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.

In episode 82 we take a moment to reflect on the incredible My Ragged Company Tribute Show. It took a lot of effort from a lot of people to pull together a show featuring over 20 acts with 49 musicians at the wonderful Restless Moons Brewery! So tonight we decided to process, bask, and appreciate.
One last big thanks to all involved! What a nice community of musicians, artists, business owners, and general doers we have!

Russell Shank joins us on episode 79! Russell is a local musician who has wandered around a bit, and fortunately for us, landed back in Harrisonburg!
Russell tells us about his piano playing, his shows in the local venues, and of course his experience with his band, Maggie's Last Shift.
With over 10,000 hours in the craft, Russell proves that skill can be directly correlated to practice time. If you are a piano fan of any kind, you've got to check Russell out!
