Hacker Public Radio (HPR) is a podcast published on weekdays with no regular host. Its content is provided by listeners under a [Creative Commons license|Creative Commons] license, generally the Attribution + ShareAlike (BY-SA) license. It was created by StankDawg as a successor of his Binary Revolution Radio show.
The podcast covers many topics, with an overall goal to cover any subject that may be of interest to Hackers. Frequent topics include hacking, programming, Information security, and computer networking in addition to issues of interest to the community, but other topics have included on health care, cooking, gaming, financial planning, and much more. As of 2019-10-31 it has released 2,934 episodes.
Governance[edit]
HPR is entirely governed by its community. Currently, Ken Fallon is the volunteer who ensures that every day has a show scheduled, and alerts the community when there are upcoming gaps in the schedule that need to be filled.
Policy decisions are proposed and discussed on its mailing list (open to everyone to join, even people who have never contributed an episode). Mailing list discussions are brought to the attention of the listening community on the first Monday of the month in a special community news episode, a kind of "town hall" meeting that is itself open for anyone to participate in.
Contributing an episode to HPR is done through a web form, in which you schedule a time slot for your episode, and then upload the audio file. Shows are not curated or censored.
HPR is hosted gratis through AnHonestHost.com, and many of its files are stored on the Internet Archive. As of 2019-10-31 it contains 53 Gigabytes of audio.[1]
