Seriously, I didn't read very far down. You are being way too appreciative. It's kind of adorable, and it's going to make me forget my question. Yep. I forgot it. Sorry. Wait a minute. Um...oh crap. Um...Are you just sitting around in a blanket with a giant mug of tea dictating responses while getting over this terrible flu?

Tom, I get the feeling that this show is in some ways your center, your peace, and you do it because you must. Is there some truth to this?

As a side note, I want to thank you for being so candid and open during such a rough stretch in the early stages of the return of the Best Show. As avid listeners and longtime fans, I'm sure a lot of people take ownership of their place in Newbridge the same way all the old folks like to think they have a Summer home in Lake Weebogon, but I owe so much gratitude to you, the work that you do off-air and on, for breaking the 4th wall and speaking from the heart as Tom, Friend of Audience. I am sorry for your losses, encouraged by your triumphs, and impressed with your ability to remain unabashedly Tom. It's memorable glimpses of your fondness for your father, among other things, that gave us renewed attachment for a true labor of love. All the Best, my friend.

Hey guys. Happy that you're taking the time.

A lot of what we hear on the radio is your struggle as Tom the host to keep this little fledgling CB radio program on-air. Can you talk a little about the DIY aesthetic and the time that you put into getting the studio up and running, and what really makes a tangible difference to helping out the cause?

I can't always use Squarespace for my nonexistent business, and short of filling out surveymonkeys, buying your books off of twitter and downloads, is there anything else we can do to assist, promote, and help?

Let's talk about your music. You're writing, producing, and I assume performing music in and around New York, yeah? What defines your personal style of performance, and do you have a musical crew that you run with (perform regularly?)

For a small, ill-bathed and pasty skinned handful of us, I can't tell you how much it means to us to have something real that we can collectively celebrate over the internet or at the water cooler at work the next day. At the heart of it, you've got a product that is uniquely entwined with your being, and no appreciation could be too great. Just keep steamrolling. We'll keep listening and sharing, and know in the back of your mind that you've got our ear, our support, and our "friendship". That's what Friends of Tom are For.
