So let's say that today is about Kickstarters. Even though it rarely is, of course. And as you can see by the prodigious runtime of this episode, it had very little chance to be the exception proving the rule. But what if it were? Well you'd probably hear about a celebrity's crazy vanity project, a guy's crazy book, and some crazy fake science. And there would be 4-5 of us going crazy thinking and talking about those things.

Later on, we discuss Yancy's background as a music critic, his early online record label and his unconventional path to becoming a co-founder of Kickstarter. We breakdown the incentives of platforms to forecast what comes next. At the end of this episode, we discuss a new project called A-Corps. A-Corps are a lightweight co-operative model for creatives. (TLDR: your band can be an artist co-op.) It's not software — it's law. We get into the hard numbers around this and share some war stories about creative life without health insurance. www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella joshuacitarella.substack.com/subscribe

    I love samurai, the code, the fashion, I mean, who doesn't so when I saw that comics writer/artist Ibrahim Moustafa was working on a samurai centric project, I immediately reached out to chat about it. After getting a look at the actual pages, it should come as no surprise that as an adept at blending genre, he's knocking it out of the park again with his forthcoming East meets West Humanoids project Halfblood funding soon on Kickstarter. I get annoyed sometimes at the panel economization of fight choreography in comics as a daily martial arts practitioner, but was pleasantly surprised with how meticulously this was researched and executed . We chat about that, vampires, the white savior trope, and sculpting figurines which if you haven't checked out his YouTube channel, consider giving it a follow if sculpting or just collecting them is your thing.

    On this week's episode, Nathan, Chris, and Riley discuss Hollow Knight: Silksong, a game that is finally, actually, really real after years of anticipation (and Geoff Keighley showcase disappointments). It looks like… more Hollow Knight. Cool! Also, the developers have said they will not be sending out pre-release review code, citing concern that it would be “unfair” to Kickstarter backers and regular players. But perhaps that approach is better for interesting writing about the game – and games in general – in the long run? We're left with another question, as well: Now that Silksong is just around the corner, what games remain in the Painfully Long-Awaited Pantheon? What will be the next Silksong? Then we talk about other cool games that have received a Gamescom spotlight: Ninja Gaiden 4, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2, Resident Evil Requiem, and of course, Denshattack, which looks way better than all those other games. Lastly, we discuss the impact of Trump's tariffs on video games – for the first time in maybe ever, console prices are going up toward the end of a generation, not down – and how they represent a stealth tax on GTA VI (which will probably be very expensive in its own right). Oh, and Chris decides to just make his own PlayStation 5, until he realizes that it'd probably land him in jail.

Today, BackerKit has evolved into a full-stack crowdfunding platform—supporting from the first dollar raised to the last package shipped, and beyond.They've powered major campaigns—including a $23M+ launch with author Brandon Sanderson, and their annual platform revenues exceed $20M. Now, with BackerKit Collab Funding, they're building multi-creator event-style campaigns that drive bigger engagement, discoverability, and long-term fan relationships.

The company was founded by an ex-Google engineer, Stephen Yang. Anker's success is attributed to some innovative marketing strategies, including using Kickstarter campaigns to pre-launch their products. They've also hired top-level talent quite early on for their business growth. Anker has avoided black hat tactics that plague the top of the top especially.  Anchor has diversified into a completely different direction while also still being somewhat related.

    Our hosts return to the podcave and CHILL OUT to the episode, Deep Freeze. Alex and Will review this episode in detail, discussing the many parallels and inspirations for Grant Walker, including Walt Disney and James Bond. Plus, this episode marks the first time that Nora Fries is shown to be alive and in cryostasis -- creating a weakness for Mr. Freeze and a key element in his backstory. Our hosts also take note of Rossum's new robot obsession, create an alter ego for Alfred, say goodbye to the Batboat, and come up with some new material for Mr. Freeze's tight five. This episode is pretty COOL, you should check it out!

    Burnout shouldn't be the price of success, but setting boundaries at work is easier said than done. Tarveen Forrester, who oversees workplace culture at Kickstarter, shares practical strategies for protecting your time and cultivating “sustainable ambition,” so you can crush your goals — without letting them crush you. After the talk, Modupe urges you to come up with a library of your own "tried and true" phrases that you can use when you're feeling stretched.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?
