Next time you wake up, Relatively Prime will be a missed opportunity... unless you act! 5 key facts

This is the last opportunity you have to support Relatively Prime. Five key facts:

1. Relatively Prime will be worth listening to.
   Relatively Prime will be a series of eight hour long podcasts to tell stories from the world of mathematics by Samuel Hansen. Read Hints about Relatively Prime, where I have collected the hints Samuel has given about the stories he would like to tell.
   
2. Relatively Prime is different from all the mathematics podcasts you have ever heard.
   Samuel's ambition for this project goes beyond any amateur endeavour you are used to (I say this as an amateur podcaster). Listen to five minutes of me quizzing Samuel about the project.
3. If Relatively Prime doesn't raise $8,000 it won't happen.
   As I write, 125 wonderful people and me have donated $5,448, which is really amazing but falls short of the target.
   The way Kickstarter works, if Relatively Prime fails to achieve the $8,000 target IT GETS NOTHING. This isn't a pledge-drive with a vague target - if Relatively Prime doesn't reach its target it will fail.
   As I write, Relatively Prime needs $2552 in the next 18 hours. Just looking at people who've clicked the bit.ly link (not those who've visited the link directly) there are currently 2,838 clicks. If they had all left a dollar Relatively Prime would be funded by now!
4. Supporting Relatively Prime is quick and easy.
   Payment is through Amazon, so if you've used Amazon you don't need to worry about giving another site your credit card details, and Amazon takes care of the currency exchange.
   
5. Relatively Prime is good for mathematics communication.
   Samuel Hansen is a budding mathematics communicator. During his masters degree he has been engaged with such activities as the Strongly Connected Components mathematics interview show, the Combinations and Permutations comedic mathematics chat show, the Math/Maths Podcast news/current affairs show, the Math/Maths Week 2010 public lecture tour of the UK and the Math/Maths History Tour of Nottingham series of videos. Now he has graduated he is looking for his place in the world and Relatively Prime will give the world the opportunity to capture his enthusiasm and talent for the cause of mathematics communication.
   You know how the Fields medal is awarded "in recognition of distinguished research but also to encourage further effort"? Well Relatively Prime is our opportunity to do the same for Samuel - to recognise his work and to encourage further effort from someone with potential.
   It will also be good to think that we live in a world where good quality mathematics communication is valued.
