Mission To Zyxx

It’s the MaxFunDrive! Alden is here to tell you all the crazy stuff we’re doing for our 5th and final season - stuff YOU can help us do by joining Maximum Fun. Then we present an episode of another great MaxFun show, Dead Pilots Society, featuring our own Moujan Zolfaghari.

Over the years, many listeners have asked us for an uncut recording session, to get a peek at how we make the show. Well, be careful what you wish for… because here in all its glory is the raw recording of Episode 507 “A Little Ditty 'Bout Jakk & Shai’An.” You know, that insane musical episode we recently released. Stick around afterwards for a behind the scenes conversation with Shane, Alden and Seth. Plus.....

Which direction does a French horn point? And did Brendan’s high school Band open for Justin Timberlake? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s if you dare to venture behind the muzyxx.

Alden, Moujan and Seth stop by to tell you about three things: First, details about our live (and live streamed!) show on April 10th. Second, an announcement about our VINYL soundtrack release. Not joking! And finally, a sneak peek at .

Alden here, with a short message about the Maximum Fun Drive and a little peek at 520!

As we hurtle toward the grand finale of Mission to Zyxx, the seven creators sit down to answer listeners’ burning questions and talk about what the show has meant to us. Will we cry? Will you laugh when we cry? Will you cry WHILE you laugh at us crying? Only one way to find out, and that’s to hit that play button, baby...

As the crew zooms through hyperspace toward their final showdown on Mufalata Secundus, Bargie and C-53 realize they’ve left something unfinished. Nermut calls the shots. Pleck breaks down. AJ sells sacs and milk. Recorded live at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NY on April 10, 2022. (Stay tuned for the OTHER finale, hitting this feed sometime soon...

The wait is over. The series finale of Mission to Zyxx will be released on Friday, September 23, 2022 at 2PM ET. And you're invited to join the crew then for a LIVE LISTEN on youtube.com/missiontozyxx. We'll share some laughs, some tears, and the last orange bee-oh wait they ran out.
