It’s that time of year again, friends. When you donate to Maximum Fun during the MaxFunDrive, you get the satisfaction of knowing you helped directly support your favorite hosts and the network that brings their podcasts to you.
You also get some totally sweet gifts that are only available during the MaxFunDrive.
To be eligible for these gifts, just sign up as a new or upgrading member between March 14 and March 25th. That’s it! Here’s what we’ve got for you this year:
If you sign on as a MaxFun member at the $200 per month level, we’ll cover your registration for either MaxFunCon East or MaxFunCon 2017. Registration includes food, lodging, classes, and entertainment for the entire weekend — basically everything you’ll need to have the best weekend ever, short of transportation there. We’ll even throw in a bunch of new friends for free. We’ll also say really, really nice things about you around the office at MaxFunHQ.
Get complimentary MaxFunCon 2017 registration
Become a member at $100 per month or more, and we’ll welcome you into The Inner Circle. MaxFun hosts are always discovering awesome music, movies, and books, and once you’re part of The Inner Circle, they’ll share those picks with you. Each month, we ask a host to select a piece of culture they love, and we send a copy to you in the mail or digitally with a note about who’s recommending it and what they have to say about it.
Join The Inner Circle, and get a hand-picked selection sent to you each month
New and upgrading $35 plus monthly members will receive a durable MaxFun-branded stainless steel vacuum thermos with screw-off travel tumbler. You can even take the plastic cap off the bottom of the thermos to cover your tumbler and prevent spills. Whether you’re concerned the meeting you’re attending won’t provide hot drinks, or you just want to bring some soup on your next hike with your pup, this thermos has got you covered.

The gift package we assembled for our new and upgrading $20 plus monthly members is full of essential items for your next adventure. The MaxFun Adventure Necessities kit includes:
- a MaxFun-rocket-emblazoned stainless steel multi-tool, featuring a knife, spring-loaded scissors, tweezers, a toothpick, a nail file, and key ring;
- a paracord bracelet that not only looks cool, but can be unraveled and used as a utility cord in emergencies;
- a packet of hot chocolate mix, because you’re going to want some hot drinks around that campfire; and
- a travel pack of toilet tissue, which is useful if you’re camping! Also if you find yourself paper-less in a public bathroom and no one will spare a square. Also, because it’s just kind of great to be able to mail people toilet paper.

Ok, here’s the thing, we are super jazzed about our $10 gift this year, and we think you will be, too. New and upgrading monthly members who sign on at the $10 level or higher will get to choose a drive-exclusive, show-specific bandana designed by Megan Lynn Kott of 2014’s cat calendar pledge gift fame. Megan did an amazing job designing all of the prints for these 22” navy blue cotton bandanas, and this is the first time you can pick a gift that directly represents your favorite Maximum Fun podcast. Put it on your head, put it on your dog, or just pack your bindle and move away with this MaxFun bandana. Check out all of the designs here.

Finally, all of our members who give at least $5 per month are granted access to our collection of exclusive bonus content. You’ll get over 75 hours of extra episodes, outtakes, Q&As, extended cuts, videos, and pilots from all of your favorite shows. That’s three days of stuff. That’s enough bonus content to last you the entirety of a cross-country road trip, even if you listen during sleeping breaks. Become a member now, and start listening!
