Milestone Goals
Let's make the studio more professional!
I could keep creating content with a webcam and a chair in a boring room...but I'd like to shift toward better cameras, lighting, backdrops and some editing software. It's time to go pro! If you enjoy the simplicity of just staring at me, without slick graphics, there will still be plenty of that, too!
Giving Back! - I'll make an immediate donation to the Secular Student Alliance, after reaching this goal.

Debate commentary series!
In addition to the primary video series, I'd like to produce a series of videos that dissects debates (starting with my own), adding my thoughts about what I thought went well and what didn't - and identifying mistakes made by all parties. We'll all be able to learn from my mistakes and wind up better debaters.

Interviews!
There are a lot of great minds in our movement and I'd like to learn from them and I'm hoping that others will, as well. Some of the best discussions that I've had with other activists in the atheist and skeptic movements went unrecorded - let's change that!
Giving Back! - I'll make an immediate donation to Recovering From Religion, after reaching this goal.

More goals!
If we can reach this goal, I'll add more goals. No, really! The amount of interest and support that this project receives will also help direct where I focus in the future. It'll probably start with podcasts, and videos directly addressing the topics that my patrons request.
Giving Back! - I'll make an immediate donation to Grief Beyond Belief, after reaching this goal.

I've spent the past decade engaging believers and apologists on live television, in e-mails, on forums and from stages at universities and conventions, but my time has always been limited by the number of vacation days I could take from my day job.
I'd like to try to change that, but more importantly, I want to continue to produce content that helps people become more comfortable and more effective at defending their views.
With this Patreon project I'm going to be producing better content aimed at teaching people how to better recognize and respond to arguments - and you can help!
I'm going to start with comprehensive treatments of not just the classical arguments for the existence of god but all of the common apologetic arguments and claims that you're likely to hear from believers, including appeals to prophecy, tradition, popularity and more.
Your support will allow me to not only produce the video content I plan to work on, it'll also allow me to dedicate more time to writing books, delivering lectures and engaging in formal debates.
Your support will also give you a voice in directing the content I produce. Do you have questions you'd like me to answer? I can do that. Are you having difficulty with a particular argument or tactic? I can try to help....with your help. In fact, alongside the initial series covering the standard arguments in varied forms, I plan to post videos answering questions that patrons have sent me.
