No problem I've renamed the site to Hobby Public Radio. LOL :-)

From the policy point of view there is no real discussion. The HPR site
says 'Our shows are produced by listeners like you and can be on any
topic that "are of interest to hobbyists/hackers".'
What makes
Ok LnB, I'd like to see your format so I can derive something similar without
going too far outside of your structures. I love the idea of "I watched this,
it was horrible and here is why you should watch it"
*Poof* minds blown.

I listened to an episode of snoring. I welcome movie reviews.

In my mind, this is an open series, with an open format. I have a
particular way I want to do mine, but there's
I'm interested if we can open this up to a pool larger than archive.org even
though there is great content there. I surf the bargain bins and buy a lot of
media from yard sales.
My library is almost 95% sourced second hand. P2P counts as second hand right?

I think this is a great idea. As far as the relavance to hackers, there seems
to be a significant overlap in hacker culture and Free culture (especially in
the HPR community), so pulling from archive.org and the like seems to align
well.
As someone who was regularly involved in the HPR
This is an excellent question. I think it's been discussed before but
what do hackers do better than discuss things ad infinitum?
Hackers are people, too. As such, stories are of interest to hackers.
In some ways, stories seem almost as on topic as firing up your favorite
hex editor. Not
I think if we had a recurring show where people reviewed an audio book,
there is no reason why we couldn't have a show where someone did a movie
review. Personally I don't think the movie being reviewed would have to be
"free", but that's just my opinion. I think a review of free movies, low
I think this is of interest to hackers. Certainly is to this one, anyway.
I agree with your solution to defining 'free'. If you can find it in a place
that claims to be doing due diligence in determining that the film's creators
intend it to be available for $0 then it's good to go. And if some

Granted I haven't contributed an episode in a few months but what do
movies have to do with hackers?
I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, general inquiry. I have no
strong feelings one way or the other about the idea.

Happy Hacking!
That's a very good point. If a movie is available from a public domain source
then it's reasonable to request that the host identifies that source. Otherwise
it is simply a movie recommendation (or possibly the opposite) and it is up to
the HPR listener to decide how, and from where, to obtain

That's a good question. I

pretty sure it has a few years to run before it becomes public domain.

I think there was a film review series on HPR a while back that was a
group chat thing. That's a real hassle to edit (at least, I find it to
be). I'm more
This is cribbed from a letter I sent to Ken, and he suggested I might
want to run it by the list.
I had an idea for an HPR series. As you might recall, among the many
podcasts he did, Lord Drachenblut had one called "Ten Buck Review",
wherein he reviewed movies from the bargain bin at Wal-mart
