It’s not the music of Carl Ferris that intrigues the podcast host, it’s how and why he performs it, nightly, for thousands of people. Carl’s story follows recollections of how the host met, and reconnected with, one of his friends. 

Season 5 of the podcast begins with a long, sorted tale from the host’s past, inspired by the recent misadventures of his friend. From there, it’s a tribute to the Las Vegas showgirl, including a former showgirl whose story the host had never heard until a few months ago. 

Two factors changed plans for the final spectacular of season 4. The end result still includes a visit with a past guest, but it also includes a tribute to a game show host who died earlier this season.

The hiatus continues, and this spectacular offers a fun fact, a major announcement, new questions for a past guest and a Halloween nod to Highrise Joe.

It’s a little of this, and a little of that as the season 4 bonus content begins. You’ll hear new content from perennial guest Izzy Presley, learn about a new, convenient discovery the host has made involving Highrise Joe, (the subject of episode 45,) and enjoy the host and producer’s modern day …

It’s the season 4 finale, and the host is lazy, so he glosses over the history of a French woman who lived longer than you will. But not before he revisits his recent trip to Bayfield, Wisconsin, and shares a tidbit he has since learned about his beloved Madeline Island. And what does Vanna White …

Hundreds of people appear as contestants on TV’s “Jeopardy!” every year. So why was Meggie Kwait’s appearance so memorable? The host will explain as he learns many fascinating details about her road to, and appearance on, the game show.

In this episode, the host shares his fascination with island living, based upon a short vacation getaway to Wisconsin.  And then he reminisces about a lost weekend to that same vacation destination, 29 years ago.

The host has a personal connection to a woman he has never met, and he discusses her complex story in this episode of the podcast. And how does a woman from Texas, whom neither the host nor April have met, figure into April’s story? 

The podcast’s only annual guest returns for season 4 and discusses how current events are affecting him and those who live and work in Hollyweird. 

A Nevada adventurer who likes to explore the desert outside of her Las Vegas home may surprise you with a story or two from her past.

It’s time for the host’s annual recollections of assorted chapters of his life. This collection of stories revolves around the Great Minnesota Get Together (TM), culminating with memories of Aug. 27, 1993.
