Yeah, my intent is to be the trailblazer on this. I think we'll be big in our niche, maybe it'll be a reason to branch out to talking about other things besides Crypto but I think it might be better to stay small and valuable.
I am not a programmer but more of a writer, editor, marketer, thinker, organizer with a fair amount of experience writing articles and essays, writing copy for sales and marketing purposes, advertising/sponsorship sales, investor relations, entrepreneurship, etc.
Not sure if you've noticed, but my focus is content - I am a great evangelist but I hate selling and I'm an awful closer because I'm too empathetic. Let's Talk Bitcoin! needs evangelists who can be the first buyers of sponsorships for LTB shows. We're going to be selling monthly sponsorships as decentralized, tradable tokens also built on CounterParty. People will use LTBcoin to bid for the Sponsorships, at first they'll be sold monthly but it might eventually become weekly.
The sponsor auction will take place on the Counterparty Decentralized Exchange - At first, few of our interested sponsors are going to jump through those hoops and there won't be much competition. We need autonomous evangelist/sales to buy sponsorships through this process at the cheapest price they can get them (in LTBcoin), and then sell the sponsorships on to would-be-advertisers (for profit, in Bitcoin or whatever) who comply with our network standards, and then facilitate the execution of their sponsorship through our system. Also it should be noted listeners can be sponsors so long as their messaging complies with our standards.
With regards to new user content, I agree and I'm going to be setting aside some specific portions of the Content allocation to go towards shows targeting extreme new users. We'll probably have two. We also are going to be adding some less libertarian content, the network is a little heavily weighted right now.
Does that make sense?
Edit:On another note, this project NEEDs people besides me driving it. I get TOTALLY bogged down in details and get analysis paralysis, also I have a real fear of success so I slow down as I get close to launch. I have been feeling this resistance on finishing the few fundamental papers on this. Going to give it another try tomorrow.
Organization is a primary failing of mine, you can tell from the collaboration thread I am looking for other models because I want to take myself out of this role as quickly as possible but we need a way to organize and focus effort forward and overcome the hurdles that inevitably will come.

So there are lots of ways you could get involved, and this is a good time to do it. What type of thing do you want to focus on? We need everything.
