Customer Reviews
I wish more podcasts had this kind of value per minute.
I came across this recently and wish I had sooner. I've been binge listening since, trying to soak up the information and insight presented. Concise and to the point episodes give practical information to take notes on without weeding through hours of content.
Awesome Content
Funding the Dream has fantastic content for Kickstarter creators and gamers. While the focus is boardgames it is very useful for role-playing games and general Kickstarter and crowdfunding principles. When I first started listening to the podcast years ago it helped me understand the basic concept of crowdfunding. Today I've got a solid understanding of crowd funding and the podcast still delivers useful insights into crowdfunding, crowdbuilding, Kickstarter, and the board game industry in general. Keep up the great work Richard!
Great Kickstarter Podcast
Richard brings fantastic insight to all things Kickstarter. If you are at all interested in the industry, this is a must listen.
