It would be cool if it was monthly instead of yearly too. Also PayPal is a must and it is international in most countries.

I was thinking that part of the coolnees factor of havinga "club" would be to get exclusive goodies. Maybe we could work something out...I'll have to see what we can come up with. Ok, so now that a bunch of you appear to be onboard, we need to think up a name for this little "club." What are your suggestions? What should it be called? -S Christina,

Right now now $60 dolloars a year is expensive for me right now; you know a poor college student. I was wondering is there anyway that we can just buy the t-shirt? I would be all over that.

The only reason to pay upfront would be to get a t-shirt. If I sent everyone a t-shirt that paid $5 a month, you could cancel after you got the shirt and I would lose a bunch of money. The year-long membership just gives me more of an understanding of how many t-shirts I should have made. The bonus content would most-likely get their own rss feed. It will be different from the regular rss and I'm not sure how I'd manage it yet. -S I agree Rian, $60 upfront is a significant chunk of change.

If I was rolling in money I would do it no problem. Also for the pay members or club service will the show still be published with an rss feed? If there are no rss feeds it is almost worthless since I will never manually download the show. I could do $5 a month, but $60 up front is a lot to ask of a collage kid for a podcast.

Also I still need to finalize the plan and cost and such, but the benefit of signing up for a year vs. per month would be that you'd get a t-shirt. If you did $5 a month you'd just be paying for the extra content. The people that pay $60 a year would get a new exclusive t-shirt or some other merch every year....make sense? Good idea? Bad Idea?

Also, this is just a thought, but if you're doing $5.00 month, what's the incentive to pay for it all up front if it costs the same. You know how Sirius and alot of other things do a free month if you pay for the service in advance. You might be able to rake in more up front money to cover your costs or merchandise by offering some sort of discount (a free month of shows) by paying for a full year. That's just a thought you may want to consider though. i think i would probably pay for it, however would it ONLY be about your life or would it still be about the news topics and things that piss you off, you know that i’m saying?

It would be free to all that wanted it. This "club" idea would be for people that want more content and merchandise other that the free show. I am actually really excited about the idea. Hopefully you guys understand that the reason I would need to charge is not so that I can get rich, but more to cover the costs of the T-shirts and the time to produce the extra content. Anyway, keep the emails and the comments coming! -S I want to be clear that the existing American Cliche show that comes out each Tuesday would remain the same.
