Summary

It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters. Manolo Moreno (Dr. Gameshow) chats with Tom Lum (Let's Learn Everything!) about podcasting, in a conversation that covers everything from getting dropped from a network for not being famous enough, to quantum physics and ghosts. Plus, they share their podcast origin stories, running gags on their respective shows, and what happens when a die hard listener becomes a die hard teenager. If this glamorous, in-depth journey into what makes your favorite hosts tick inspires you, support them by joining as a member at maximumfun.org/join. Edited by Laura Swisher and Produced by Hannah Muroz for Maximum Fun.
