Topic: Sand Hill Road

The hosts defend their "value for value" funding model, explaining that listener donations allow them to remain independent of corporate influence. They recount an encounter with venture capitalist John Doerr on Sand Hill Road and discuss the show's growing reach among advertising professionals and airline staff. The goal of the show is presented as deconstructing news in a way mainstream outlets refuse to do.

The hosts appeal for listener support to maintain the show's independence from corporate investors and advertisers. They contrast their model with PBS's reliance on corporate "promotional considerations." Listeners are encouraged to donate five dollars a year to ensure the program can continue its "media assassination" and deconstruction of mainstream news.
