Kinda Funny’s 2020 Plan

For five years, you’ve helped make the dream that is Kinda Funny a reality. You’ve taken a us from a spare bedroom to a state of the art studio to E3 to meet and greets and so many other amazing places.

All we do is talk about the things we love, and you find a place for us in your hearts for one reason: you believe in the power of Best Friends.

We can’t thank you enough for that, and we have no plans on slowing down in 2020. This year is about to be the biggest in Kinda Funny’s history, and we want you along for the ride. In 2019, we talked about preparing for the future of the company, and now, the future is here.

What’s that mean? Well, we’ve hired Blessing Adeoye Jr. as our new full time host, we’ve got a bunch of new shows, and we’re building out a brand new studio that’s five times larger than our current space. You’ll see the studio when Kinda Funny Live Presents: The Studio Launch Party!

We’re making the best content of our careers, and we can’t do it without you. Thank you for supporting us on Patreon.

We have a ton of cool incentives to encourage you to support us this month on Patreon, but before that, let’s explain what makes our core content worth the dollar in 2020…

THE 2020 SHOW LINE-UP

Kinda Funny Games Daily: The world’s most popular daily gaming podcast runs through the biggest news of the day live on twitch.tv/KindaFunnyGames every weekday at 10AM Pacific. Later on YouTube and podcast services. Support us on Patreon to get your questions on the show as well as getting the show ad-free with the exclusive daily post-show!

Kinda Funny Gamescast: We heard your feedback and going forward, every Gamescast is going to be covering the one big gaming topic of the week that you’ll know ahead of time so that you can do your homework. That means more full reviews that hit embargo, spoilercasts, predictions, and debates and less early impressions of games. Look for the show to hit Thursdays with Blessing Adeoye Jr. joining Tim, Greg, and the rotating Fran/Imran chair, but know that the date will move so we can hit preview and review embargoes. Support on Patreon to get the show ad-free, the exclusive post-show, your questions on the show, and the ability to watch live (depending on embargoes).

PS I Love You XOXO: It’s back! When Blessing came through for We Have Cool Friends, he said his dream Kinda Funny project would be the return of PS I Love You XOXO. So, each and every Tuesday, strap in for the PlayStation show from one of the guys who founded Podcast Beyond and one of the guys who started podcasting because of Podcast Beyond. Youtube.com/kindafunnygames and podcast services. Support us on Patreon to get your questions on the show along with every ad-free episode and exclusive post-show.

Kinda Funny Streams: You wanted more gameplay, so you’re getting more gameplay. Whether it is a quick look at the hottest game that week, a full playthrough of an entire game over multiple parts, or a classic Party Mode group stream, once a week we will be live on Twitch.tv/kindafunnygames playing games with you, and of course, it’ll be uploaded later on YouTube.com/kindafunnygames and podcast services when applicable. Support us on Patreon to get the show ad-free.

The Kinda Funny Podcast: Every Friday four best friends get together to talk about their lives, adventures, and pretty much any topic under the sun. We have heard you and this show is focused on the Kinda Funny crew. Hosted by Greg Miller, Tim Gettys, Nick Scarpino, and Andy Cortez. Support on Patreon to get the show ad-free, the exclusive post-show, your questions on the show, and the ability to watch live.

Internet Explorerz: Live every Monday at 11AM Pacific on twitch.tv/kindafunnygames Tim and Nick do what they were put on this planet to do: Watch Fun Clipz, talk to the chat, and explore the deepest darkest corners of the internet. There might also be housekeeping. Later on YouTube and podcast services. Support us on Patreon to get your content on the show as well as getting the show ad-free. (Heads up: This is one of our “irregularly scheduled programs.” This means when we need to do a trailer reaction or double up on In Review, this might take a week off.)

Kinda Funny In Review: The fan favorite show returns live 11AM every Tuesday on twitch.tv/kindafunnygames. Later on YouTube and podcast services. The first few months will see James Bond, Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Christopher Nolan, and Bad Boys get the In Review treatment. Plus, lots of weeks will see two episodes as we build to big releases.

We Have Cool Friends: Live Thursday at 11AM Pacific on twitch.tv/kindafunnygames, Kinda Funny sits down with one of its cool friends to talk about all the cool stuff their up to.

Support us on Patreon to get your questions on the show as well as getting the show ad-free. (Heads up: This is one of our “irregularly scheduled programs.” This means when we need to do a trailer reaction or double up on In Review, this might take a week off.)

2019 FUNDRAISING GOALS
Just because the future is here doesn’t mean we’ve crossed the finish line. Kinda Funny is an ongoing product we hope you love. We just hired Blessing, got a studio, and put a whole bunch of stuff on our annual fundraising thermometer.

Anyone who pledges for the first time or increases their pledge on Patreon in January 2020 will get their name written on a wall inside the new Kinda Funny Studio.
