Hey, it's a special mini-sode edition of Depresh Mode.

I'm John Moe. I'm glad you're here.

And we're going the extra mile, or six miles, right now, because it's the max fun drive.

That's where we celebrate our listeners,

bring you extra content, offer you thank you gifts, and it's where you support the show.

That's our business model. Show creators own the shows. Max Fun, the network is employee owned.

No media giants or private equity here, no consolidation, no shows

disappearing because they aren't profitable enough. And it's supported by members, keeping it

pure and honest and good. We ask you to support that whole idea. We're going to dive in here

in just a minute, but learn and use this URL, won't you?

Maximumfund.org slash join.

Go there now and become a member of Max Fun, of Depression Mode.

That's the only way this is possible.

You can join it five bucks a month, five bucks.

You can't even get a dang latte for five bucks anymore or a sandwich.

Or you could join for more.

The higher you go, the more excellent thank you gifts you can get.

But even at five bucks, you get access to the Max Fund bonus content vault.

And that includes two new shows from Depression Mode this year.

The all-star sad songs that make you feel better,

folks like Nico Case, Gavin Rossdale, Open Mike Eagle, Josh Ritter,

talking about their favorite sad songs that paradoxically improve mood.
