I wanted to give you all an update on the status of the show. It doesn’t look like we’re going to get the sponsorship we were hoping for this quarter. That means we’d be looking at an April 1st start date at the earliest before the show resumes production. Still, every single day on Facebook I get one or two people that message me or ask me via chat when the show is coming back. It seems that interest is still there, but people haven’t been too keen on donating up to this point.
So, I’ve had another thought… I know that many of you are small business owners, bloggers, podcasters, aspiring filmmakers, musicians, artists etc. What if you could sponsor American Cliche for as little as $50 per episode? There are several ways we could approach it, but the bottom line is that your spot would be heard by as many as 40,000 listeners!
This is our best and only shot at taking control of our advertising situation and getting the show back on the air. If you’re interested, send an email to: theamericancliche AT gmail DOT com and we’ll get started.
Finally today, I want to express my thanks to one amazing listener that made a sizable donation to the show. She’s asked to remain anonymous, but I still wanted to acknowledge her generosity.
Happy Friday everyone – I hope you’re having a great week.
I wanted to post a quick note to let you know about my new blog that I’ve launched over at scottparent.me. Most of you probably won’t have much interest in it, but for those that are in the field of marketing you may find find it useful. I’ll be writing about social media, affiliate marketing, branding, customer retention, reputation management and a slew of other things related to digital marketing. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check it out.
Happy New Year to you all. Lots of you have been messaging me on Facebook and emailing asking when the show is coming back. I thought I’d take a minute and explain what’s going on.
This episode is the last planned show for 2010. It’s time get the holiday shopping done, finish up end-of-year work projects and get Emma ready to spend Christmas with my family back in New Hampshire. It’s been an interesting year and I’m looking forward to seeing what 2011 has in store for us all.
Happy Holidays to you all. I wish you peace and happiness in the coming days.
This week the world is in a frenzy over WikiLeaks. While I get that there is a lot of embarrassing shit being released about what foreign leaders have said about each other, I don’t see the big deal. Unless our blueprint for war has been published or the codes for our nuclear arsenal have been leaked – I just don’t get why this demands 24 hours news coverage across the globe. If you have a strong opinion, I’d love for you to chime in below.

This week I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Yes, I realize that it is an American holiday and that almost 40% of you listen from outside the U.S. That said, I invite you to share in the spirit. We all have things we are thankful for – even in difficult times. Over the next few days, try to focus on those positive things in your life. Cherish the time with your families and friends.
Thank you all for a being a part of my life – I’m certainly thankful for all of you.

I read about this incident the other day. It appears as though PBS edited Tina Fey’s acceptance speech for an award she’d received by removing only the political parts about Sarah Palin then claimed it had nothing to do with politics. Bullshit. I have no problem with any television network, especially one that’s public, wanting to stay out any appearance of political bias, but if that’s the case, just say so, don’t hide behind “time restrictions” as your excuse.
On another note of bad-assedness, is this a new theme or has Anderson Cooper always called out people and companies in such a succinct way? Nicely done.
Lots of great feedback this week from you guys about Episode #250. I didn’t know when I recorded the episode that so many of you would parallel it to the events in your own lives over the last five years. I got emails from people telling me about a milestone in their life that corresponded to something that I talked about on the show.
It’s amazing to me to think about the connection the show has had with so many of you from all over the world in ways I never thought possible. So thank you all for sharing your stories with me and keeping American Cliche as a part of the soundtrack to your lives.
