Wil Wheaton's campaign on Indiegogo to fund season three of his TableTop show, dedicated to promoting board game and card game to every one, prompts a discussion amongst the NerdCast crew. Is this the intended use of crowdfunding? Should such a popular show be able to stand on its own two legs? What else could be done with all the money folks are pouring into their hobbies?
