6	RULES FOR LISTENER PICKS EPISODE: Listener pick "Best of 20XX" episodes are no longer standard products of Nerd Noise Radio, starting in 2022 for "Best of 2020 / 2021", and have been replaced by "Best of...St. John's Picks" and "Best of...Hugues' Picks" episodes. However, under certain circumstances, we will still make listener picked "F-isodes" on Ch F. Those circumstances: I receive a combined MINIMUM of 20 tracks (combined maximum of 60, and I'll pick and choose if we go over that), and I receive those submissions from a MINIMUM of 5 distinct liseners. Now, the breakdown isn't important. It could be 16 and 1, 1, 1, 1. That part doesn't matter. If I have a minimum of five people track me down on their own, without me chasing them down, with a combined total of at least 20 tracks, and that happens, by, say, last day of April of the following year.....then your wish will be granted....and we'll make an "F-isode" of it. So, this list will still be released to the public after the release of the final episode on the list. You can get submissions to me through any available means: email at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com, through Facebook, Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Discord, Podbean, or any other means of communication. We'll be keeping an eye/ear out for your submissions. This document is also the document that Hugues and I will use to make our own "Best ofs". Cheers! - St. John
