MaxFun is about putting more good into the world in a sustainable way.

So, why does sustainability need new/upgrading members every year?

Because every year, folks drop off. Life happens! Not everyone can be a member right now. Maybe you can’t, either.

But maybe you can!

#MaxFunDrive is here! It’s the time of year where we celebrate MaxFun members, and remind you this show exists because folks like you support it.

The only way our show happens is because a community of people like you decided to join. Visit maximumfun.org/joinbulseye to become a member today!

From the maximumfun community on Reddit: Jesse Thorn's letter to the editor in the Washington Post Explore this post and more from the maximumfun community

I mentioned I once (in college) had a letter published in the Washington Post. A listener tracked it down and then someone found the anti-rap column that led me to write in. Holy cow, was it awful.

Terry Gross has never done any interviews at an open mic. This is why I am more respected / successful than her I have PAID MY DUES AT OPEN MICS.

What reporter type person would you like to hear from? I'm not inside that world enough to know who is great at it! I mean... Maggie Haberman seems to get the president to answer the phone still. But WHO?

So far: mostly Nardwuar. Fun story! Nardwuar was going to come on last time - I met him at SxSW, wandering on the street in his tam, and I got his email. Super nice guy. But then he was ill when we were taping! So: yes, probably Nardwuar. But who else?
