Hey, my friends. I am doing something today that's, I guess it's selfish. It's something

0:07.5

that maybe a friend would only ask of friends. And that's what I'm going to do. I'm going

0:12.5

to frame it this way. I'm a friend asking a friend. Here's the story. I was a 14 year FM

0:19.2

radio broadcaster in my home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. And I still have some name recognition

0:25.2

for that reason, especially with the 40 and older crowd. I've launched a second podcast,

0:31.3

True Stories with Seth Andrews. And I have an opportunity to get in on a special, I do

0:39.6

it sounds really salesy, but the idea is if you buy a certain number of digital billboards,

0:45.6

then you get extra, you get extra promotion at this particular time. Five grand is too much,

0:55.2

it's too big a bite of the apple for an activist like me. But considering I've been a host

1:28.8

man, dammit. And I want the show to be seen for two reasons. One is I just wanted to succeed. It's

1:34.4

damn good. I think there's a, a nest, there's a vacuum after Paul Harvey's rest of the story went

1:40.4

away. True stories follows that same spirit that goes to Paul Harvey is all over it. Secondly,

1:47.0

and this is equally as important to me. I want people to connect to the rest of our work, my work,

1:54.2

and this community through the name Seth Andrews. They go to Seth Andrews.com. They do a Google

2:00.5

search. There's the thinking atheist with 650 podcasts and videos and speeches and written

2:09.0

material and just conversations about really compelling things that relate to everybody.

2:18.6

And this is material that they might not otherwise be introduced to. And I really do think that

2:25.0

that is going to happen. So anyway, if you would like to give me a hand in this endeavor with a few
