      Hi Melissa - love the concept and the episodes so far!
      I support projects that enrich our culture by giving back through creative commons or similar licenses.

      Since your work derives from the words of craigslist posters, will you be willing to give others a crack at making derivative works from your stuff? You could use a license that encourages others to reuse and remix your work to make even more cool stuff.
      Whaddya say?
