Maximum Fun is an audience-supported podcast network, so we rely on our community to help pay our hosts, producers, staff and to keep the lights on at HQ. While you can start a membership any time of year, the bulk of our active fundraising is done once a year during the MaxFunDrive.
The MaxFunDrive is our annual pledge drive where our podcasts put out the BEST shows of the year, with amazing guests and can't-miss topics. During the drive, we offer fantastic (and exclusive!) thank-you gifts to listeners who join as new monthly members or upgrade their monthly membership. The gifts at the $10 level and above are only available during the MaxFunDrive, and we release a new batch of bonus content from all shows during the Drive. All $5 members get access to the bonus content - you don't have to be a new or upgrading member! It's the best time of the year to join, boost upgrade, and most of all, it's a celebration of the MaxFun community!
