In this episode Kevie talks about the basic steps of recording an HPR episode.

The first step is to plan the episode. What will it be about and also consider the purpose of the show: is it to introduce a topic, give information, entertain, be a tutorial or instructional, an informal yarn.

Write down the points that you want to cover and any links that you are going to reference. This will help you when it comes to recording and also it can act as your show notes.

For early stage simple and effective recording use your mobile phone. I recommend Audio Recorder as it allows you to record in WAV, you can change the sample rate and it doesn't include adverts or any features that are paid for only.

For recording on a Linux desktop I would recommend using something simple like Reco .

If you want to record a show with somebody else then you will need to use a PC as Google banned applications that have the ability to record calls. To do this with Reco you simply click on the Record from button and you are given the choice of microphone, system audio or both. Set this to both and whichever way you chat Reco will record the conversation.

Once you have recorded your file then simply head to the HPR website:

Click upload (top left)
Pick an available slot
Complete the show notes
Upload the file
Click submit

That's it, we look forward to hearing your first show.
