Alpine Strangers

Alpines Strangers is proud to present our new segment: "Coming Attractions", featuring exclusive previews of some of the year's most anticipated films. This week we were lucky enough to get our hands on the first teaser trailer for movie adaptation of controversial novel 50 Shades of Grey.

Since so many listeners asked what else they can do to help with the One Hen, One Rooster amendment, we have decided to pass along this new PSA!

In our first episode we examine how food (in this case fried chicken) ties us to the past. We set out to see if a memory tastes and matches the reality but end up getting more than we bargained for. Christina McFadden, Zac Grimm & Victor Jory share how their lives were changed forever by events stemming from fried chicken, while hosts Nate & Cody put the Colonel’s Paradox to the test.

Featuring original music by Victor Jory. To hear the whole song click here: Alpine-strangers – Donna-marie

Further exploration:

3. www.willieruff.com/linesinging.html -- American gospel music is based on Scottish psalm singing/call and response.

In our many travels across the globe searching for stories for the show, we occasionally luck out and stumble upon something truly remarkable by accident. This is one of those moments.

Discovered while flipping through the dial of our rented Dodge Viper as we were hurtling through the New Mexico desert on our way to RosFest (The 227 convention in Albuquerque). This is the future past of radio. 

This was our first published piece. It was done as a test to see how this whole thing would work as we were finishing production on our first episode, The Fried Chicken Chronicles. It is a poem written by Scott Whitaker, an amazing novelist, poet, and all around badass. The poem is from his chapbook, News from the Front. It is up at The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature if you wish to read the rest of it. We highly recommend you do!
