    Some of the best The Shows were when you looked into something in the news and found a genuine angle on it that was being ignored. But then some of the other best shows were you poking fruit. Based on the promo video, it seems like you still know how to strike a good balance. So, to be specific as you ask, the presidential election would fit well. The recent mainstreaming of a new anti-women's rights movement. The cultural disconnect between those of us who spend too much time online and those who don't spend any, and/or the internet bleeding into real life. You've gotten twice the money than what you asked for, so rather than doing something boring like being financially secure for an extra year, do five $10k special reports. Go report from Iran while it's still safe enough. See how one person and $10k can improve as many lives as possible in LA. Crowdsource the finding of an entrepreneur who is first generation American and be their first angel round, document the process of starting a company here. Visit Shanghai or Hong Kong, explain how it's weird and how it's familiar.

    A Show with Ze Frank by Ze Frank

    In 2006 I created a show called "The Show with Ze Frank." With your help I'd like to start a new show. Same, same... but different.
