HRN 505: Podcasting at the Speed of Light

First… I’m giving everything a new number - episodes, promos… if I far… sneeze, I’m giving it an episode number.

So, we had planned to do the episode that we Promo(re)d last Sunday sometime during the week. Well, we couldn’t. It’ll be on this coming Sunday, December 3 at 3pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern, 2200Z. We’ll be reviewing and picking apart the radio mistakes in the Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See.

So what are we doing here in 505? (Besides piling up episode numbers?) Mostly celebrating that I was able to win another Fair Use battle. We played the trailer to the show last Sunday. Netflix filed a Copyright claim and demonetized it (even though we don’t monetize). That didn’t affect anyone’s ability to watch the show, but there’s a principle involved. I disputed the claim based on Fair Use. Netflix caved… er, agreed in les than 24 hours, a new speed record.

We kept this show fairly short. No such promises for Sunday. -Gary K4AAQ
