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.

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.

Episode 25! We are still without Dan. Danless, if you will. Void of Dan. Yet, somehow we move on. Further. Onward. And so forth... Our friend, Erin Abbott, joins us tonight for a little moral support.
Bingo was fun tonight, still no $100.00 winner, but we experienced the regular Tuesday night miracles, triumphs and tragedies.

24 and there's so much more... Dan Easley is still out this week, but we brought back special guest, Michael Tavolacci for another funny, albeit uncomfortable, story from his always-surprising past.
We talk about the Bingo Baby that has started coming to our show and we once again realize why recording this show outside with screaming children and running busses might not be the best - but we press on! Forever further, another day in our beloved Harrisonburg!

The magical 23rd episode! Dan Easley will be out for a few weeks but we will keep on keeping on! Tonight's Bingo was incredibly energetic and we were reminded that Harrisonburg is a vacation destination for families. And rowdy, fun families at that!
For the uninitiated, we do explain how one of our wacky games work. Officially known as "The Bingo Heaven Cloud on a Stick." Can we even call the waving around of clouds a game? Who cares, we sure have a good time!
We talk about the Friendly Fermenter and a few of our friends performing there this Friday as the band, "40 Minutes of Something." We also talked about last Friday's variety show at Restless Moons.
What a great time to be in Harrisonburg!
