They then transition to a roll call of their own "executive producers" from Australia, North Carolina, and Texas. The segment highlights the importance of monthly subscriptions and the "value for value" model in maintaining the show's independence.

They suggest that tech publications avoid critical analysis of cloud security because these companies are major advertisers. A "theater of the mind" segment illustrates how advertisers can exert pressure on media outlets to silence dissent.

They argue that significant PR spending effectively buys media silence. The current lack of news is attributed to PR departments being closed for the holidays, leading to a reliance on "best of" retrospectives and celebrity clickbait.

They also discuss Carbonite's acquisition of Fanfare and the subsequent cancellation of lifetime backup deals, using it as an example of why the traditional advertising model compromises media integrity.

They highlight commercials for Cedars-Sinai, Carbonite, and LifeLock appearing on the public radio network. This is contrasted with the No Agenda model of direct listener support without corporate influence.
