempted it a few but I'm terrible at podcasting" This is one of the reasons we don't have a minimum quality bar. I hope you reconsider and put out a show.  I read some of your

I don't think an apology is necessary. Your post generated healthy introspection, and was itself both respectful and kind. I think it's great that you're a listener and now, by way of constructive criticism, you are also a contributor. Keep spreading the word! On 25 April 2021 9:39:26 PM
