Bingo Is Life: A Post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast

Top of the Irish to ya and happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Jay, Christian, and Mike talk about the local zeitgeist. A little local politics and dancing. A little St. Patrick’s and potato history. A little nonsense about Italy and the tomato. We even have a hot-off-the-press announcement about some new music!
Take a break from anything serious and hang out with us! Even when we don’t have a guest, the laughs still shine through.

Take a special trip in local history with us! We welcome retired professor, musician, published author, and one of the godfathers of downtown revitalization- Dr. Bob Bersson!
Bob shines a little light on Harrisonburg’s creative scene from the 80s to 90s and shares his role in Citizens For Downtown. Bob and his peers helped advocate for a vibrant downtown scene.
A great listen for anyone who is interested in some of our local history!
