==Move to independent status==
On Friday 24 September 2010, Citizen Radio announced that they would be leaving the online radio station that had hosted them since the show's start (Breakthru Radio) to go independent starting the following Monday.
Citizen Radio followed the announcement by revealing a new membership model that rewards individuals and companies who provide financial support with community status, bonus content, and sponsorship messages during the podcast for the highest level of supporters. Though the show relied on memberships and donations, the regular episodes of the podcast remain free to download regardless of membership status. The stated intention of the membership model is to provide financial support for the continued existence of the podcast and spur expansion to more days and richer content.
==Video content==
As of August 9 2010, Citizen Radio's YouTube channel began hosting new content produced by Citizen Radio focusing primarily on guest previews for upcoming episodes of the radio show and providing viewers new content separate but thematically-linked to the radio show.
Content includes videos of live Citizen Radio shows, Kilstein on tour, sketches, extended interviews and guest previews. In 2012, Citizen Radio hired Kevin Allen Caby as a video producer. He creates short animated clips and pairs archival footage with particularly notable interviews featured on the show.
