Dear Radio and TV Shows/Stations:

Hey there, Morning Drive Guys and Gals! Feel like you're stuck in the same old morning drive humor rut? And you Television segment producers, you're thinking those self-help experts could use some help themselves and couldn't care less about what Oprah's reading, right? Latch onto "The Duct Tape Guys". These radio and stage veterans are willing to give you a ton of free, original (and clean) humor material to fill your shows just for mentioning their books. And, Tim (the Duct Tape Guy) offers the same quick creative wit and motor-mouth delivery during interviews featuring his other humor books. (Spring 2005: "The Practical Joker's Handbook")

At Octane, we know media, we know what entertains, so we've gone out of our way to create interviewable "authors" and other characters that your audience will love.

E-mail Tim to arrange for an interview. You won't be disappointed. And, if you would please, pass on a recommendation to your friends in other markets.
