The O&A Army put together $1,000 in 3 days to buy out billboard ad space on Florida's All American Boulevard in the Orlando / Maitland area. I know some people here are O&A fans (can you tell?) and other Orbitcast readers can't stand them (or the fanspests) but you have to give props for putting together this stunt. Supposedly it was done without the knowledge of XM or Opie and Anthony.

Even better is the use of a free press release service to get the word out about it. Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Here's a little bugfeature that I think many of you pests would find interesting. A 12 month subscription to Opie & Anthony on Audible.com runs $69.95 - but if you add to cart and go through the whole purchase process - you get credited $60 dollars just before finalizing the purchase.

Total cost? $9.95
I've personally tested this out, and yes, it works.

Not really sure why it's happening, and if it's a bug then I'm sure they'll be aware of it after this post - but 83 cents a month is hard to argue (especially for the cheap-asses who are still stealing the show).

Thanks Greg!

UPDATE: Looks like they've fixed it now. Hopefully some of you snuck in while you could. :(

Looks like Audible.com has now started offering XM programming, part of the XM/Audible deal announced back in June. You can get full-length episodes of both the Bob Edwards Show and Opie and Anthony, albeit a somewhat limited selection (so far there’s only 6 O&A episodes dating back to July 26 and 26 BES episodes from throughout the year, mostly from the summer).

Each episode costs $2.95/each, or you can also subscribe to each show (1-month at $12.95 per show and a 1-year subscription at $69.95 per show). This is just the first part of a happy Audible/XM relationship, with the AudibleReady/XM handhelds expected in 2006, subscribers will be able to purchase audiobooks and Podcasts from Audible and listen to it seamlessly next to Satellite Radio content. Good stuff.

Thanks Vyse!
