Episode 1: That’s a Straight Up Uff Da!

*This is the last episode that will be posted on the Speaking of Tangents feed. So please subscribe to Midwest Bias podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Tune In Radio, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts! Thank you!

Episode 1 - It’s the inaugural Midwest Bias episode and in true Speaking of Tangents podcast fashion, the episode went a little long. Kj kicks off this episode by explaining the genesis of the Midwest Bias podcast and its planned structure. Next, it’s time for Questions with the Co-host (4:53) - with the Hall of Famer (HOFer)! They define what constitutes the Midwest, talk the Minnesota Twins and the lowly Boston Red Sox, potlucks, tater tot hot dish, Friday night fish frys, taverns, and tavern sandwiches (?). Later, Kj joins the HOFer to taste some Colorado brews in Taste Test with the Hall of Famer (32:25)! Then, they are joined by this week’s Guest “Expert,” Professor Brad Weiss (@1BradWeiss on Twitter), who brings along his East Coast Bias, plus a splash of West Coast and Midwest Bias (42:40). Brad shares his definition of the Midwest, they answer a listener question about Chicago, and Brad tries to sell us on North Carolina. Music, barbecue, donuts, and ice cream are among the many reasons to visit NC. Thanks, Brad!
A good (central standard) time was had by all! Taste Test with the HOFer unedited companion video (Time code to resume podcast: 37:30) : https://youtu.be/UtOwyg4BunE

It's Been An Interesting Month...

An update on what's been happening with me the past month. I talk a bit about that, then tell some stories about experiences I've had the last 5 weeks or so. If you'd like to contact me via Twitter it's @judofuse. Also feel free to email me if you want (and if you know that address.) If you are a person that likes regular mail (or Original Classic Mail as I like to call it... ok, I don't like to call it that. I just thought of that like 3 seconds ago, and the only reason I'm putting the address here is because I mentioned it when recording this episode.) Anyway, it's PO Box 116, Dacula GA 30019.

Oh, and good is up.

Thanks for listening,
Jason

SOT Special Break Announcement

tl;dr version -See you in October!

Well, not really see you... more like hear you. Wait, that's not right either... You'll hear us again in Oct! Or any time actually... whenever you wanna hit play on any of these way too many to keep track of episodes. That's a creepy thought when you think about it... having instant access to our voices and thoughts from a specific point in time over the past 3 years... And of course you have to think about it for it to be a thought, so I'm not sure why I said it that way...

Anyway, think of this month as a chance to get caught up on the podcast! And if you are caught up, don't think of it as a chance to get caught up! Because that would make no sense.

Thanks again for listening!
