TYT December Membership Drive (Free Gifts!)

posted by Tom Hanc

Tube socks? Re-gifted Christmas sweaters? Ramen Noodles? These are just a few of the horrible gifts you may have received (or given) during a past holiday season. 2009 will be different when you get yourself or someone you care about the awesome and unique gift of The Young Turks (Voted Best Political Podcast & News Site Of 2009). Because in addition to unlimited access to hours of video/audio content on politics, entertainment, sports and pop culture, you’ll get something extra in return (shipped to you at no cost), including cool TYT apparel, books and even Apple iProducts*!

OH SNAP!!! (none / 0)
I think I just figured out what to get those last couple of people left on my list!

Last couple of people? (none / 0)
I need to get started on those first couple of people! But seriously, this podcast is perfect for those who want a daily dose of news, politics and entertainment while they commute, exercise or clean (etc.). When I took the train to work it was the only thing I looked forward to, and now I listen to it in the car with a wireless transmitter which is a great change of pace from music/the mediocre stuff on the radio (plus no commercials is always nice).

Free gifts or Oh i see how it is. :P (none / 0)
I gotta admit free stuff is always cool, but i see how it is. I finually pony up the money for a membership in November only to miss out on the goodies :P I knew i should have waited lol.

No seriously though Anyone looking for testimonials need only look here. I joined in November watched every day and never regreted it. As a person who likes to hear both sides of a debate before making up my own mind, this show offers clear opinions that matter in the days stories big and small giving the veiwer/listener the other side of the stories that people like rush, beck and others on the right do not offer. It's nice to have a counter voice to the debates that will affect us all in one form or another. If you are still on the fence get it and you will see Left right middle this show will meet your needs and surpass them.

Thank you TYT for your dedication and hard work, keep it up.

Few questions (none / 0)

A great gift.... (none / 0)

Yummy...and it's sell by date is 2019!when you consider the alternatives. 

Are there gift memberships? Something like 3 months or something. If not they should consider creating one. Probably sell a lot more and they use it as a hook for a year add on later.

I couldn't agree more (none / 0)
I've suggested this in the past but apparently it's a logistical nightmare, or something like that...

No,I dont think so... (none / 0)

With due respect, logistical nightmare = I don't want to be bothered.

Unless the are useing 10 key adding machines , green eyeshades and carbon paper in the business office, that excuse doesn't cut it in the data age

I received a gift membership--Thanks alfreeland (none / 0)

I just want to give a big shout out and a big "Thanks" to alfreeland. I received a gift membership from this member and I am very grateful.

I've been unemployed since January, it's been a pretty rough 2009 for me, but I'm hanging in there.

I'm not a very sentimental person and for myself the holiday season is very annoying and has become a tremendous inconvenience through the years.

As corny as it may sound, I have received a bit of optimism from alfreeland's act of giving. I've never received a gesture like this from a total stranger before,this is somewhat of a new experience for me and a very pleasing moment.

I like it.

For alfreeland's act of kindness, I say thank you once again and lets all hope for better days in 2010.. we could all use it.

Bart
