Here's a wonderful feeling: interviewing someone, especially someone whose work you really admire, and discovering that they're already a big fan of the show. This happened today with @steveagee.bsky.social from Peacemaker! That's our show on Wednesday.

Can DC hardcore put you to sleep? It can if it's @romanmars.bsky.social talking about it in his golden dulcet tones. He's the creator and host of @99pi.org. You might say we DESIGNED this episode to put you to sleep. Or you might not. I'm not your ventriloquist. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

This week's show features long descriptions of old commercials with Nathan Pyle, who draws those funny Strange Planet cartoons, as well as host @johnmoe.bsky.social's rundown of all the foster dogs he's taken care of in the last year. That ought to snooze ya. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

"The Happiness Project" author @gretchenrubin.bsky.social goes to the Met EVERY SINGLE DAY. Except Wednesday. Join her for a relaxing stroll through the museum and learn the best place to nap there on our all-new episode. The docents won't mind. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

How do you stack your taco? Your burger? Where does the meat go? On the bottom, right? Wrong, says J. Kenji López-Alt and he's a food VERY BIG CELEBRITY. He says think of your toppings as BOTTOMINGS. He's our guest to put you to sleep. He even has OLIVE OPINIONS. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We talked with Baron Vaughn @bv-tv.bsky.social about Ken Burns documentaries and what a Ken Burns documentary about Baron Vaughn would be like. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle... www.instagram.com/reel/DOKoe6s...

You've seen Ravi V. Patel in so many shows and movies. He's firmly in That Guy territory. On our new episode, he does two things: lulls you to sleep with detailed explanations of his fitness and nutrition routines and gets you ready for a healthier tomorrow. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Patrick McEnroe is a famous tennis player and commentator. His wife, Melissa Errico, is a famous Broadway star. Pro tennis and Broadway are very exciting so we had them mostly talk about pleasant pastoral visits to Italy and rural England. So you can sleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Delighted to welcome the deeply funny Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick and their friend Angel for a sleep-inducing conversation about the misunderstood hero the dog world, the chihuahua. Learn about this complex breed and have some laughs while you doze off. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Our friend @anamariecox.bsky.social frequently appears on cable TV talking about upsetting political things. But on our show, she appears this week to talk about many details of long-ago Texas home architecture until you fall asleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We pledged to put a listener on the show if we hit our Max Fun Drive stretch membership goal, thus making that person a CELEBRITY. We welcome now-famous Winter Burnett, comparing and contrasting the two laundromats of Morris, Illinois, for your sleeping pleasure. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We are honored and delighted to welcome writer/podcaster/entertainer @electrolemon.bsky.social Demi Adejuyigbe. He walks us through all the steps, gear, fuss, and rewards that go with FILM PHOTOGRAPHY. It's a positive experience with negatives. (short thread to follow) maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Sleeping with Celebrities isn’t anti-woke, it’s anti-wake.

We're about to interview Demi Adejuyigbe @electrolemon.bsky.social for an upcoming episode. He's going to talk to us about developing film. We are keeping a very tight lid on our excitement so as not to rouse anyone.

A brand new episode starring Janet Varney. We talk about all the many nocturnal creatures of the greater Los Angeles region, who keep the world active whilst you slumber. You know Janet from @thejvclubpodcast.bsky.social right here on @maximumfun.org. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We have @kathyvalentine.bsky.social this week, from @gogosofficial.bsky.social. Obviously she must have a million thrilling stories of her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame career but we worried those might keep you awake so instead she talks about all the cats she's ever had. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We are so very delighted to welcome one of our favorite humans, Paget Brewster, to the show. You know her from Criminal Minds or maybe Friends or maybe The Thrilling Adventure Hour. On our show, she talks about making bone broth until you fall asleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

This week’s show is a repeat of one of our favorites. It features John @hodgman.bsky.social trying to remember all of Maine’s coastal islands while you fall asleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

On a new episode, @julieklausner.bsky.social takes us through her history of massages, good and not AS good, as you drift off to sleep. It's as relaxing as getting a massage but without the oils and someone putting a hot rock on you or playing a CD of whale sounds. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

When comedian @chrisiduffy.bsky.social was on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, he was asked what he would do with the titular prize. A lifetime supply of new socks, he said. Bad answer, they said. But we APPROVE. SOCKS is this week's topic. You will sleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Today on the show: we somehow convinced @tamarakeithnpr.bsky.social, NPR's White House correspondent and cohost of the NPR Politics Podcast to join us. But we don't talk about politics or the president. We talk about delicious PIE as you drift off to sleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Tamara Yajia @tamis.bsky.social loves charcuterie and will tell you all about it as you go to sleep. Brad Pitt was such a fan of Tamara that he invited her over. You know what he served? Yep. Charcuterie. He probably had someone else make it but still: cool. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

New sleep-inducing episode with the amazing writer Hanif Abdurraqib about his huge collection of band t-shirts and apparel. He's got like 90 items but doesn't have his white whale: the Talking Heads jacket Tina Weymouth wore in Rome in 1980. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

New episode with @natedimeo.bsky.social, host of the lovely podcast The Memory Palace. We talk about sports team names (he thinks too many minor league names are a bit too cute) and logos. Have a listen, nod off to sleep. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

We should get someone on to talk about the difference between Costco and Costco Business Center for like an hour. Ooh. John Corbett.

We are very pleased to welcome back one of our favorite guests and best friends @lindaholmes.bsky.social of @npr.org's Pop Culture Happy Hour. She guides you through Beverly Hills 90210 and off to sleep. She even talks about Scott, who was an actual character. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

In our new episode, we travel - very sleepily - the grocery stores of the greater Los Angeles area with actor/comedian Sierra Katow. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle... Did you know the Ralphs chain isn't named after a guy named Ralph? It's not Ralph's. It's Ralphs. Named after the Ralphs brothers.

We asked THE @roxanegay.bsky.social to be on our show and she said yes, causing us much delight. Now you can fall asleep listening to Roxane's beautiful voice tell you all about her favorite airports (IND) and least favorite (JFK). Plus book recommendations. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Drift off to sleep listening to actress and philosopher Abigail Thorn describing her love of the sea and its inhabitants. This is truly a mesmerizing episode.

We welcome @theabigailthorn.bsky.social (Philosophy Tube, House of the Dragon, The Acolyte) to our show this week for a soothing, sleepytime-inducing discussion of scuba diving. She made friends with an octopus. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

I know the world is a lot to take right now. But here's a conversation with a delightful man who is a dog lover and who has BEEN TO SPACE. It's designed to put you to sleep or at least relax you a bit. He talks about how he smuggled his dogs into NASA for this shot. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle...

Get this guy in the fuckin senate tomorrow.

We're posting some special free improvised semi-asleep BEDTIME STORIES during the drive. Today's story was inspired by how in @johnmoe.bsky.social's house, the dogs are allowed up on the couch. Even the foster dogs. maximumfun.org/episodes/sle... cc @maximumfun.org
