Tech question- what is the best way to share audio files on the forum?
I have several large MP3 audio files of an interview that I'd like to share on the forum.

What is the best way to post these?

Onedrive or Dropbox an option?

I know we have a few members hosting videos saved from YT, to keep them before they're purged. Maybe one of them could host it/them?

You can upload them to YouTube but keep them unlisted and post or send the links where ever you want. That way they couldn't be found by doing a search on YouTube or by looking at your page on YouTube. As long as it's not copyrighted material, YouTube shouldn't flag it as inappropriate content either.

This is the easiest way.

Also, I would love to hear the interviews. I used to interview a lot if people. In my career, interviewed at least a 1000 people. Some ere good, a lot if them were comedy gold.

One option is to post on Anchor.fm. You can easily upload MP3 files and distribute as a podcast. It's free and they do not add any ads.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

Short answer is (assuming a reasonably standard file format) to
1) store that file somewhere online, and
2) put the URL to the file in a post as a link.
