1. How old are you and what state do you live in?

I am 44 years old and I have live in South Australia for the past 19 years.  I originally lived in MA but have also lived in VA, GA and HI

2. When did you become a member of TYT?

December of 2012

3. How do you consume the show?

Mostly by downloading the show from the archive when I get home from work.

4. What field do you work in?

I’m in Information Technology.  I design and write software.

5. How would you describe TYT in 5 words or less?

Informative and entertaining.

6. Do you have a favorite TYT moment?

Do the Game of Thrones coverage count?

7. Who is your favorite co-host? Why?

Besides Anna?  Cara.  Who doesn’t like smart, articulate and gorgeous women?  Take away those 2 and Ben Mankiewicz and Johnny I are tied for their truthful and rational commentary.  OK, don’t make me choose! All of them!

8. What motivated you to take the extra step of becoming a paying member?

I value TYT as a product.  The effort which is put forward.  I want to support that.

9. Are you surprised that the The Young Turks has grown into a multiplatform network of multiple channels?

No.  It makes logical sense to me and the content is good.  I’m glad that getting that content is starting to become easier.  I’m waiting for the day where I can download any of the shows produced by TYT instead of the more difficult process I do now.

10. Cenk often talks about the TYT brand as “truth telling.” What does this mean to you as a member?

I think it goes well beyond hearing a side to stories that resonate with how I see the world.  I think it also includes hearing things that challenge my views.  I think it includes hearing when we get it wrong.

11. Which TYT host would you get coffee with? Which one would you go to the bar with? Who would you have dinner with?

Don’t drink Coffee but John for coffee, Anna for the bar and dinner with Cenk.

12. If you were a co-host on the show, which story would you cover? Why?

Having served 6 years in the USMC I think it would be about how the military these days isn’t used to protect the freedom of the American citizen or the lives of people in need but almost solely to protect interests of corporations and the top .1%

13. Have you ever communicated with other TYT fans? If so, how?

Before it was via the forums.  Now that is gone I do not so much beyond Twitter.

14. Has the show convinced you to change your position on a particular issue?

Yes, I believe that it was Ben that convinced me that the sexual offender registries were bad even for convicted child molesters. If they’ve been rehabilitated then it serves no purpose.  If they have not been then they should not have been released.

15. Have you ever referred membership to anyone? If so, what did you say?

I constantly tell people that TYT pitches the best progressive news show I’ve seen.
