This is your home on the internet for all things Block Party!
MaxFun Block Party is a new way to bring the MaxFun community together online for some fun, plus a little inspiration for you to try a new show or share a show you like.
During Block Party all MaxFun podcasts will be throwing open their (metaphorical) doors with an episode that is especially welcoming to new audiences. So if you’ve been wanting to introduce friends or family to a favorite show, or have been looking to try out something new yourself, come on in!
Fun stuff:
We also have a bunch of games, recommendations, and activities you can enjoy throughout the two weeks of Block Party (and beyond)! Read on and click through to learn more about each one.
Doing Good With MaxFun
MaxFun fans are the most generous and caring folks we know, and we’ve been wanting to help people get together for a volunteer event for a while now. So, for the full two weeks of Block Party, we’re going to be encouraging MaxFunsters to take a bit of time to do some good in their neighborhoods–and MaxFun staff will be doing the same. We assembled care kits for LifeKit LA and will be making bookmarks for Liberation Library on Wednesday. To get some volunteer inspiration, check out our handy guide.
Upcoming Livestreams:
Fri, Oct 22 at 4pm PT/ 7pm ET: The Greatest Gen Go Live on Twitch
