Sean Astin Launches Kickstarter Crowd Sourcing Campaign for his Political Radio Show: "Vox Populi: The Voice of the 'Occasionally Interested' People"

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --


WHO: Popular film and television actor and political enthusiast, Sean Astin has just launched a crowd funding effort to
raise $30,000 from Kickstarter to take his Vox Populi online political radio show to the next level. With the
government shut down, average people are looking at elected officials and wondering why they aren't communicating.
Astin's show is an example of how that can be effectively done.


WHAT: The weekly show (Broadcast on the Toad­-Hop Network) brilliantly matches guests with opposing viewpoints. The
premise of the show is to use civil discourse to explore often hot button topics. Sean expertly interviews notable
subjects while effortlessly guiding the broader conversation, creating a unique model for political talk radio.
Currently he has completed thirty-five 2 hour shows with 12,000-15,000 loyal listeners each week. The KickStarter,
once funded, will help create a more fully produced listening and viewing experience, continuing the important
conversations which cover politics, government and world events.


WHEN: October 1, 2013 through October 30, 2013
