Bingo Is Life: A Post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast

023 - Local shows are the bomb - July 25, 2023

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!

022 - Local Projects in the Burg - July 18, 2023

Episode, never been kissed, sweet 22 comes in from a strong Bingo night! Jay, Dan, and Britney join brothers Chris and Mike for another twenty minutes of hyper local conversation. 
Again, the Bingo Game Show was great tonight! Perfect crowd- even if though there was no big money winner at the end of the night. Instead tonight, we focus on the new things that are going on around our beloved 'burg.  
A huge congrats to Chris and Marianna, who celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary this week! 
Dan shares his latest project regarding social media, artificial intelligence, and climate change. Songs from the Chromium Age. 
And last but not least- Britney reminds us that she has a pig story that we have yet to hear...

021 - Recording outside is hard - July 11, 2023

The gang is all here. Dan returns and Britney "Mumshackles" Mongold brings her wit and whimsy. And for those who care- the duck is still with us. We talk a little Bingo- including our beloved game, "What's in the box?" But perhaps the "Who's in the box?" version could be interesting...
Tonight we were reminded why recording outside might not have been the best option for a podcast! Large groups, barking dogs, car horns, car alarms, screaming children, church bells and maybe a murder. Tonight we heard it all.

020 - A Special Trivia Episode - July 5, 2023

A special trivia episode! Jay was kind enough to do a deep research dive into some Bingo history. With a little help from our imaginary interns, Dave and Samantha. Since we have no one on quality control, all answers could be completely delusional... And bonus! There is a "password" in this episode that, if you're the first to say it at our show, guarantees you a free pizza!
