So, my wife grew up with yall and she started listening to this podcast and would always reference something yall talked about. I recently had Liz at our house this fourth and after so much discussion about backroads & bonfires between her, Kole and my wife I decided to start actually listening today at work. This is pure nostalgic type conversations that I miss about Iowa! Seriously started at episode 1 and I’m on 6!

A warm, Midwest-leaning show centered on small-town life, nostalgia, and humorous banter among friends. Episodes thread together personal anecdotes from childhood, 90s pop culture, local traditions, food, and storytelling that celebrate everyday moments, with frequent lighthearted debates and shared memories that feel familiar to a regional audience. A notable strength is its casual, conversational vibe and a strong sense of community, often anchored by nostalgic prompts (homecoming, state fairs, parades) and midwestern roots that resonate with listeners seeking relatable, feel-good storytelling.
