Summary
Before jumping into the definitive Wisconsin Fun List, we’ve got a fun email from a listener about their first CD, and I'll tell you about my HOA meeting and the joys of Hot Dog Day. Plus we hit the Holi-Days like Brown Bag It Thursday and end it with Rhonda and The Tribune. Bonus for Premium Subscribers, we’re talking about Episode 10 of The Sopranos, "A Hit Is A Hit.”
Thank you to Aaron Brungardt for engineering, mixing, and production expertise, Geoffrey Tice for artwork, Bobby TBD for theme music, and All Things Comedy for their support, production, and distribution.
