This is the show that could have been “hella” cool, but instead settled for “yotta” cool. It’s time to buy your music festival tickets. Will you choose one that is near or far this year? Coachella, Sasquatch, or maybe Bonnaroo? Sorry, but no roller derby girls were interviewed in the making of this episode. They are busy ladies. You could win a small PBR refrigerator on St. Pabstrick’s Day if you’re at the Kalispell VFW on St. Patty’s Day. We tell you about this and many more events both near and far.

Roller Derby practice here in the Flathead Valley has been moved from Wednesdays to Mondays. Rumor on the inside is that the change was to be more accommodating to our gal, Dawn. Jam on it.

I’ve been gunning to change the name of our podcast for awhile now. I picked the name Third Place Radio and then “sold” it to a couple of friends. I must have done a good job with my sales pitch, because now these very same friends think it’s a mistake to change it. I’m not sure if they just didn’t like the replacement suggestions I had or if they are really feeling the “third place” concept. Either way, it’s pretty clear that some of our biggest supporters want the name to stay the same. So, wish granted.
The logo has changed. DC gave us permission to commandeer the doodle he did while he was a guest on our show as the new logo. Many of you may ask yourself, “why is the guy only holding up two fingers, shouldn’t it be three?” To which I say, “you’ll need to ask the artist.”
The website has had some major renovations as well. We have a pretty substantial amount of visits to our site, but not as many stick around to listen to a show. I’m not sure exactly why this is, but maybe some of the improvements will help. If you’re a supporter of the show we plan to pester you for your hard earned cash pretty soon. We’re going to have merchandise for sale as well as a PayPal Donate option. I finally put some numbers to paper and found that this show is costing me about $30 a month to produce. We don’t expect to get rich or even quit our day jobs, but if the show could pay for itself that would be helpful.

I finally saw Whip It! the other night. I had no idea so many of my favorite actresses were in it, so that was a bonus. Aside from the cheesy love story, I thought it was a really great movie. I think we’re going to have some local roller derby girls on the show soon. If you are one and want to be on the show, shoot an email our way.

Buzz Feed shows us why this commercial was that much hotter.


(It’s because in the close-up, they used someone else’s hand. Which is exactly what I was thinking about when I saw it.)

TV shows are always taking time off, so why shouldn’t we? The Flying Penguins made Montana state history by plunging into Whitefish Lake. We hear about that. Shel Silverstein is more than just a children’s author, something you learn as an adult. (No hacky sacks were injured in the making of this podcast.) Phone a friend, won’t you? 406-282-0869

Due to a recent decision by NBC executives and an alleged parking lot dispute between Moonsong Greentrout and Gordon Lightfoot’s security crew, we will be taking a little break from doing the show. Check with your bookie for the odds on whether or not we come back twice as strong.
