Full Frontal Nerdity

What a blast to have Shirley Hughes, President/CEO of Visit Fargo-Moorhead, swing by to make us think and chuckle on a beautiful sunny day at The Lights in West Fargo. Our first OUTDOOR podcast couldn’t have gone better—and we may have just discovered a future co-host (or at least a repeat guest). Safe to say, it was three proud nerds in their element.

We were lucky enough to have Matt Wilson & His Orchestravisit Fargo, ND, in the middle of a blizzard. Formerly of Trip Shakespeare, The Flops, and the Twilight Hours, Matt was gracious enough to share some background stories and musings. We also had a great time with his Orchestramates - Phala, Quillan, and Jacques. Great People, Great Conversation, Full Frontal Fun!

We worked to have an agenda that tried to steer clear of politics, both locally and internationally. We were about 85% successful. Latest movie opinions, some marketing speak...and snarky opinions that are solely our own. Have yours, we'll have ours, it's fine.

We were able to rope in Rick Gion for this episode. It's 90% about food in the FM Area, which is frickin' awesome to discuss.Rick also reviews his personal journey and his current Prairie Public Broadcasting mission. Thanks for taking part Rick!

We convinced Rob to come down to record at the last second due to a slight schedule change. Our Podcast producer Sam joins the fray..its nice to feature the kids once and awhile.Rob shares stories about the Fargodome, we share our frustration about losing the vote for the recent remodel - just alot of complaining really.Enjoy.

Alt and Fish get together for their first remote session to reflect on 2025 nerd issues. They also discuss the habits our culture seems to have adopted as normal – which bug the crap out of them. Plus, Alt is trying to swear less, so that’s something.

What just happened? Did we have our first "event" in downtown Fargo in the Aquarium? Which, for you noobs is above the frickin' awesome bar Dempsey's Public House.Jeff Cerise, hometown boy formerly of groovy bands such as The Phones, Stickman and Flint (A Hot Spark of Rock) was gracious enough to come on our podcast, invite people to gather, be interviewed and played his FIRST ACCOUSTIC SHOW!! It was awesome, watch and be amazed. Or just watch like 30 seconds so our viewing numbers look good. You're great, thx.

Okay, this one got a bit off the rails. You take three people who have known each other for WAY too long but haven't had a chance to catch up - you get a lot of confusion, overtalking, and maybe a bit too much excitement. Kristi joins Alt & Fish to discuss (amongst other things) her newly formed coaching agency called "Perspective Shift Consulting" https://kristihuber.com/Kristi rules, and if you doubt us, well - just keep your mouth shut.

Twas a very exciting day for the FFN'ers.On-location at Brewhalla!Conversing with Mark Bjornstad about the founding of Drekker Brewing and Brewhalla. Hear about their beginnings, R&D, interactions with the local police, and conversations about the potential visitors and convention bureau that might be near their location in the future.

Alt & Fish review themselves a bit and how to improve their podcast skills. HA...not really. If you want to hear how Fish works to not act like an armadillo and how Alt has hurt himself multiple times....and about his bubbles - give this a listen. If you want to, you don't need to, i mean it's here and stuff.

We are onto episode 3. They all thought we'd be cancelled by now. HA! Suckers!Joe Burgum swings by to share all the things he's up to - honestly, it's nuts.Check all this stuff out, we're tired just doing a simple cut and paste...can't imagine how Joe and his team feel.www.folkways.org@WeAreFolkways@RedRiverMarket https://www.facebook.com/wearefolkways https://www.facebook.com/redrivermarketInfo: https://www.folkways.org/nightbazaarRed River MarketEvery Saturday, 10am-2pmBroadway SquareDetails: The region’s largest farmers market returns for the season with over 80 local vendors, live music, prepared food, produce, artisan goods, and family-friendly activities.Info: www.redriver.market

Jade swings by the big frickin' table to share deep insights and thoughts. Well, not really that deep - more like at the brink of interesting - but still very cool.Alt & Fish have a cool conversation with our king of local music, Jade Nielson, and how/why he does what he does and what may be in our local live music future. This one doesn't suck too bad like episode one, we're growing - give us a break.https://jadepresents.com/https://nocturnalresources.com/

The initial Full Frontal Nerdity (FFN) podcast where Alt & Fish find their footing. As long-time friends it's easy to have a conversation - though it's only half-assed interesting. The guys discuss their early careers and Fish goes on way too long about WWE.
