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.
