The Mike Fotis Story Time Explosion Mike Fotis

Growing up in Chicago, I had no understanding of what a State Fair was. That kind of thing was a “down State” kind of thing. Of course, now that I’ve moved to Minnesota, I now understand what an impact it has on a community. The same is true of Iowa’s State Fair. All around funny and good human being, Andrea Klaassen shares stories about interning at the Iowa State Fair in this episode!

Bad habits can be incredibly hard to break. Obviously, habits like smoking come to mind when one thinks of a bad habit. Sometimes, the habits can actually be quite weird and definitely in the eye of the beholder. In this episode, we explore all types of “bad habits” and the steps people took to break them. We end things with a drama skit from Ferrari McSpeedy.

A few weeks ago, the Minnesota Fringe Festival descended upon the city of Minneapolis (not to mention about 3 blocks of St. Paul) and bathed theater goers in hour long blasts of laughter, drama, dancing and uncomfortable shifting of butts in seats as they watched a family member perform monologues that was let’s just say…out of their league. In this episode, we chat with technician Deb Tallen, volunteer Kim Garvey and Ferrari McSpeedy once again exposes humanity for the sham it is.

An amazing interview with Carin Bratlie about the many travels of her youth and how, quite by luck, she ended up in Minneapolis. Also, Jimmy Desimone shares a story about proper in flight behavior. Finally, Ferrari McSpeedy entertains you with another in their series of audio sketches!

Minneapolis is a pretty magical place. So magical in fact, that many of us have stayed here way longer than we originally intended. Most of our reasons for coming here aren’t all that interesting. Clarence and Nick have a very interesting story. It involves Alaska, hurricanes and New Orleans and a whole bunch more! Enjoy!

Who amongst us hasn’t had a terrible roommate experience? An experience that shook us to our core and made us question the very fabric of our ability to be social animals.

In this episode we will hear stories about cocaine, orgies, fighting in front of the homeless and college mishaps. Featuring stories from Matt Saxe, Taj Ruler, Emily Schmidt and more!
