I know Stefan mentioned awhile ago that he was working on a book, any update on when it will be out. I think it would be immensely helpful for a lot of people, myself included. In the meantime, what are the best 1-2 books to start with?

Google Music now features podcasts, please post!

Agreed! Is there anywhere else that gets good traffic where they should be posted. Soundcloud? -
They aren't mutually exclusive. He could do both. This would just be an additional revenue stream. And it isn't like he is bringing an audience to specific advertisers that he contracts with. It is just whatever YouTube serves up.

I know Stef has talked about this quite, and I believe he has good reasons for a 100% donation-based model. However, I still believe that the best way to grow the show is to simply enable ads on YouTube and thus I will bring this up once again. FDR is forecast to have 52.5 million views over the next year. This translates into $75-179k in YouTube revenue (http://youtubemoney.co/). Stef does not have to actively promote any product or service, and there will be no interruptions during videos like Stef has mentioned before as a reason to not use advertising. All that would happen is that some videos have short ads that can be skipped at the beginning, and there will be small pop ups on videos. This is extremely widespread on YouTube and widely accepted so I don't think people will find it to be a big nuisance. Any lost traffic from these minor nuisances would be more than offset by the increased reach FDR could have from an additional $100k/year put into growing the show. Stef could hire an additional person or two, could advertise his show elsewhere, or any number of things with this additional revenue. So, I'd love to hear some good rationale for why this massive revenue stream should continue to ignored year after year. I completely understand why Stef wouldn't want to do "live reads" for sponsors or anything like that, but this is extremely passive advertising with which Stef does not have to be affiliated with.

Is the brand name "Freedomain Radio" causing problems?

Yeah, I agree with your assessment. -

Yeah, I think the "Radio" in the tile is very confusing for a lot of people. Anybody know why Stef decided to call it that? -

I think this has the potential to go viral. Please share this everywhere - Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. I've been posting it to groups who are already very anti-circumcision as well as those who would be in favor of it like Jewish and Islamic groups. Both sides need to see this presentation, and I think this will help it get many more views.

Truth: The FDR Documentary teaser
voluntaryistmitch replied to Mick Bynes's topic in General Feedback
Awsome! I think it would be great if Stef could run some Facebook promos when the documentary comes out. It is cheap, can be targeted to the right audience, and we could all chip in to fund the ads. -
Truth: The FDR Documentary teaser
voluntaryistmitch replied to Mick Bynes's topic in General Feedback
Yes, the teaser was great. Everybody needs to share this far and wide. This must get even more views than "The Story of Your Enslavement." I say we shoot for at a minimum 5 million views. The FDR community will be integral to helping it go viral. -
[anchor=_GoBack][/anchor]Hey everyone, Iwas wondering if anybody would like to participate with me in a "Drudgebomb" by sending the link to the video "There Will Be No EconomicRecovery?" I think Drudge would eatthis up, and he or somebody on his staff may take a look at this and post it ifthey get enough people submitting the link. If we could get it posted, it would bring in thousands of extra viewsand potential new listeners... Isimply went to http://www.drudgereport.com/ and submitted the following in the"SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE" section (far right column): "ThereWill Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly."
