Milestone Goals

Cover storage space

$20 per month

We currently have 250MB a month to play with, so this covers the storage we already have now.

Increase storage space

$25 per month

At $25 a month, we can go up to 400MB a month and have longer episodes

Increase storage space

$35 per month

At $35, we can go up to 600MB, and do more than four episodes a month.

Increase storage space

$45 per month

At $45 a month, we can go up to 800MB we have the room to go pretty much as long as we want and do as many episodes as we have free time to record and edit.

Improve audio equipment

$50 per month

If we somehow manage to go up to $50 a month, we can afford to get some better audio equipment and stop using one headset microphone between two people.

Weekly Comics Reviews

$70 per month

If we get to this level, we'll do weekly comics reviews available to all patrons. Sometimes it'll be just Kieran, sometimes it'll be just Helena, and sometimes it'll be the both of us, but it'll hopefully be a fun look into what we think of more contemporary comics.

Journey Into Misery Let's Plays

$80 per month

If we get to this level, we'll record ourselves playing superhero themed video games such as Lego Marvel Superheroes and Injustice: Gods Among Us, and release them on YouTube.

Make Helena watch Howard The Duck

$100 per month

Helena does not want to watch Howard The Duck. She is very scared of Howard The Duck. If we get to $100 a month, she will watch Howard The Duck and we'll make an episode about it.

The Encyclopedia of Super-Pets

$110 per month

At this level, we'll purchase the DC Super Pets Encyclopedia, and go through it page by page in a bonus episode.

Make Helena watch The Spirit

$120 per month

At this level, we'll physically purchase a copy of The Spirit on DVD, and record an episode after watching the worst comic book movie of all time.

Holy Bat-Nipples, Batman!

$130 per month

At this level, we'll watch the infamous Batman and Robin, and record an episode about one of Kieran's favourite comic book movies of all time.

Player 2 has joined the game

$150 per month

At this level, we can afford a new PS4 controller so the Let's Plays can be both of us, rather than just one at a time.

Video episodes of Journey Into Misery

$200 per month

At this level, we'll do very special video episodes of the show, in addition to the weekly podcast and bonus episodes.

Reading lists

$200 per month

Separate to the show notes I publish every week, I'll write out a comprehensive reading list of the best stories you can find featuring the characters we cover on the show, available to all patrons!

JiM Badges

$250 per month

We'll order a bunch of Journey Into Misery badges and send them to all $5 patrons!

Journey Into Misery is a podcast where Kieran Shiach explains complicated comics characters and concepts to the patient and perpetually perplexed Helena Hart.

Comic books are great, but sometimes we as fans get too deep into the continuity and craziness of those words, and whether you're a hardcore fan or a comics beginner we hope to provide something that's entertaining and offers a unique perspective on the medium.

With your support, we can afford to put more of a time into producing better episodes and help keep the lights on around here.
