Do you think there is a Ian hush money conspiracy?
Do you remember when Ian was whoring to get the FSP to become a "partner"?
Do you know who is in charge of Advertising in the FSP?
Here is a chat between Ian the the suspected boner, Jason Sorens.
Q & A Chat Workshop with Jason Sorens - 12/21/0419:01:41 [JonM] Amanda seemed a bit frazzled on Sunday
19:02:00 [jsorens] well, mary is trying to get me offline, so i'd better go, unless there remain some urgent questions
19:02:04 [katdillon] Yeah, what was up with Amanda?
19:02:19 [katdillon] Thanks so much, Jason. Have a good night!
19:02:24 [RussellK] good to hear from you Jason
19:02:27 [rothameric] Thanks for your time, Jason. It was great to hear from you.
19:02:29 [JonM] her company bought another company, she's in charge of accounting
19:02:30 [Rinku] jsorens, out of curiousity, has anyone discovered the FSP through your Civilization 2 scenarios?
19:02:39 [Rinku] (i like them)
19:02:46 [Aldridge] Thank you Mr. Sorens. Good Evening.
19:02:47 [JonM] she's flat out working on that and year end financials
19:03:06 [Rinku] (not an urgent question, sorry)
19:03:16 [jsorens] rinku - not that i know of! i stopped making those years ago, before the fsp even began... but its always possible. my personal website used to link to the fsp. (doesnt now, b/c im applying for jobs in left-wing academia)
19:03:35 [FTL_Ian] I have one
19:03:51 [jsorens] youre too kind rinku. there are many better scenarios out there than my dabblings.
19:03:51 [FTL_Ian] You made reference to doing almost everything for recruiting
19:04:03 [Rinku] alright, thanks. my respect for you improved even more after i played those.
19:04:05 [svillee] I hope that means Amanda will be less frazzled in January
19:04:08 [RussellK] I didn't even know about that game
19:04:18 [FTL_Ian] Why has the FSP not partnered with Free Talk Live yet. Has there ever been a better offer on your table?
19:04:41 [FTL_Ian] I have had a few inquiries from the board, then silence
19:04:49 [FTL_Ian] Not even an objection
19:05:13 [JonM] I kinda have to side with Ian on that, if he's managed two stations so far, that's a lot better than established radio hosts have done trying to syndicate
19:05:14 [Rinku] maybe i could mke a civ 2 FSP scenario...
19:05:18 [jsorens] well, this is pretty much up to bob hull, the advertising director. my guess is that its just a matter of assessing the effectiveness of radio, the money in the budget, & so forth. but you definitely want to talk to bob for updates.
19:05:26 [Rinku] would be interesting to attempt
19:05:39 [katdillon] We do keep having sign ups from FTL
19:05:48 [FTL_Ian] I was under the delusion that the board made these decisions together.
19:05:49 [RussellK] cool rinku
19:05:53 [katdillon] Cool, Rinu!
19:06:13 [FTL_Ian] BobH is an exclusive decision maker when it comes to advertising?
19:06:24 [jsorens] nope! the circle tries not interfere in those decisions at all. the circle (or board) is strictly limited to general policy decisions.
19:06:34 [JonM] the leadership polyhedron!
19:06:39 [FTL_Ian] 4 stations
19:07:13 [jsorens] theoretically, the whole circle/board could overrule a director, but thats generally not good policy. if a director isnt doing a good job, that director needs to be replaced. better than micromanaging by committee
19:07:26 [JonM] terrestrial?
19:07:29 [FTL_Ian] Jason, can you email me his phone number to ian@freetalklive.com?
19:07:46 [jsorens] will do
Guess who lives in Grafton?
Ian's freind and freetowner Bob Hull.
Ian, how often do you call Bob in Grafton? Was that just a one time thing? I would think you would need to talk to your "partners" every once in a while. Who signs the checks?

Bob Hull, another Free Towner from New Jersey, found something to love in Grafton. He recently bought 240 swampy acres on the east side of town and hopes to move in soon. He said he might sell some land to other Free Towners or develop it himself. Hull said he'll understand if his neighbors don't welcome him immediately.
"I guess a certain amount of xenophobia should be expected,"Hull said.
