The Fifteenth 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 , 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 , 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!!

Now would be a great opportunity to get your show to the top of the queue! We ask each listener to send in just one show a year. Check the hosts page, and if you don't see "2026-??-??" next to your name, or if your name is not listed, then you should send in a show. Any unfilled slots for next week will be filled from the Reserve Pool. Remember that HPR will stop as a project if there are not enough shows.
