The "Rules"

Just wanted to let you know that we added a rule to our list of rules on the Join In page. These rules are meant to help — please email us if you find something unreasonable. We think it’s all pretty reasonable. The recently added rule is:

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.
