For five years, Wait, What? has been Jeff Lester and Graeme McMillan’s podcast for discussion of comic books, pop culture, and their shared love for Belgian Waffles. With new episodes released every second Monday, it’s a place where news, reviews, and countless digressions about television, movies, and half-remembered comic characters combine to create something that’s one part informed comic book industry analysis and commentary, about the comic book industry and one part ongoing conversation between two friends. If nothing else, Wait, What? is a comic book podcast with more mentions of Jack Kirby and Steve Englehart than any other podcast out there—we (almost certainly) guarantee it!*

Freewheeling and only occasionally nonsensical, Wait, What? has a following of tens of thousands of “Whatnauts” who tune in to hear discussions on everything from the latest Marvel or DC event comic, to 2000AD characters of the past, or Jeff’s latest “erotic” webcomic discovery--all treated with the same mix of irreverence and affection. After more than 150 episodes as the official podcast for the Savage Critics website, Wait, What? is going it alone for the next 150 and beyond — with your help, of course.

While the regular Wait, What? podcast will remain available for free every two weeks as always, we’re looking to expand our horizons, with a new website (at http://www.waitwhatpodcast.com) where we can host written posts, as well as — just maybe — some additional audio special episodes and other extra content in the future.

But we can’t do it without you!

In order to provide the kind of additional material we’d like to offer, we’re asking for contributions from listeners. We’re not asking for a lot — as you can see below, we tried to keep our pledge levels as low as we could — but every little bit helps us free up our schedules to have more time to put towards All Things Wait, What?. In exchange, we’re offering chances for you to suggest comics we should be reviewing, ask questions we’ll answer on-air, and receive exclusive audio unavailable anywhere else.

We’re both very conscious of our audience, and also of what we’re asking with this campaign. You can cap your monthly contributions, or offer a one-time pledge if you want; we will be eternally grateful no matter what, (and not in the “year-long Batman mini-series” meaning of the word, either). Please check out the reward tiers below, watch the video above (Seriously, we cut about three minutes of us cracking up at each other out, so be grateful that it’s not longer), and then decide to give us all of your worldly goods — sorry, we mean “carefully choose which tier seems best for you.”

Thank you for checking out this Patreon! We will try our best to entertain and earn our keep, but apologize in advance for our probably-inevitable future failures in that regard.
