If you’re reading this, thank you so very, very much for visiting the site and listening to 太平洋たいへいよう横断おうだん放送ほうそう　(Taiheiyou-oudan Housou - Trans-Pacific Radio’s official name). A mere few months ago, 政治せいじ斬ぎり (Seijigiri) was just the bud of a figment of a daydream, now it’s well on its way to being a regular podcast with a regular and growing listenership. TPR also has other podcasts, such as その他た　(Sonota) in the works. We couldn’t have, and wouldn’t be doing, any of this without you.

Some of you have even been so kind as to ask how you could help. There are a few free and easy things you can do:

1. Tell everyone you know. Evangelize for TPR. Reference it in conversation, tell people you’ve been listening. Word of mouth really helps.

2. Link to us from your blog or website. If you’re so inclined, mention us in your posts.

3. Vote for us on podcast ranking sites. This increases TPR’s visibility and can help us attract new listeners.

We are listed on the following sites, all of which accept votes and/or ratings and allow users to vote once a month. Voting for us and giving us the highest possible rating every month helps.

From the top page of the site, search for “Seijigiri,” then click on “Podcast Details,” then vote.
