These first couple episodes got us @ 14k an ep, which puts me about 7% of the way to the goal. My goal is to get to 200k listeners in ~18 months. How does one do this? The easiest way we found on Reply All is to have our stories appear on other shows.

I am also currently @ $60k in the hole in terms of starting this thing up. ($40k of my own money/$20k of loan. As the show grows, to ensure I will be making the necessary amount of money, I have the option to continue borrowing money to the tune of about $15k a month for a year.
