Your Kickstarter Sucks
Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale
Mike Hale and Jesse Farrar comb through the crowdfunding dumpster to tell you what projects are worth supporting with your hard-earned dollar. So far, it's been absolutely nothing, but whether it's a social media website for dogs, a toilet brush that reminds you to drink more water, or 5,000 offensive card games, maybe something will eventually be good!

Episode 102: Family Does Matter
I'm on vacation so I don't really want to write a long thing. On this episode of YKS, Mike and JF go on some riffs, and most of em hit. Then they get into the 6 pack, and some of the Kickstarter projects on there you would not believe. I think there's a t-shirt guy. This goes on for some time, and then they read an email. And that is the show! For more of the classic stuff you love, check out patreon.com/yourkickstartersucks. Many people are cashing out their 401ks to join. Not necessary, but much appreciated.
