Hobby Public Radio is a technology focused podcast that releases shows every weekday Monday to Friday. Our shows are produced by listeners like you and can be on any topic that is of interest to hobbyists, makers, etc. We are a welcoming community that offers positive feedback and encourages respectful debate.

Free Slots Available

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.
