Bingo Is Life: A Post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast
Join Mike and Chris Howdyshell with Jay Zehr, Dan Easley, and Britney ”Mumshackles” Mongold each week in a post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast. We discuss, music, theater, comedy, the Harrisonburg scene, and course the Bingo Gameshow! Links to our topics will be in the show notes.
Listen on:
The Brothers Howdyshell
Welcome to this - our opus of absurdity. Each week on a Tuesday night at a basement bar in Harrisonburg VA we host a friendly little gameshow we call, Bingo Is Life!
We spin the Wheel of Fate, we ponder the Skulls of Destiny, we unleash the Swinging String Rings of Justice. And we sing about Bingo Heaven while we play Bingo.
After the show, we get together with our talented friends Jay, Dan, and Britney to discuss the zeitgeist of the day. Our podcast is hyper local, but universally accessible to anyone with a slight penchant for short, discussions on music, comedy, history, games, and of course- the scene in our little town of Harrisonburg Virginia.
Join us and enjoy the simple pleasure of living in a small town full of the most interesting and the most mundane. Take a break from the politics and any semblance of serious discussion. Laugh about something silly with us. Hearing is believing.

So much has happened since our last live podcast! We catch up on all the details. Mike and Chris talk about the big $100 winner from last week's show, the new increasing prizes of future shows, and the addition of Connect Four to our game show possibilities! The gang also processes the feedback from the Tom Petty tribute show. (What a fantastic time!) There's talk about Dan's microwave, Jay's upcoming play, and Mumshackle's Improv!

Unbelievable! We had our first $100 winner in three years tonight at Bingo!
This week we are taking a short break after the very successful Tom Petty tribute show - but no worries - we recorded a session earlier with our friend Christian Perritt to keep the podcast train rolling!
We talk about Bingo, the possibility of snow, etymology, and of course music in the 'burg! Listen for the phrase, "Unhand that lectern! It's time for my jocularity!"
Lots of links in the show notes!
