THANK YOU to our 11,000 (!!!) new, upgrading, and boosted members!
We've got something exciting planned for 12k, so hold on tight to hear more about that!
As a MaxFun member, you're not only helping the shows & co-op, you're making sure folks that can't afford it right now can continue to have the podcasts in their life too.
Members come & go as life happens, but collectively you make it possible for this cool thing to continue to exist.
For everyone.
This feels particularly uplifting to me this year. The only way our network is even here is because you & people like you care about the shows enough to choose to give them money. And by people stepping in when they can, we're still here.
If you can support, we need it: maximumfun.org/join

Who's ready for the MAXFUNDRIVE 2025 FINALE SHOW?
Not me, not quite yet -- still putting some things together. But the lineup is set and it's full of hosts and games and live-streamed fun!

We’re so grateful for all the love and support the MaxFun community pours out during the Drive that we can’t help but want to pass it on. If you want to be a part of it (or if you just like pins), make sure you join before the end of the Drive.
Why not do it right now? maximumfun.org/join

We’re proud to announce that profits from our post-Drive pin sale will benefit Transgender Law Center. 🎉🏳️⚧️💕
After the Drive, MaxFun members new and ongoing at the $10/mo level can buy any (or all!) of the Tom Deja-designed pins from this year’s MFD.
And EVERY member can take this Nutsy home!
If you listen to shows on Maximum Fun, if they make your day better, if you hate the idea of not having them in your life... then it's time to become a member. maximumfun.org/join.
(It's also time because you only have one week left to get one of these rad pins if you become a $10/mo member.)

Thursday, March 20: Meetup Day for MaxFunDrive 2025. Image shows a photo of happy people chatting at last year's L.A. Meetup, framed by the fun doodles that make up this year's MFD art, including a rocket and rainbow and planet and stars
Sometimes it's fun to meet folks who like the same kind of stuff you like. Every MaxFunDrive, we encourage MaxFun fans to do just that.
You don't have to talk podcasts the whole time--or even at all! We have no power here! How can we stop you? Meetup Day: NO GODS NO MASTERS

Be the envy of your next picnic, beach day, or MacArthur Park photoshoot with your taxidermied squirrel with this Frank-ly inspired 100% cotton beach towel by artist/MaxFun super-pal Paul Hammond. Get it (plus your choice of pin) by joining or upgrading to $20 per month!

So beat the rush! Go to maximumfun.org/join right now and become a member, upgrade your membership, or boost it by a buck or two. You'll be directly supporting the things you want to exist in the world, AND you can smugly nod and scroll past the rest of our pitching between now and March 28.
If you listen to our shows all the way through, you already know MaxFun is a worker-owned network of artist-owned shows, supported directly by you. We'll be talking a lot about what that means, why we do it that way, and why we think it matters. But the bottom line is: we can't do it without you.
Strap in and get comfy, folks: it is officially MaxFunDrive! For this week and next, all two-score or so of the shows we create and/or distribute are going to be doing special episodes, member-exclusive bonus content and, yes, repeatedly asking you for money. It's a little annoying but a lot of fun.
The 22nd SF Sketchfest runs January 16th through February 2nd, 2025. Hundreds of comedy shows throughout San Francisco! Standup, sketch, improv, podcasts, tributes, and more! Visit <sfsketchfest.com> for the full lineup!
The wait is over—SF Sketchfest starts tonight!
Get ready for a whirlwind of comedy, creativity, and unforgettable performances. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a first-timer, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
