Hey, wonderfuls. Welcome to episode 319 of the JV club with a long.

Ooh, I regret doing that incredibly ridiculous goat-like long, but I'm going to stick by it.

The long-awaited for me personally at least, episode with the delightful, thoughtful and terrific human being who is our own and I do take ownership

of him as can you if you're a Max Fun member, John Hodgman.

We talked to a very, very long time. This episode that you will hear on the regular

feed is a truncated version. We love all of our listeners. Listeners, I love you.

We weren't going to keep this episode with

Hodgman locked away, unavailable

to the non-member ears, which are still delightful ears.

But because this is the first week of Max Fun Drive,

the little short time during the year

where we ask you our wonderful listeners

for support to keep the network going

and this show going, we did decide to hold a bunch of the conversation back to thank our

members. John of course has two podcasts on the network and is quite a beloved member of Max Fun.

So he seems like the perfect person

to shamelessly exploit to thank our members for supporting Max Fun.

And that can be you too for as little as $5 a month.

And if you're already a member, this is also a great opportunity to boost or upgrade your

membership and support the JV club with your monthly contribution.

I can honestly say that might be the highest my voice has ever gotten.

You will also have your hands on some wonderful perks, which I will talk about a little
