Hey, have you ever noticed the system where you give a billionaire in Silicon Valley ten pounds a month and then you wait for them to give you shows you like doesn't *always* work out? Well, luckily, there is an alternative: /join/
@maxfunhq is a worker-owned podcast network that lets artists like @jlukeroberts make podcasts like Sound Heap. But these podcasts take time to make and time is, as you know, money. So once a year we spend a fortnight asking you to support the shows you love.
You can become a Maximum Fun member for as little as $5/month - that's £3.70! In exchange you get access to over a decades' worth of exclusive bonus content, such as Sound Heap's crossover episodes with @sleepwcelebs and @beefanddairynetwork , and @gralefrit 's interview of John-Luke.
If you sign up for $10/month (£7.40!), you will also receive an exclusive enamel pin from the show of your choice; this year, Sound Heap's is Elty Jom-themed!
Support the artists who make the art you love. It really does make all the difference in getting these shows made.
