Hi Ken et al I have a show that just needs an edit so I will do that now.
I already understood from somewhere that more than one show per fornight was frowned upon. Don't recall from where exactly. So that guideline is fine by me. One suggestion for increasing diversity: invites someone you know to do a show with you. I'm sure we all know folk who have interesting things to say but who are not yet on HPR. We can then point out to the guest how easy it is do record and submit a show :) Also, we can spice things up a bit by doing shows with a co-host from amongst our own ranks. If there are N hosts there are many more than N co-hosting pairs. In fact, it is N choose 2 which can be expressed mathematically as follows... I'll do a show, in >2 weeks time.
