How to contribute

1. Register on this site.
2. Read the The Rules below
3. Email us and volunteer to "own" a particular day or days of 2009.
4. Plan out your show and record it as best you can.
5. Send us your audio at least 30 days before your air date.

All voices, all accents, everyone is welcome.

The Rules

1. All dates are on a first come first serve basis.
2. You may sign up for up to 12 dates (one per month) but you are only guaranteed 1 date if we experience extremely high levels of participation.
3. You are not required to base your podcast on the calendar.
4. You must submit your audio no less than 30 days before your air date(s) or you may lose your date(s).
5. All contributions must be less than 10 minutes in length. Feel free to point people to an extended version that you host on your own site.
6. All contributions should be G-rated.
7. The subject matter need not be appropriate for all listeners. Some topics will be too basic or too complex for some listeners. That's OK. A podcast about the magnitude scale is encouraged, as is one on neutrinos in the early universe.
8. All podcasts should be premiering at least some content. We don't want to solely re-broadcast previously published material. It is OK if you include excerpts of your previously published material in your podcast and we encourage you to direct people to more information.
9. Contributions will be accepted and published at the sole discretion of the IYA New Media Working Group.
