Maximum Fun
Maximum Fun is an independent, worker-owned cooperative that produces and distributes a variety of podcasts and radio shows. Founded by Jesse Thorn in the early 2000s, it has grown from his college radio show into a network featuring over 20 shows, including *Bullseye with Jesse Thorn*, *Judge John Hodgman*, and *Jordan, Jesse, Go!*. The organization emphasizes comedy, culture, and niche interests. In June 2023, Maximum Fun transitioned to a 100% worker-owned model, allowing full-time employees to become owners. This structure promotes employee involvement in decision-making and ensures long-term sustainability. The network operates on a community-supported subscription model, relying on listener contributions to fund its shows and cover operational costs. Additionally, Maximum Fun hosts live events and tours for its podcast creators, fostering a direct connection with its audience.
