I agree with what Henrik Hemrin commented.  I did learn a lot about HPR and the expectations.  

The listener to host ratio was staggering.  I was a listener for a while before becoming a host, so am part of the slim statistic.  In Ken's words, "You are the exception that proves the rule" 

I don't quite remember when I found out about HPR, possibly around 2008.  I was looking for podcasts as a new Linux user and I think HPR was one of them.  Linux Outlaws was the other that comes to mind.  My first show was 2015-12-15, which
was too short, but at least it was a start.
