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.
