but i guess that's what i don't get; they blatantly admit they are paying for all this.  like, sure it's an older medium, but i have called into several conservative talk radio shows, and just random radio shows like coast to coast or local stuff.  you can get *your own voice* on the radio, you can legit talk to show hosts who are "famous", you can have that whole experience, and get this you just fucking pick up the phone and call in.  like i don't understand. i never thought about it as cool really, just a kinda "oh wait, they want people who know about x or were at y event to call in, and i was there/know that!" but like holy shit if the show host was like "now we'll talk the next caller who at this event, but if you pay $5 i will take your call no matter what!"  do....do i need to use this e celeb model for a new conservative talk radio show?
