We started producing shows as Today with a Techie on 2005-09-19, 19 years, 9 months, 1 days ago. Our shows are produced by listeners like you and can be on any topics that "are of interest to hackers". If you listen to HPR then please consider contributing one show a year. If you record your show now it could be released in 4 days.

We are running very low on shows at the moment. Have a look at the hosts page and if you don't see "2025-??-??" next to your name, or if your name is not listed, you might consider sending us in something.
