Caustic Soda is a successful free weekly comedy podcast that focuses on the morbid, bizarre, and unpleasant - analyzing a new topic each week from angles such as science, history, news and pop culture. We are four years old and there's no end in sight, but as our popularity grows so do our expenses.

We have so far provided our content free of charge - helped occasionally by sponsors and the kind donations of fans - and we wish to continue doing so. With this fundraising campaign we hope to fend off the web hosting wolves, purchase and maintain our recording and editing equipment, and produce promotional materials to help attract new high caliber guests and hang on to our favourites from seasons past. We have always been a "hobby" podcast--a labour of love--but with a bit of extra scratch we hope to provide our researchers, guesperts and you, our listeners, with a few tokens of appreciation and improve everyone's quality of life!

What We Need & What You Get

Funds raised will go towards our basic expenses outlined above - microphones and mixing boards, web hosting expenses, and so forth. Heck if we get enough we may have to get some video equipment for streaming live shows - who knows?

We're also offering a lot of classy perks that will only be available as part of this Season Five fundraiser! These include Caustic Soda bottlecaps, stickers, T-shirts, toques, plus the opportunity to be a guest on the show and game with the hosts. Check the list on the right.

Stretch Goals

If we hit $10,000 we will make a Caustic Soda web series pilot!

If we hit $110,000 we will make a Caustic Soda feature film. FOR REALS!

The Impact

Season Five of Caustic Soda promises to have more of everything! More disasters, diseases, and dangerous derangement, more Lesser of Two Evils, more live shows, more Evil Dudes and Dames in History, more entries in the -Icide Guide, more Dr. Rob, Dr Jenna, Mr. Dr. Greg Bole, Fraser Cain, and all the other favourite guesperts too numerous to mention! We also hope to get more professional comedians, specialists, and personalities on the show. 

If there's any doubt in your mind that we can pull off Season Five, just check out the previous four seasons! We haven't missed a week's release since we started, and some of the feedback from our listeners include:

"Caustic Soda is the single best thing in my life... yes i have a kid... Caustic Soda's better." - Phoenix (Facebook)

"Production is professional and precise. Moves along nicely and mixes humour and science together in a perfectly fizzy ratio of refreshing entertainment" - sidswoorch (iTunes)

"Topics are discussed in an informative style that stays engaging, not boring the listener but instead drawing them to further levels of horrified illumination" - Krenn von S - (iTunes)

Other Ways You Can Help

Are you rich in spirit but poor in finances? Don't worry, you can still help. 

  • Use the Indiegogo share tools which I'm sure are somewhere on this page. 
  • Like us on Facebook.
  • Rate and review the podcast on iTunes. 
  • Put together a package of your favourite episodes and make your friends sit down and listen to all of them, preferably tied to a chair and with their eyes taped open (it's more hilarious because it's an audio podcast).
Every little bit helps!

Note - Special Conditions for Perk I - Game Night with the Hosts: We will make every effort to find a date that will work for everyone involved. We have set May 4 as a tentative, placeholder date. With the possibility that multiple donors from around the world on different schedules claim the perk, there is a small chance that it may be impossible to find a single date that everyone can commit to. It may result that we need to schedule multiple dates with different claimants, or that other unforeseen measures be taken. Please understand this before you commit to claim this perk. We do not provide any accommodation, transportation or hosting beyond a session of games that is likely to last 3-4 hours.

AND NOW, A SPECIAL THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM THE HOSTS!
