There are very few podcasts, let alone comedy podcasts, that have made it to a decade of longevity and are still thriving after all this time.

One of those podcasts is Keith and the Girl with Keith Malley and Chemda Khalili and they’re coming up on the 10 year milestone with their show. It’s a big occasion and Keith and Chemda have something appropriately big in store to celebrate.

They are gearing up to go on tour across the U.S. as well as do a 30 hour comedy marathon featuring a plethora of great comedians. That all sounds great, but they’re doing a Kickstarter to raise enough money to pull all of their 10 year master plan off.

They’re looking to raise $15,000 by Dec. 19th and, as of this post, are at $6,216. Watch their video, read about the prizes, and donate to their Kickstarter here.

If we told you that there was a chance to see a short, potentially an entire series, following an evil mutant chicken who has a robot sidekick that wears a tie voiced respectively by Bobcat Goldthwait and Jonathan Katz that also includes the voices of Todd Barry and Maria Bamford, we’re sure you’d totally be into it.

Well, luckily such an incredibly thing exists in an animated short from animator Mike Salva, HG Chicken, that’s currently in post-production. You can help make sure that HG Chicken gets finished and can be shopped around as a series by donating to their Kickstarter campaign by Thurs. Nov. 20th, helping them to reach their $8,500 goal.

It’s a lofty goal to be sure, but this Kickstarter campaign video is pretty damn hysterical and worth a donation.

Though covering developments in the rap game might sound a little off-brand for us, the idea that a rapper would be willing to do a remix of his upcoming album with just cat sounds made us laugh pretty hard.

So, here’s us telling you about the amazing Kickstarter that’s raising money to make a remix of Run The Jewels 2, the to-be-released album from Run The Jewels (El-P and Killer Mike), with cat sounds.

Appropriately, it’ll be titled “The Meow The Jewels Package” and while they’re asking for a cool $45,100 on Kickstarter by the end of October, El-P has promised that, upon the money being raised, he’ll make the album and donate all the proceeds to charity.

Support charity and make perhaps one of the most awesome, fun rap albums ever.

Obvious Child Starring Jenny Slate Acquired by The Exchange & A24

We had a good feeling about Obvious Child directed by Gillian Robespierre that is faring quite well at Sundance when we saw the Kickstarter for finishing funds months ago.

If you have prerequisites for supporting a Kickstarter, we’d hope that a funny film getting accepted into sundance and a film starring Jenny Slate with Gaby Hoffman and Gabe Liedman would be good enough for you to donate.

Gillian Robespierre’s Obvious Child has indeed been accepted into Sundance and from this Kickstarter video looks like it definitely belongs there. As suggested above, Slate, Hoffman, and Liedman are all in it, so give it some money so it can finish and be a potential indie comedy hit in Park City, UT next year.
