Awesome man! I totally agree and it's so fucking cool to have you on
board. This is really important to us and we really want to get such a
massive underground following and start to be a legit threat to the
mainstream media.

I'm going to pitch the piece to a couple of other pubs this week when I get

The Onion local features section (which was cut largely due to the
Lemme think about how to best approach all of this. Overall, you guys have
tons of potential in terms of how much bigger you can get, and obviously no
one ever does everything they can to promote themselves, but your
quality-to-marketing ratio is either really high or really low (whichever
one means that you're not getting nearly as much of an audience as you
should, I don't know math lol).
I've only heard one or two episodes of Citizen Radio, but it's really a
fantastic program, and I'm not just saying that to be nice; you guys really
do have great presentation, obviously cover subjects of importance and do so
in a way that's palatable to even people who don't necessarily follow policy
and politics while still going deep enough to be informative to folks who
are already wonkish. That's a hard thing to do, particularly in a radio
format. Frankly, I think you're going to have more success in doing stuff
along these lines than in stand-up, and you've been pretty successful in
stand-up thus far.
I'll think about all of this and get back to you on how best to promote
Citizen Radio. I had actually been thinking perhaps that there could be a
way of interfacing Citizen Radio and Project PM in order to heavily promote
Citizen Radio; similarly, trying to determine how to integrate/connect with
organizations, as we've got several of them interested so far in being a
part of the project.
Anyway, would like to promote you guys' show and Allison's writing as of
course one of our goals is to advance the work of people like you and
colonize mainstream audiences for the greater glory of the reasonable sector
of the blogosphere.

Hey man,

If you think it won't get in anywhere bigger then I say go for it.

ALLTHOUGH we just taped this weeks episode and are thinking of
starting a massive pr/twitter campaign to get Obama on the show. We
figure if he goes on fox news he should answer to his progressive base
as well. We just want to get so many people tweeting them to do the
show that he has to. Should we do something about that?

Also I have my solo show April 28th in NYC. Any ideas to promote?
You're great man thanks!

Good move on your part; such people are obsolete in our new era. Let me
know
if I can be of any assistance with anything at all. I'll try to have
that
piece on you guys (tweaked and updated) published somewhere soon. How
would
you feel about it running on Huffington Post, True/Slant, and Daily Kos?
I
could also write another one for something else later. Let me know what
you
think.
