Hello from Lexy!

We've got some really exciting new stuff to share with you! Our fifth release is live, and we want to hear with you think. As always, visit www.lexy.com to check out what's new.

WE'RE PARTNERS WITH "THE ONION"!
Lexy is now the official mobile distribution partner for all things audio on www.theonion.com, web home of the satirical and often irreverent award-winning news source. Woohoo! Now it's incontrovertible: The best way to enjoy the Onion Radio News is via Lexy.

Lexy's subscription button is live on http://www.theonion.com/content/radionews as of today. And stay tuned to see other Lexy fun -- including promotions and contests -- on the site as well.

GEORGE CARLIN, CELEBRATED AND REMEMBERED: A SPECIAL EDITION QUIKCAST
Celebrate the late Grammy-winning stand-up comedian, actor and author by subscribing to "George Carlin, Celebrated and Remembered" on Lexy. In honor of his famous riff on The 10 Commandments, we're offering a special edition, 10-episode-long Quikcast of his greatest comedic moments. Big fun, now #9 -- and rising -- on the Lexy Top 10 list . Subscribe here.

SUBSCRIBE OR UNSUBSCRIBE BY PRESSING 8
Pressing 8 while listening to your Lexy playlist on the phone always has been a simple way to unsubscribe to a no-longer-wanted Quikcast. Now, pressing that same 8 key enables you to add a new Quikcast to your playlist. Hear a share or recommendation you like a lot? Just press 8 to subscribe.

IMPROVED PHONE-TO-PHONE SHARING: JUST SAY A NAME FROM YOUR PHONEBOOK
Got people in your Lexy phone book? Now, when you want to share with them, just say their name. Say "share with 'Mom'" and Lexy'll know where to send your share. It's easy and a great reason for you to add to your phonebook (Find the phonebook link in the upper right-hand corner of any lexy.com category page)!
