===Funding===
Funding for ''Free Talk Live'' comes from a combination of standard on-the-show advertising, and a donation-by-subscription service known as ''AMP'' (an acronym for ''Advertise, Market, and Promote''). An AMP subscriber, or ''AMPlifier'', donates a choice from pre-established amounts of money to the show every month. Any amount can be given with a minimum of five [[United States dollar|dollars]]. The show has also been known to accept [[Bitcoin]], [[Silver]], [[Gold]], and [[Liberty dollar (private currency)|Liberty Dollars]] in lieu of [[Federal Reserve Note]]s. The hosts indicate that all funds from the AMP program go to advertising and promoting the show, as well as contributing to the cost of production.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} Although the hosts earn income through advertising and merchandise sales,{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} all AMP proceeds are used to augment the listener base of the program by increasing the number of markets.{{Clarify|date=September 2010}}
