I've been a #MaxFunDrive member for (I think?) 16 years now. It's a good feeling to be able to support the things you love!
I'll admit it, I listen to a lot of podcasts.
As a business landscape, podcasting (like all media landscapes, I suppose), is a bleak and hateful attention economy devaluing creators and busy hoisting itself on its own advertising petard.
BUT! there are bright spots, one being the #MaximumFun network, a worker-owned, listener supported co-op encompassing a lot of very good artist owned podcasts.
They are in their annual fund drive now, check them out: https://maximumfun.org #MaxFunDrive
New FULL episode tomorrow!

Most #MaxFunDrive stuff is over on the dead bird website, but this year I’m a proud supporter. @maxfunhq has some of the best podcasts out there, and all listener supported. I think like 80-90% of my weekly podcasts come from them.
I will GLADLY pay to support something I love from cool people who make it. #MaxFunDrive2024
Happy #MaxFunDrive. I'm a proud supporter of the Maximum Fun podcast network, and prouder than ever since they became a worker owned co-op last year. I've been donating for fifteen goddamn gregorian solar years, here's to many more.
We got the final results in from #maxfundrive today and it turned out great after a big final weekend!
A sincere thank you to all the #FriendsOfDeSoto who pitched in this year. Your support really does make it all possible and I'm so grateful to work with Ben and Adam on the shows. It's a weird and hilarious job but I love it and I'm looking forward to what's ahead! 😍
