Should We Help Out Air America Radio?

1. I'm in Indianapolis and we do NOT get it here!
2. I just now, this moment, realized they now have live streaming. Did you know that?
3. I can't listen to it at work anyway, and I'm pretty busy most other times.
4. Honestly, I can't stand shrill talk-show hosts, even liberal ones, and sometimes I think Air America Radio is a bit shrill, but then again, I've listened so rarely lately that I don't know.
Having said all that, I don't want it to go off the air. I think it's an important counterweight to Limbaugh et al. I realize a Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesn't mean they are going off the air necessarily, but I worry a bit.
I just now looked at some of their shows that I didn't know about. Steve Earle has a Sunday night music show that looks like it might be good. I want to check that out. I need to give Air America Radio another chance, especially now that I can listen online.
Anyway, I'm considering donating some money to them. Maybe just buying one of their t-shirts. Anything.
But here's my question: could dailykos help? Maybe something to link dailykos to Air America somehow? Maybe someone wants to blog about what's happening on Air America? Anything to keep us interested and updated. You're all smart. How can we help out? Or do we just not care that much?
Maybe kos himself could chat with Franken..get some collaboration going. I'm serious. In fact, why not get someone like Bill in Portland, or kos himself, or others, to have a SHOW on Air America? The Dailykos Show. Why the heck not?
PS. I'm at work and have to get back into the lab...can't hang around much.
