Gusuuyoo ippee nifee deebiru !!  Thank you everyone for such a successful first year!  To keep this project going, we are launching an end of the year Kickstarter -- 100% of the proceeds will go back out into the community through paying our guests, musicians, and others involved in making the podcast programming possible.  We have set a very realistic goal of $300 since we are just starting out... This will be the start of our season since we've estimated the year's expenses to be around $1,170. (This figure factors in for 12 episodes, a modest honorarium for 4 guest speakers / musicians / collaborators per episode, website, and other hosting expenses.)

Visit our Kickstarter page here.

At the same time we will be running an Instagram Giveaway with donations from Shimanchu creatives, collaborators and community partners!  100% of the proceeds from this Kickstarter will go back out into the community through paying our guests, musicians, and others involved in making the podcast programming possible.
 

Q:  So... How do you participate?
A: Head to Instagram and:

• make sure you are following the @shimanchupodcast account

• tag a friend / friends in comments 

• and let us know what you love about the podcast!

Q: How long is the giveaway going?
A: We will be running the fundraiser through Tuesday, November 30.

We will announce winners on Wednesday, December 1 (time TBD).  

Q: Can I donate something to the giveaway?
A: Of course!
