Maximum Fun is an independent, worker-owned cooperative[1][2] podcast and radio show production organization founded by Jesse Thorn. The organization originated with Thorn's college radio show The Sound of Young America which continued in an adapted format and with a new name, Bullseye with Jesse Thorn.[3] Maximum Fun has since grown to include several other programs. Shows on the network cover a wide variety of topics.[4]
In May 2014, Rolling Stone included three Maximum Fun shows on its list of "The 20 Best Comedy Podcasts Right Now": Judge John Hodgman, RISK!, and Throwing Shade.[5]
