I spent my college fund trying to beat Badical with Timothée Chalamet -- I never got those bragging rights but I was the only eight year old in my class with carpal tunnel.

I had a wonderful time guesting on 'Badical', the very real podcast about the very real video game we all really obsessed over back in the day. Thank you to @moviehooligan.bsky.social @startthemachine.bsky.social @gamefullyun.bsky.social for having me 🙌 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

In the West, the Trump Administration has gone to war against… buffalo. Under the umbrella of the InterTribal Buffalo Council, 80+ tribes have been restoring free-range bison to the plains. They're working with big green NGOs like the Nature Conservancy, which have buffalo on land of their own.🧵

Bison are a symbol and embodiment of the plains and the plains’ first peoples. The federal government deliberately tried to get rid of them in the late 19th century as a way to force Indians off land and give it to settlers. It’s incredible to see this being repeated 150 years later.

I am going to lose my fucking shit if someone doesn't green light one of these David Bell sceenplays soon.

On this special day, we celebrate a brand new BADICAL with guest @alexschmidty.bsky.social! Listen now!!! Apple: shorturl.at/bAXs1 SoundCloud: shorturl.at/buLWN

We’ve been a @maximumfun.org household for years. These days, I especially appreciate putting my money toward employee owned networks with excellent content.

I've supported @maximumfun.org for like 20 years. Celeb podcasters caused an advertising bubble that is popping hard, and it means a lot to directly support people I love making incredible work that they own. Too many shows to name. maximumfun.org/join

my financial resolution this year was to give less money to big corporations and more to artists, art, local and indie stores. delighted that I just got a raise at work and can raise my monthly donation to @maximumfun.org and support artist-owned podcasts that I love

please become a member so we can have a second season of my favorite interview series ever 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Sliding in before the end of MaxFunDrive to support my favorite podcasting family and a business model that treats creators well 🤯 @maximumfun.org PS - Fellow Dropout-heads, a lot of our favorite folks make stuff at MaxFun too! You should check it out Maximumfun.org/join

You're laughing. The CEO and senior producer are stuck in the elevator and you're laughing

I bumped up my @maximumfun.org membership and here's why: there are few things left in this world that are still fun, authentic, and not ruined by corporate greed. MaxFun is one of them. If you're in a financial position to do so, please become a member. Good things only thrive if we support them!

It’s me: Alex “12th Amendment” Schmidt

Listen, there’s a whole lotta suck out there right now but @maximumfun.org is one of the bright spots in my life. This worker-owned co-op is doing a lot of cool, fun stuff right now. If you’ve got a spare $5 a month, consider supporting them. It’s worth every penny and then some.

Sleeping with Celebrities thinks a reminder of the underpinnings of American democracy could help you relax or sleep. Here's THE ENTIRE U.S. CONSTITUTION read aloud by 44 PEOPLE including stars of NPR, comedy, music, and Maximum Fun. THIS TOOK SO LONG TO MAKE. Enjoy! maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Good morning! I am a podcaster of (gulp) 20+ years, founded the @maximumfun.org network and helped convert it to a worker-owned cooperative. I host NPR’s Bullseye, Judge John Hodgman and Jordan Jesse Go. I’ve never done this on BlueSky, but ask me anything! Hosting! Interviewing! Comedy! Podbiz!

Set out to write a LinkedIn post (I know, I know) about @maximumfun.org and the Max Fun Drive. It ended up getting more philosophical and heartfelt than I expected and I thought you might like to read it.

I think this is the main reason to join MaxFun. If you like it, you gotta support it. maximumfun.org/join

Thank you Brian! MaxFun shows are truly independent. We creators own them. MaxFun supports us and is entirely worker-owned. The whole thing only works if you join! maximumfun.org/join

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

THANK YOU! If you listen to @jordanjessego.bsky.social, FREE WITH ADS or any of the fine shows on @maximumfun.org, please support them in the MAX FUN DRIVE! Maximum Fun is a worker-owed co-op run by nice folks and the shows are artist-owned.

"Inspectors Inspectors" is the best, please support Secretly Incrediblely Fascinating to hear more!

MaxFunDrive is here and I just have to say: if you support independent media, you should consider supporting MaxFun. Truly independent networks are rare, and they're dedicated to maintaining that for themselves and the shows. Support the art you want to see in the world (if funds allow obviously)

Hey that’s me on that pillar! And a bunch of really cool people. Support independent media and fart jokes Maximumfun.org/join

Hi! If we get to 450 new contributions to Depresh Mode during the @maximumfun.org Drive, we can make Your Best Life In Hell. It's a limited series that recognizes the toll of current events on your mental health and how to live your best life despite that. Please pitch in! maximumfun.org/join

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!

Join in the fun: maximumfun.org/joinsifpod 🚀 #MaxFunDrive

I've been a member since the year they had bandanas as an incentive. My level has fluctuated over the years as my income and cost of living has fluctuated, but donating to worker- and artist-owned media is 100% worth it. The difference between $0 and $5 is infinitely greater than that of $5 and $50.
