Hi there!
For all of our members who joined or upgraded during MaxFunDrive 2024, we’ve got an update on gift fulfillment! But first, some exciting show news…
Black People Love Paramore won a Webby!
Congrats to host Sequoia Holmes and producer Palmira Muñiz!

Black People Love Paramore, a podcast by Sequoia Holmes about the niche interests of Black people, joined MaxFun late last year. We think the show was a stellar addition to the network, and it seems like the people agree—they just won the People’s Voice for Podcasts – Interview/Talk Show!
“We celebrate all the hard work Sequoia’s put into the show over the years and I can’t wait to see it reach the highest of heights. Black People Love Paramore was able to cultivate a pivotal moment in music, and that interview will go down in pop culture history.”
— Palmira Muñiz, producer of Black People Love Paramore
If you haven’t listened to the show yet and aren’t sure where to dive in, how about starting with one of Sequoia’s personal favorites: Black People Love Phrases, Idioms, and Colloquialisms, featuring former FANTI hosts (and recent NAACP Image Award winners) jarrett hill and Tre’vell Anderson!

And, for even more Webby excitement: Tights and Fights co-host Danielle Radford co-wrote Honest Trailers: Barbie, which came away from the Webbys with both the Viral Video and People’s Voice for Best Writing awards!
Congrats, Danielle! |
Danson on Dairy, Buscemi on Bullseye
Two MaxFun shows just had some legendary guests.
After years of jokes, the actor Ted Danson had a (real, actual) guest role as himself (sort of) on Beef and Dairy Network Podcast. If you’re a fan of Beef and Dairy, you absolutely need to hear this one—and even if you’ve never listened to the show, this is a great standalone episode! I mean, who doesn’t want to hear Ted Danson very seriously demand repayment of his grain debt?

Moving from comedy over to culture, Jesse Thorn recently interviewed actor Steve Buscemi for Bullseye. It’s a really fantastic interview—check it out now!
