Will remain the most exciting company in media. In the past year, the group behind the “party game for horrible people” has: • launched a “” that helps independent creators sell and ship their stuff directly to audiences, “without publishers or other bloodsucking middlemen taking most of the money.” • created that connects local companies to local podcasts in Chicago, in addition to making of their podcasts. • partnered with Chicago’s public radio station WBEZ to make the 150,000 people who signed up for “” members of the station for a full year. (And sent out a note to those 150,000 people of funding public media.) • launched a which included an moderated by a WBEZ political reporter and live tapings of WBEZ’s • made $71,000 by selling on Black Friday.
• started a in their offices designed to foster creativity and collaboration with people who work outside of their industry. I’m watching them experiment on Twitch and with podcasts and live events in a way that gets people excited, builds a fan base and community, and makes people more invested in their own communities.
