*** Bob’s Insider’s Message ***

Now that the new year is in full swing, time to get back to business. I am preparing to go to Russia for a few weeks, but don’t worry, WOL will keep going just as before. They have computers over there. Lord willing and the Vodka don’t pour, we’ll keep ticking like nothing has changed at all.
Another thing they have in Russia is academic freedom. There is a much wider range of discussion allowed there, compared to the great universities of the so-called “free world.” It should make for interesting material for my upcoming radio interviews.

Yes, the next step in promoting Why Johnny Can’t Think is to begin working on radio interviews in earnest. My team is adding a member to concentrate on this. It will take a lot of phone calls and following up, but it is the key to getting the book out to people who need it. We have always seen a big jump in sales from the few interviews I’ve done.

When I say big jump in sales, I don’t mean that we are making a lot of money, because we aren’t. We are losing money, in spite of the hours of volunteer effort on the part of my team. But we aren’t losing much, and we have gotten over 2000 books out into circulation, so we are making progress.

We need your help. If you listen to or know of a local radio talk program that takes guests, then please let us know. We’ve set up a simple, anonymous form for you to take a minute to fill out. If you are willing to go so far as to actually contact the station and suggest they interview me, that is even better.

Tell us what you know about the program. They can concentrate on politics, or education, or whatever. We just need a chance to get out there.

I will be calling in from Russia, on my nickel, so that will be a point of interest all on its own. But we need your help. Please take the time to give us this information.
