Valid points all. That page needed some love and attention. I cleaned it up a bit.

Hi All,

I am one of the admins of HPR and I would like to address some of the points here.

We do not host any malware. If at any time you notice anything coming from our domain email me directly on admin at hacker public radio dot org.

Our comment system was overrun by spammers and scammers so it's possible the bad reputation came from there. When I started admining the site, I manually went through them all and now I approve all comments which has made them go away and has reduced our traffic by half. I think trend micro is scared of the word "hacker". Oddly enough I'm allowed to browse to the website but it's only when I go to the rss page does it give a warning.

As far as the comment from planckscnst goes, I'm not going to give any excuses for the audio quality. We are a podcast network where the members of the community can submit a show on any topic that "are of interest to hackers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_(hobbyist). Some of the hosts start off a little rough but get find their feet as time goes on. It's on my list to put up a page of tips but a lot of becoming a podcaster is getting your own workflow sorted. Our focus is on content and we will not reject any show so long as it's audible.

The best way to get topics you like on air is to submit a show. It can be on any topic you like and as long or as short as you like.

Ken.
