Hi.  I'm Ira Glass and you're listening to This American Life.  No, not really, but there is now only one degree of separation between us, and it is Audible.com.

Companies have wildly-varying criteria for accepting affiliates.  Amazon, for example, didn't even want to know what kind of website we had;  they wanted us, and it was mutual.  I can't help it - I love Amazon.   Camping World looked us over and gave us a pass.  Fine, Camping World, because we bought our Travasak from someone else.  Hurts, doesn't it?

So, when I applied to Audible.com, I braced myself for rejection.  After all, this is the company whose name is uttered by Ira Glass himself.  I was reaching for the Glass ring.  A week went by without word, and I knew.  I've lived through worse than this.  Then, we were accepted. 


I don't think corporate sponsorship can be far behind.  C'mon, Geritol.  It's time to step up.
