Hey KC,

You may have already thought of this but...seeing the success that Doomsday Preppers has had since it first appeared on television I thought you might want to take a note from there handbook and look into advertising with Wise Foods and eFoods Direct. Your show is about survival so it would make sense for both of you to have a relationship.

You may also look into selling other survival gear:

Tents
Rocket Stoves
We're Alive: Survival Books
Rifles and Handguns

I'd also like to see products that are inspired by some of the characters:

Victor's Cologne
Burt's Customized Dessert Eagle "Shirley"
Saul's Military Back Pack
Scratch's Knife
Riley's Bow and Arrow Set
Angel's "The Family" Ring

I can't think of his name right now...but how about a crank radio for the old man that fixes the satellite phone?

I'm not KC and don't speak for him in anyway.

While I agree with you that all of the above would be awesome these things cost money and lots of it.
even the advertisments on this show cost a decent chunk of change. The biggest merch we have from this show is a book about Burt being written at the moment.

So unfortunatly I do not see these things happening for awhile. In the hopes that We're Alive got turned into a tv show or a video game, then probably.

So how do you increase chances of this happening:
-Listen to the show
-Buy a t-shirt!
-Buy the remastered discs
-Bug the shit out of your friends to listen (a good chunk if not the majority of We're Alive fans came from IGN's Greg Miller constantly telling people to listen on Podcast Beyond)
-Download the APP
-and if you know someone in the entertainment industry...bug them about it(...as long as there not from LOST)

Which brings me to another question for KC. Can anyone buy advertisement time on your show? I don't really have anything to sell but I'd love to get a "Shout Out" this next season. Something to think about.

We do offer ad space on the show. I don't have the link on my phone, but on the main site there's a spot to submit an advert. Right now in the off season we don't have any, but possibly in the future.
