In the debut episode of Bake Sale, I talk with Heidi Swedberg, ukulele evangelist, who's Kickstarting the physical production of her second album for families, My Cup of Tea.

Welcome to Bake Sale
The first Kickstarter project I backed was Elena Moon Park's Rabbit Days and Dumplings, a family music album of songs from East Asia. Besides the album having a Dan Zanes pedigree, always a good sign, it had personal meaning for me.
It took me awhile before I really got into crowdfunding and Kickstarter generally, but now I'm a big supporter. While I like Kickstarter, I think the site does a poor job of highlighting projects for kids and families. They have a children's book category, but no children's music category, and there's no other easy way to find projects targeted at the younger set.
I'm hoping to change that just a little bit with this new show. I'm going to feature creators of Kickstarter projects pitched for kids and families while their project is underway. So if you've got a young 'un in your life, I hope you'll tune and find projects they (and you) can enjoy.
