  • Well, thanks to Chicagoland Radio and Media I came across this today. Can't wait to read the book! Rock on.

  • A great, must read book. Hopefully this is the start of right wronging wrong in the broadcast monopoly. Bring on the movie!!!

  • Woah... amazing.

  • Wonderful video, and can't wait to read the book! Be sure to send this to the Daily Show--Rick would make a great guest. I'll be sure to spread this link to the wind among like-minded media reformers here in Madison, Wisconsin. The powers- that-be may have the upper hand right now, but when faced with the original creativity and innovation that New Media make possible as exemplified by this video and book, they don't stand a chance.

  • Got this book and read it in one sitting. Fantastic. I'm realizing that I worked with - and for - most of the characters in this book!

  • I've been waiting for this book since I heard about it. Rick Kaempfer's earlier book was lots of fun.

  • My copy of "$everance" arrived in the mail today. I've heard quite a bit about it already, and fully expect I won't be able to put it down (as has been my experience with the other satires from the ENC Press catalog I've read.

  • I also like this week's Imus scandal: CBS firing him "for cause," so he's suing to get the money they owe him. (Is "the cause" his attitude, which is really old news, or the loss of advertisers due to his attitude, which is new?)

  • Hey Rick, there's some clown wearing a Sox jacket in your book promo. How did that get by the censors?

    Congratulations and can't wait to read it!

  • Funny, especially with the news today of Rupert Murdoch continuing his quest for world domination.
