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.

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!

Welcome to this, our third season of this silly podcast! We always love to invite someone special for the first-of-the-year show.
And when that person cancels, we like to invite Christian Perritt to join us again. Frankly, he doesn't have a whole lot going on and just needs something to do.
Thats Perritt with two R's and two T's - for twice the rollicking and double the trouble. I think he has business cards that say just that. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! For this week’s episode, we are sharing a little recording we did mid October. Interestingly, this is what happens when we have no guests and Mumshackles is sadly away… Just four guys at a round table in Harrisonburg. Our conversation includes such topics as, Optimus AI robots, the MLB pitch clock, and Marshall McLuhan of course. What a silly way to end this silly year!
