It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters.

Jesse Thorn and Judge John Hodgman know a thing or two about podcasting, and in this very important podcasting event, they reveal ALL the tricks of the trade. They're joined by podcasting veterans Stuart Wellington & Dan McCoy (The Flop House). It goes without saying these four gentlemen have a very funny, and delightful, conversation. But they also get vulnerable. What does that mean? You'll have to listen to find out!

If this glamorous, in-depth journey into what makes your favorite hosts tick inspires you, support them by joining as a member at maximumfun.org/join.

Prospector Janet Varney and John Hodgman are ready to talk about all the GOLD in them thar hills!

That’s right; the show is back on the west coast, to spotlight California; everything from gold, bears, and even a cryptid or two.

In fact, California is on its way to having an official cryptid– Big Foot. But this is a monster that other states may feel a stronger claim to, even if the legislation is completely pushed through.

But no matter how that shakes out, let’s appreciate that amazing motto. Whether you’ve just pulled a shiny nugget or you’re just feeling good, it sure is fun to shout, “Eureka!”
