Hi everyone,
Ken has kindly shared with me the detail surround this particular episode.
I understand Ken's reluctance to publicise the full detail at this time, due to the potential impact on the individuals involved. This situation is not as straight-forward as it might appear on the surface, but this not a simple case of censorship. It is my opinion that Ken's dealings with this have been completely on point, and I am in full support of his actions.
As the host has agreed to (and, in fact they offered) the removal of the episode from being published on HPR, that is what I recommend is done.
Many thanks,
Dave
Thanks Dave,
I removed the show.
In other news we appear to have a call for shows open ;-)-- Regards, Ken Fallon (PA7KEN,G5KEN) https://kenfallon.com https://hackerpublicradio.org/hosts/ken_fallonOn 2022-03-24 23:05, Dave Lee wrote:

The host has got back in touch with me after been away for a few weeks
without Internet access.We now have the permission to remove the show.
I have brought this thread to their attention.
I am producing a report into the chain of events that took place. I have
requested the community members who expressed concern about moving the
shows review it. With the goal to report back to the list with their
opinions on the matter.

Again I have no idea if there are content issues with this show that cross any of those boundaries or any show. But don’t cry censorship if I or the admins/janitors/etc choose to disallow a show that promotes hateful or illegal activity. That is not censorship. That is safety and responsibility. You must trust the system and again I trust Ken completely.
