International Waters

The IW gang meet up for the inaugural Cultural Exchange! We all watched the US and UK versions of the same show, this time it's Are You Being Served (UK) and Beane's of Boston (US). We talk about what we liked, what we hated, and what could have been if Beane's ended up going to series.

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.

In this episode, we have host Dave Holmes and International Waters writer Riley Silverman dishing on what makes a good IW guest, versus a... not-good one. Plus, the Jimmy Pardo of it all.

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.
