So, let me clarify the question to "*Should* we be a podcast or podcast hosting
platform ".
So far, I don't feel like anyone "hosting their podcast" on HPR has abused the
spirit of posting to HPR.
Agreed, I think everyone has entered into this in good faith. HPR can operate
as either a podcast or podcast hosting platform, but i would like to see the
direction
From my point of view we keep the same direction. A podcast that happens to allow other
podcasts to post their episodes in our feed. By direction, do you mean the same, or is
that the question about direction: allowing other show's to "host" themselves
through the HPR feed?
For me the connotation of a podcast hosting platform means either some kind of
monetization going on in the background, or some kind of sharing of resources
between the podcasts, and I am not sure how that would look and work as HPR is
currently structured. ...
Anyway when money gets involved, we go to a whole other layer of oversight, and
bureaucracy that I would much prefer to have nothing to do with. If you want to
contribute, send your donation to Josh/AnHonestHost or The Internet Archive.
When HPR needs stuff, the community usually provides.
I didn't state it, but I agree. It is another whole level of complexity that is
not worth the effort.
As far as needing a podcast hosting platform, there already is one, and that is
the Internet Archive. They already provide an API, and they provide the hosting
for us and many other Creative Commons podcasts as well. In fact that is where
HPR shows that have gone live are hosted from, so what value would hosting on
HPR provide ?
The value of hosting your shows on HPR, at least initially, is a fairly large
audience with presumably similar interest is introduced to your content.
