Tube City - The Hot Dish

What this episode covers

Welcome to Season 2 of The Hot Dish Podcast! Erin and Britt are back and kicking things off with a deep dive into one of the most iconic (and chaotic) parts of 90s Minnesota childhood: indoor playgrounds. In this episode, the hosts: Revisit the rise and fall of Discovery Zone and similar indoor play places Share personal memories of indoor play places Explore why indoor playgrounds became so popular, and why they disappeared Pitch their own modern version: "Tube City" Interview former Discovery Zone manager Steve Storzinger for real-life stories from behind the scenes Let's just say… things get messy. From ball pit horror stories to roller slide disasters, Steve shares what it was really like managing a high-energy indoor play space, and why these places may not have been as magical as we remember. But despite the chaos, Erin and Britt make a compelling (and hilarious) case for bringing back a reimagined version of indoor play....minus the… issues.
