The JV Club with Janet Varney Janet Varney and Maximum Fun

We’re elated to welcome the dynamic actor Alisha Wainwright, who tells of her Jamaican & Haitian roots, her teen years in the Sunshine State, wrapping our heads around dark matter, and her new podcast, the very cool When Science Finds a Way!

Quick! Get yourself to the best bathroom graffiti you can find and celebrate it with Caitlin Cook, who takes us from the streets of mid-city LA and some classically catty high school girls (not Caitlin!) to an off-Broadway theatre for her amazing one-woman musical. Plus! A healthy M.A.S.H. scoop of lion love!

Celebrate living in the moment– which in this case includes “moments” devoted to excessive cheek blush, dead teeth, and the raw sexual power of Night Court and Three’s Company– from one of the creators and stars of NBC’s Best Friends Forever, Jessica St. Clair. This episode also requires audience participation, via several non-rhetorical questions for the listener!

Heads-up! This is a very special episode of The JV Club! In which we welcome Max Fun’s own Tom Lum (Let’s Learn Everything!), who may or may not have listened to The JV Club as a teen himself and is now a guest on it talking about his teen years. Which may or may not move JV to tears. We bet you can guess on that one. So dig into your Eggs Benedict and let’s go!

It’s been a rough summer for the planet, friends! So take this opportunity to smile at delightful Boy of Summer Matt Apodaca (Get Played pod) and his SoCal class clownery. So get those double jumps and hot wings queued up for a summery good time!

Hop into your time machine to hit the message boards in small-town Maine with this week’s divine Boy of Summer, Alex Steed (You Are Good podcast)! Journey with Alex for rides to the mall… and stay with him for the ecosystem of friendships therein!
