Meaghan O’Connell and Melissa Gira Grant of Coming & Crying are the guests on the third Kickstarter podcast, which went up on iTunes this morning. (You can subscribe on iTunes or download/stream from the web.) From the beginning of Coming & Crying, we were struck by what an amazing job Meaghan and Melissa did of putting themselves into their project. Being a backer was far more than a financial transaction; you really felt a part of their vision.

We invited Meaghan and Melissa down to the Kickstarter offices a few weeks ago to discuss their success, the origins of their project, and whether their parents knew what they were up to. Unsurprisingly it was an awesome conversation, and we came away inspired by their passion and excited to see how their project would grow.

The project itself has just four days to go, with nearly $12,000 raised on a $3,000 goal. Amazing stuff. Be sure to tune into our conversation and to back their project if you haven’t already.
