Kinoma Notes

Max­i­mum Fun is the home of the acclaimed The Sound of Young Amer­ica, also known as “the pub­lic radio show about things that are awesome”.

The only way it could be bet­ter? Well, what if you could enjoy Max­i­mum Fun shows with Kinoma Play, the only mobile app with extra awe­some sauce?

We’re very glad to announce that Max­i­mum Fun shows are now avail­able in Kinoma Guide. Here’s are the “things that are awe­some” you’ll find there:

• The Sound of Young Amer­ica — Host Jesse Thorn (“America’s Radio Sweet­heart”) inter­views per­son­al­i­ties from the world of enter­tain­ment and the arts with a spe­cial focus on com­edy. It’s been called “the great­est radio show you’ve never heard of”, and described as “the civil­ity and pre­pared­ness of [Terry] Gross leav­ened with the good humor of [Conan] O’Brien”.

• TSOYA: The Col­lege Years — A pre-podcasting look deep into the vaults of The Sound of Young Amer­ica show. This is the ori­gin story, if you will.

• TSOYA Clas­sics — Clas­sic episodes of The Sound of Young Amer­ica.

• Coyle & Sharpe: The Imposters – In the early 1960s, James P. Coyle and Mal Sharpe roped strangers from the streets of San Fran­cisco into bizarre schemes and sur­real stunts. As explained to Newsweek in 1964, “We try to pose an almost plau­si­ble ques­tion, then pro­ceed step by step into absur­dity until the inter­vie­wee is seething.”

• Jor­dan, Jesse, Go! – This is a free­wheel­ing com­edy show about life in your twen­ties and every­thing else. It’s more free-form than TSOYA, with skits and guests like “I’m a PC” actor John Hodg­man, author Sarah Vow­ell, actor Rob Corddry, and var­i­ous con­tem­po­rary comedians.

• Stop Pod­cast­ing Your­self — The lat­est addi­tion to the Max­i­mum Fun fam­ily, this is one of the fun­ni­est lit­tle shows on the inter­net. It’s hosted by stand-up come­di­ans Dave Shumka and Gra­ham Clark from their hide­out in Van­cou­ver, British Columbia.
