      In this episode Kevie talks about the basic steps of recording an
      HPR episode.</p>
    <p>
      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.</p>
    <p>
      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.</p>
    <p>
      For early stage simple and effective recording use your mobile
      phone. I recommend <a
        href="https://github.com/Dimowner/AudioRecorder" rel="noopener
        noreferrer" target="_blank">
        <strong>
          Audio Recorder</strong>
      </a>
      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.</p>

      For recording on a Linux desktop I would recommend using something
      simple like <a href="https://github.com/ryonakano/reco"
        rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
        <strong>
          Reco</strong>
      </a>
      .</p>
    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
      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 <strong>
        Record from</strong>
      button and you are given the choice of microphone, system audio or
      both. Set this to <strong>
        both</strong>
      and whichever way you chat Reco will record the conversation.</p>
    <p>
      Once you have recorded your file then simply head to the HPR
      website: </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Click upload (top left) </li>
      <li>
        Pick an available slot</li>
      <li>
        Complete the show notes</li>
      <li>
        Upload the file</li>
      <li>
        Click submit</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      That's it, we look forward to hearing your first show.</p>
