    Casters on Casters: Jeremy Bent and Austin Taylor

    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.

    In this episode, Austin Taylor (Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries) explains how he chooses topics, and the metric by which something can be considered "a mystery". Plus, Jeremy Bent (Mission to Zyxx & Eurovangelists) has some advice for anyone who is trying to come up with a name for their podcast.

    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.

    D04: The Role of a Lietime

    We’re off to Holowood! Or HoloWEIRD as I like to call it! I find myself once again slingin’ grub to a bunch of ingrates, this time alongside an innocent young up-and-comer full of bad coffee and big dreams. Shae and GOOD_E find the perfect and most depressing place to lay low. Zap Zop gets discovered! And you’ll never guess who kicks my bucket this time. Never meet your heroes!

    We've unearthed (unRangused?) a special bonusode from Season 2: a Zyxx Crew mailbag unheard by the masses until now! It's mostly Alden's fault. Enjoy!

    Thanks so much to EnigmaFish on Discord (architect of our amazing transcription project!) for noticing its omission! Very fresh.

    The Legumies Get the Loot Gimmes

    The Legumies are back. Again! Our actual play D&D one-shot episode was so fun and had such a great response, we've decided to make it an ongoing campaign. In this second installment, our heroes level up, win treasure, and enlist in a dangerous new adventure. Booket hits the books. Larry YOLO's. And everyone bleeds.

    Episodes of Mission to D-Syxx will come out biweekly, allowing us more time to painstakingly mix Derf episodes. Meaning: two releases every month; one Derf, one Legumies. To suggest weird NPC names and help make the show possible, join us at maximumfun.org/join
