Did you know that we now have different ways for you to tip your favorite live show hosts on Free Talk Live, Questioning Authority, or Freer Talk Live? It's easy. If you want to send a tip as you're listening live, here's how:
USD or GOLD: Visit http://tip.lrn.fm and use the form to pay with either your credit card or Paypal. If you tip over $4, you can even include a message that appears on-screen for everyone watching to see. If you would like the hosts to receive gold in the form of the super-cool Goldback currency, just say so in your message. In order for hosts to receive Goldbacks, the tip must be a minimum of $5 per host in-studio.
CRYPTO: You can use the spiffy "tip.cc" bot in our Discord server to tip your favorite hosts directly with your choice of dozens of cryptocurrencies and crypto tokens. Just send the tip.cc bot a private message of $help to learn...
"Freer Talk Live" is the name for our aftershow that we perform exclusively on our video streaming platforms, DLive and Twitch . Though Freer Talk Live episodes can happen anytime we feel like doing it, Jay Noone, Silver Dave, and Nobody have consistently been doing weekly episodes on Wednesdays for the last couple of months. If you want to watch past episodes, check out the archives on the LRN.FM YouTube here .
If you'd like to watch them perform live, tune into DLive or Twitch starting at 10:30pm Eastern time on Wednesday evenings. If you're not yet following our channel on either platform, please do that. We recently crossed 1,000 followers on Twitch and are close to 900 on DLive.

Unfortunately for the last couple of weeks our Soundcloud account has been serving up incorrect filenames when trying to directly download from FreeTalkLive.com. Soundcloud has yet to fix this issue and I haven't decided how much longer I want to wait for it. If you are a direct downloader, you can temporarily fix the problem by renaming the generic filename of "Soundcloud Download" to have a .mp3 after it. Our file naming system is FTLYYYY-MM-DD.mp3, but you can name the files whatever you want, so long as it ends in .mp3, it should play back just fine on your preferred listening device.
I'm told that the filename issue is not affecting our podcast listeners. If you would like to move from direct downloads to automatic podcast downloads, please subscribe to our podcast. You can just enter this URL into your podcast client: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ftlradio or subscribe to one of our other feeds at...

Nobody will be joining me and Rich E. Rich tonight to discuss his recent deplatforming from a major social media website. The news has yet to break on this, so we're going to break it on tonight's live episode of Free Talk Live. You can watch it starting just after 7pm Eastern via Twitch or DLive and of couse listen to our audio streams at FreeTalkLive.com .

During last night's Freer Talk Live featuring me, Nobody, and Captain Kickass, raving lunatic James Wittekind called in and we gave him his own show. If you love James' drunken rants, you'll find 20+ minutes of him in the latest episode of Freer Talk Live . Plus, before he calls in, we talk about the latest with Facebook's Libra and more! It was a great show.
I don't want to break the news just yet, but Nobody just did a photo shoot for a major newspaper. There's a chance the story will hit tomorrow - Monday - and then we can share it with you and you can share it on your social media. There's viral potential on this one for sure. Stay tuned to FTL's social media for the breaking news. You can follow us on Twitter , Mastodon , and Telegram .
Also, just days before Keene's primary municipale election. which features both Nobody for mayor and me running for city council, I've published a video of last weekend's 10th anniversary 420 rally here at Keene's Central Square. Please do share that if you like it.
As we discussed recently on the show, Stellar is a very exciting technology for native exchange of assets like stablecoins and other cryptos. I'm using Stellar Lumens (XLM) on our Discord as my primary tipping method with our new crypto tip bot . Now, we're accepting contributions via Stellar Lumens - see our wallet address along with several other cryptos on our Tip Jar page .
This is such cool news I thought it deserves its own email. This weekend I was recommended a new bot for our Discord server . Normally bots are used for things like moderation but this bot, tip.cc ., is a crypto tipping bot. This bot is amazing. It lets you easily tip anyone on the LRN.FM Discord server . Not only can you tip other chatters, your favorite callers, and favorite show hosts - most are on Discord - but you can also "airdrop" crypto into a chat room and let anyone who wants it, lock in their claim. After a time limit specified by the tipper, the airdrop is divvied up between those who opted-in. You can do some other neat stuff with the bot. Its username is "tip.cc". Just send it a private message of "$help" - without the quotes - to learn some basics. Click the little icons that appear under its help message to see even more commands.

This week, Nobody's first local media campaign appearance happened at Keene State College's radio station on "Wake Up Call", a wed morning show hosted by Vincent. Wake Up Call is basically a broadcast-friendly version of his LRN.FM show, "Questioning Authority". I recorded video of the whole interview, which you can see here .
