TCIBR: podcast – KICKSTARTER
In this edition of TCIBR we sit down with Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler.

From software projects like Arin Crumley’s OpenIndie to Mike Ambs’ For Thousand Miles, Kickstarter has an interesting mix of projects in search of patrons. Within a short period of time Kickstarter has generated quite a bit of buzz while also assisting a variety of projects to reach their funding goals.

Really awesome interview – I’m a pretty big fan of the team at Kickstarter. They are building a very special site.

Many thanks Lance and Yancey for shedding light on what I consider to be a great website.
