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.

We are extremely fortunate to have a local favorite, Steel Wheels fiddle player Eric Brubaker, join us for the show! We talk music, bands, touring, and the beauty of community.
We also get a chance to speak to the goodness of the Red Wing Festival and its crowd favorite, the Red Wing Academy. What a great guy, a great group, and a local gem!

Our next podcast will be our 100th show! In the meantime, we asked our Artificial Intelligence overlords to listen to some of what we have done and tell us what it “thinks” about the Tuesday night show, Ruby’s Arcade, and of course, Bingo is Life: The Post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast.
“Kind of a secret society of creative weirdos hiding in plain sight” is a favorite line. The entire podcast is AI generated from the voices to all the word choices. Let us know if you think they got it right!
Thanks, as always, to our wonderful sponsor: Ruby's Arcade!
