My name is Jim and I'm the co-host of the Bald Move Game of Thrones Podcast. After covering TV and movies for 7 years, our podcast hit #1 on the iTunes charts.
Riding on an overwhelming swell of gratitude, I decided to do something to celebrate Game of Thrones and the amazing community that has sprung up around it by raising money for the podcasters who help make that community what it is as well as a charity that defends the rights and equality of everyone.
To that end, I've gathered 10 of the top Game of Thrones podcasts together to produce a special episode of their show exclusively for this project. Introducing the Game of Thrones Charity PodPack!
The Perks:
When you purchase any MiniPack or PodPack, you're getting access to episodes produced exclusively for this project! They have not been released anywhere else.
In addition, all episodes feature a unique and interesting concept or discussion, making them slightly different from the typical episode, though each is still Game of Thrones themed. Hear something completely different from your favorite show with a MiniPack or check out the creativity of some unfamiliar hosts with the Full PodPack!

Each week hosts Caleb Masters, Daniel Stull, and Austin Lucari are joined by fellow fans and critics to have an in-depth discussion and analysis on the newest White Walker invasion, dragon attack, and incestuous backstabbing.

Pod of Thrones
Jeff & Jennifer love Game of Thrones... maybe a little too much. With two different recaps of the series-so-far (long or bite-sized) and their own on-staff Loremaster (Kevin), they take a weekly dive into the show, the headlines, the books, the games, and all manner of wild speculation. Also, Westworld is a new show worthy of discussion during the oh-so-long GoT offseason!
A STORM OF SPOILERS

Game of Drones
The Game of Thrones Podcast to Help You Sleep | Game of Drones is a GoT podcast that's part bedtime story and part high school class you can't stay awake for. Don't watch "Game of Thrones", don't worry this will put you to sleep anyway. Can "Game of Thrones" help you fall asleep? Tonight it will, as I analyze episodes using progressive boredom to lull you off to dreamland.
TheVerdictsIn - Game of Thrones Podcast
Each week Nicole and Gary will do a review and discussion on the current Game of Thrones episodes. We will also take listener letters and discuss what we liked or didn't like about each episode.
Full PodPack
The Full PodPack gets you all 10 of the podcasts contained in the individual MiniPacks.
You'll be given the URL for a single, convenient RSS feed containing all 10 episodes, as well as a link to download the files directly. You can also choose to pay more than the minimum for the PodPack by selecting either the $25, $50 or $100 booster perk.
Where the money goes:
The goal of this project is to raise money for charity and a select group of Game of Thrones podcasts . The more money we get, the more good we can do!
Charity Portion: The bulk of the proceeds (50%) will be donated to the ACLU Foundation to support their work in areas such as free speech, privacy, racial justice, women's / disability / voting rights, etc.
Podcaster Portion: A smaller portion (30%) will be distributed among the participating podcasters as a way of saying thank you for all the time, effort, and sacrifices they have made to entertain us over the years. To insure each podcaster gets something, the proceeds are put into a single pool regardless of whether you purchase a MiniPack of the full PodPack.
Remaining Portion: The remaining proceeds will be split between Indiegogo (5%), Stripe (the payment processor - 5%) and Bald Move (10%) to cover the costs of organizing the project, hosting / delivering the files, and supporting the backers. Bald Move will not be taking a cut of the Podcaster Portion.
