The long twilight of the Legislative Session is over so the Sioux Empire Podcast Crew (Robert Mehling, Seth Glover, Natasha Estes) join up with friend of the show Matthew Livingston to tackle things closer to home.  We talk through the recent crime statistics released for Sioux Falls and the communities reaction. The economic news for Sioux Falls residents as bankruptcies rise. Thankfully we manage to spin it into a thing about exotic animal smuggling.  After that Robert threatens Matthew until he finally spends some time reflecting on listening to almost all of the first 100 episodes of The Sioux Empire Podcast and how far we’ve come. This episode is sponsored by Macabre Grimoire Podcast. Macabre Grimoire is a podcast of paranormal and mystery exploration. Psychic/medium Ari Show, magician Travis Nye, and historian Robert Mehling delve into the dark places where mysteries go unsolved, events go unexplained, and the line between legend and fact becomes obscured. Whether you’re a skeptic, believer or something in between, the Macabre Grimoire will change the way you see the world.  Coming May 1st! Learn more at MacabreGrimoire.com. The Sioux Empire Podcast hopes that one day Seth will accept that Curling is the one real game of kings.

Theresa Stehly makes her triumphant return to The Sioux Empire Podcast this week to tell Robert Mehling, Seth Glover, Natasha Estes, and Dustin Buri all about city government and her adventures in amateur journalism. But first, Seth give the crew a little run down on “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce. A story Kurt Vonnegut called “the greatest American short story.” Theresa tells us all about her newsletter “The Stehly Report” and talks about what it would be like to run a small newspaper. She also gives us an update on last week’s legislative coffee and a quick rundown of recent city news. This episode is brought to you by Sioux Falls Sno Jam Comedy Festival celebrating comedy and…Snow! That’s right there is no other comedy festival like it. Thirty comedians from around the country will be traveling to Sioux Falls, SD to perform in various venues across the city. Over the course of three days they will perform in both stand up and themed showcases, not only testing their comedy wits but their endurance to the cold. All the while supporting a good cause. Net proceeds will benefit the Special Olympics of South Dakota. Kurt Vonnegut also once called The Sioux Empire Podcast “the greatest American Podcast.” Sure he died seven years before this podcast existed, but you’d be amazed what you can find out with an ouija board and enough cough medicine. Seth’s Book Club An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce, is “one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature”. Originally published by The San Francisco Examiner on July 13, 1890, it was first collected in Bierce’s 1891 book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians. The story is set during the American Civil War, in which Bierce himself was a soldier. “An Occurrence” is renowned for its irregular time sequence and twist ending. Bierce’s narrative, discarding linear sequence, and adopting the protagonist’s inner experience, is an early employment of stream of consciousness. Calling it “the greatest American short story,” author Kurt Vonnegut added, “It isn’t remotely political. It is a flawless example of American genius, like ‘Sophisticated Lady’ by Duke Ellington or the Franklin stove.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Occurrence_at_Owl_Creek_Bridge It has been adapted as a film, as well as an episode of the twilight zone and, has been imitated in popular culture thousands of times.

This week the Sioux Empire Podcast crew (Robert Mehling, Natasha Estes, Seth Glover) gets down and dirty with Sioux Falls Comedian Dan Bublitz Jr.  We cover how an unfortunate Homecoming tradition in Sturgis turned into a national embarrassment and a teachable moment.  Plus some bonus discussion of Homecoming traditions in small towns.  We also (master) debate if the infamous “Don’t Jerk and Drive” campaign created the current wave of public self-love terrorizing Sioux Falls parking lots. This week also marks the launch of a new bi-weekly segment on the podcast.  In Sioux Empire Book Club, Seth Glover will explore a new book every two weeks.  This week he’s telling us all about “Kama Sutra” by Anne Hooper.  This week’s episode is brought to you by The Sioux Empire Podcast Network, specifically “The Art of Bombing” podcast with Dan Bublitz Jr.  Also, Chaos Reigns podcast with Ari Show and Dominic Wieneke.  The Sioux Empire Podcast is now convinced that that was definitely a swastika on that car.   Dan Bublitz Jr. https://twitter.com/danbublitzjr?lang=en http://www.danbublitz.com/ https://www.facebook.com/danbublitzjrcomedy/ https://www.facebook.com/bublitzedcomedy/ That’s Debateable: https://www.facebook.com/events/1428370530613984/ The Cloud Lounge Mixed Tape Open Mic: https://www.facebook.com/events/184567902090053/ Sioux Empire Comedy https://www.facebook.com/siouxempirecomedy/ Ugly Sturgis http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/go-back-to-the-rez-spray-painted-on-car-by/article_045d8a27-8c39-5129-95be-3f24dce27aac.html?utm_content=bufferc8e5b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=LEEDCC Updates http://www.keloland.com/news/article/news/sturgis-brown-high-school-cancels-homecoming?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KELOLAND_News http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2017/10/12/racist-homecoming-messages-sturgis-draw-outrage/758929001/ Sports and Racism in South Dakota http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2017/10/13/perspective-when-racism-enters-realm-south-dakota-sports/761271001/ Wacking epidemic http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2017/10/13/police-man-masturbated-while-talking-woman-walking-her-dog/762771001/   Sioux Empire Book Club Alien and Company Tattoo artist Dustin Buri http://alienandco.com/artists.html Lore Podcast and Amazon Prime TV show: http://www.lorepodcast.com/   Tags and Topics: Robert Mehling, Seth Glover, Natasha Estes, Dan Bublitz Jr., Sturgis, High School, Homecoming, Racism, The Art of Bombing, Stand Up Comedy, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Huron, Giliberto’s, Huron Tigers, Wessington, Paintball, eggs, vandalism, teenagers, Flat Earthers, swastika, John Thune, Get Small, Red Necks, Public Indecency, Window Tint, Don’t Jerk and Drive, Homelessness, Public Transportation, Storage Wars, Ted Cruz, Chin Warbles Wafting, Kama Sutra, Anne Hooper, BoJack Horseman, Hugh Hefner, Comics, The Killing Joke, Cookbooks, V?tsy?yana, Skin Day, That’s Debateable, Zach Dresch, Skyler Bolks, The Art of Bombing, Open Mic, Podcast, Baseball, Yankees, Dustin Buri The post Sioux Empire Podcast 086- The Art of Dan Bublitz Jr. appeared first on TheSiouxEmpire.com.

This podcast contains adult content, listener discretion advised. This week the Sioux Empire Podcast crew (Robert Mehling and Seth Glover) is getting to the bottom of all the scandals and low down dirty lies in South Dakota with the help of Chris Biewer from Cosmic Rage.  After a ‘brief’ tangent detour (19 min) through North Korea and the War on Terror, we discuss possible vehicular homicide advocate Lynne DiSanto.  We also break down Mayor Huether’s tarnished legacy after he turned the Denny Sanford Premier Center into a house of lies with the siding lawsuit settlement.  Along the way, we also discuss broader themes of the economic and age divide and the death of optimism in America’s young adults.  This episode is also sponsored by Superstitions – A Psychological Spectacle.  From the mind games of Zac Tenneboe (@zstonish) comes his new show, “Superstitions.” It’s more than just a magic show, but a stunning one-man performance weaving mystery and theater. No rabbits. No top hats. No smoke and mirrors. Witness a different way to experience illusion.  The first 50 people to use promo code “siouxempire” will receive $1 off each ticket purchased online. Don’t miss out on this discount deal before it’s too late!  The Sioux Empire Podcast is firmly against vehicular homicide and feels sad we live in a country where that clarification is necessary.
