Laurien is my girlfriend and a student at Mizzou's School of Journalism. We talk about her journey from Massachusetts to Missouri, why she chose to be a journalist, the beautiful dreamcatchers she makes in her spare time and walking naked in the floodplains of the Missouri river. You can read Laurien's infamous “Pennies From Heaven” article here.

***This episode of Bowl After Bowl was originally published April 11, 2014.

Mike hosted his own radio show, RadiOrbit, from 2004 to 2008 on Columbia's local public radio station, KOPN. We talk about broadcasting, podcasting, drug laws, the psychedelic experience, “finding the others,” and then end the show with a little chat about Altcoins, namely Dogecoin and Bitcoin. You can find all the episodes of RadiOrbit on Mike's website here. Also, if you're interested in dipping your toes into the waters of Dogecoin, I recommend following two steps: First, download a wallet here (I recommend a desktop wallet). Second, download and play Dogecade. It's a fun and extremely simple app used to play games for Dogecoin and learn about cryptos. As a newcomer you will receive 20 Dogecoin just for playing! The users of Dogecade are very friendly to newcomers, and it was the first online resource that made Altcoins make sense to me personally. My Dogecade username is shibespence, so say hello if you see me playing battleshibes! We also mentioned subreddit pages that are good resources for learning more about Bitcoin or Dogecoin. I've listed a few below: r/Bitcoin r/Dogecoin r/Dogecade r/CryptoCurrency If you enjoyed the episode, consider tipping some Doge or other Altcoins to the addresses on the right of the page. Thanks for listening, and may your bowls burn ever brighter!

Today I met up with John Hopkins and Clayton Mistler to discuss the upcoming Ram Van Art Expo at the Blue Fugue this Wednesday night. We also discuss Bitcoin, voting, Kid Rock, Second Life and popsicles. Don't miss out on the Ram Van show! RSVP on the Facebook event page to let your friends know how much cooler you are than them. Also, as promised, the screenshot of ESPN's epic Little League World Series graphic fuck-up is below. Enjoy!

The title and notes have been republished as originally written*** We're kicking off Bowl After Bowl with a special election edition! I sit down with Mark Flakne, one of the founders of Keep Columbia Free, to discuss the municipal election coming up on Tuesday. We start with a little background on Keep Columbia Free, then we get into the ballot questions as well as some local issues including the city's efforts to widen Rock Quarry Road and an upcoming city proposal to lessen the penalties for personal cultivation of marijuana.
