Calling a phone number during a scant window in the hopes of being selected to appear on the air is a longshot. I'd be fine with calling this fraud, recording the call start to finish on my end, and uploading it, unaltered. I just doubt it would work out.
Generally, calling a radio show involves a screening process. If you haven't got praise for the guy you're calling, or at least an easily-defeated counterargument, you don't get through. I know a little about this: I've got a history in radio. Real radio; not christian creationist bullshit radio. Granting that Hovind is a publicly-known fraud, I assume that he's at least as unctuous with these policies as real stations are.
This board, on the other hand, is safe. Technically, I could delete or alter posts, but it wouldn't help much. By the time I saw a post, downloaded it, altered or deleted it, and uploaded the associated revisions, enough people would have seen, cached, printed, and memorised the post that getting rid of it and pretending I hadn't would lead quickly to getting caught. A debate here on the board would be safe for all parties.
So. If hovind has the courage to post his assertions to this board, I'll read them through, watching for A) the ability to falsify them, making them valid hypothesis; provided that we get that far, I'll ask for and expect to see B) evidence supporting those hypotheses.
So. That's the deal. My 250,000 visitor challenge. If Hovind has the balls to post his bullshit here, to be forever documented for future reference, it'll be seen by countless nullifidians, atheists, agnostics, and even the rare theist--christian and non. If he wants to make an impression upon those he claims to want to save from that thar devil, this is the place to do it.
Of course, if he's a coward who avoids leaving evidence of lost debates, I guess we'll understand that too.
