True Blood Radio show: Your last chance to help us keep the 'Talk Blood' show going !!

Please let me know in the next few days if you are willing to help keep broadcasting "Talk Blood" - our 3 year old weekly True Blood talk show / podcast.
As many of you know—the use of Blogtalk Radio is no longer free and to do the talk show for this season of True Blood it  would now cost us approx $400.

For right now,  I just want to know if you’d toss in a few bucks ( $5-10), buy a raffle ticket for a prize giveaway ( $20.00) or if you would sponsor a show for $50. (You get advertising for your blog, business, book or anything you'd like to promote)

Here is just a little information about the show and the blog:
*Unlike many of the True Blood fan sites, I do not run this blog as part of my media business where I do promotion and fan sites for other shows.
*This blog and the radio show has always been a personal labor of love and they have always been PURELY fan based and fan centric. ( HBO Forum, TB Wiki and the TB Twitterverse)
*We are not only big fans of the HBO series True Blood but we are also huge fans of the Charlaine Harris and her Sookie books.

Are you thinking about sponsoring an episode ($50.00)? Do you wonder how many folks listen? I have never bragged, but I think our numbers are staggering! We have had between 250,000 (yes, that’s a quarter million) and 400,000+ (yes, that’s almost a half a million) listeners to the shows over the past 3 seasons. Impressive, huh ?

Just send me and email or post a comment below if you’d be willing to help keep the show going!

Thanks,  Dallas

Sookie grows up ..Anna grows up New York Times photos

"True Blood," the HBO horror fantasy starring Anna Paquin, returns on June 26 for its fourth season.
"While 'True Blood' has grown into an increasingly popular and crucial part of HBO’s line up," Dave Itzkoff writes, "its center has always been Ms. Paquin’s performance as Sookie, a beacon of curious, increasingly cynical humanity in a world of werewolves, witches and thousand-year-old beefcake."

Bloody Bloody Anna Paquin: An Interview With the ‘True Blood’ Star

When television viewers were introduced to Sookie Stackhouse, three years ago in real time but only a few weeks ago in the chronology of “True Blood,” she was a guileless Louisiana waitress with telepathic powers but without much knowledge of how the world worked, and – oh, right – she was a virgin.
How times have changed.
Over the first three seasons of “True Blood,” Sookie has grown into a take-charge heroine who can contend with shapeshifters, maenads, werewolves and – in Season 4 – witches, but no longer depends on her vampire paramour, Bill Compton, or his fanged rival, Eric Northman. During that time, Anna Paquin, the 28-year-old actress who plays Sookie, has evolved, too, into an increasingly central figure on this increasingly popular, explicit-in-all-kinds-of-ways HBO series, who has comfortably outgrown her former status as a precocious phenomenon (and is now married to co-star Stephen Moyer, who plays vampire Bill).

True Blood Cast Releases Important Message About 'True Blood' Withdrawal

Ha- excellent !

True Blood Season 4: Will Dallas do a "Talk Blood " radio show this year ? #trueblood

Do you long to hear ? "Good evening from Dallas, Texas- located in Area 6 in the Kingdom of Texas and welcome to Talk Blood"

Wow --here we go we are just 2 weeks from the return of True Blood.

One big question is looming …Will ‘ Talk Blood’ my True Blood radio show/ podcast return for Season 4 ?

First let me say thanks to everyone who has emailed and asked about the show’s return , it’s so nice to know how many folks love the show/podcast/ guests and chat room.

The bad news is that Blogtalk radio is no longer free – it actually now would cost about $100 a month to broadcast the show live on Sunday nights following each True Blood episode. The Blogtalk costs for the season would run about $400 and I am just not willing to do all the work it takes to run the show and personally shoulder the $400 costs.

We have a number of different ways ( or combination of ways) to raise the money. We can just raise the money through donations, I can take and read ads during the show from show sponsors and we could raise money through a raffle for True Blood / Sookie prizes.

For right now,  I would just like to hear from you if you are willing to buy a raffle ticket for prizes ($20), if you would like to be a show sponsor ($50- for ads) or if you would just be willing to throw in a few bucks toward keeping the show going.

Let me know what you think ????

Depending on the response I’ll make a decision and we’ll get busy raising the money needed.

Thanks, Dallas
