The Fourteenth Annual 26 Hour New Year's Eve Show

Welcome every TimeZone!

If you keep talking, we'll keep recording.

For those who don't know, on New Year's Eve 2025-12-31 10:00 UTC (5:00 AM EST), we will have a recording going on the HPR Mumble server for anyone to come on and say "Happy New Year" and talk about whatever they want. We will leave the recording going until at least 2026-01-01 12:00 UTC (7:00 AM EST), and keep recording until the conversation stops.

So please stop in. Say "Hi" and maybe join in the conversation with other HPR listeners and contributors. It's always a good time!!
