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 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.

Can you believe it? We are at episode 50! Celebrate with us!
And on this special occasion, we want to introduce two wonderful Bingo fans who took the love of the game to the highest of heights- holy matrimony Batman!
Hope and Conner, through the power of Tuesday night in Harrisonburg's finest basement arcade, found each other. Less than two years later, Hope is wearing Bingo shoes at her wedding and the reception has the Wheel of Fate!
"Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide Bingo, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is Bingo." - God, probably.
