After a couple of weeks of R & R, we learn what the gang has been up to: Mitch almost kills his extended family, Aaron shares about the loss of his favorite sandwich and about "that one time" at Apple River, Wayne is boring and lives vicariously through them, one of the dbapodians may be expecting? AAAAND, our very first GIVEAWAY!

In our first double-digit episode, the guys talk about the fourth of July at the lakes, Wayne tries to prepare his house for sale, Aaron buys fireworks and gets free cats...and Mitch is just angry as usual despite assuring us he's not. Seriously, he's fine. FINE!

In episode 9, we bid farewell to a good friend of the podcast, former Iowa Information Writer Mark Mahoney. Ty Rushing came with because he couldn't resist throwing Mark under the bus. Hear about his great writing skills and his inability to be an effective wingman!

We also tackle the upcoming 4th of July holiday, haters, and more!

In episode 8 we celebrate 1000 listens, ponder the stuff we hear on the internet, and get political(ish). We also bash Missouri a few times. Consider yourself warned!

On a very special, Dutch By Association (cue 80's serious sitcom moment music), we speak candidly with our friend, writer, and activist, Ty Rushing about racism and its effects both in Northwest Iowa and across the world. 

Also, Wayne learns what God's chicken is. 

Please note, we cover some heavy subjects in this episode, so it may contain some language that all of us find offensive.

Old friend and cattleman-extraordinaire  Joe Nilles joins us as we talk about the NW Iowa things: beef producers getting the shaft, weird traditions, and how its okay for some people to eat raw ground beef (gross). Also, Aaron has problems with acronyms. Alot. 

In episode 5, DBA explores graduation under COVID, what college looks like and #lakelife (those who can do, those who can't, complain)

We're official now!

We have a new announcer, a new name and a new logo. But the rest....is pretty much the same!

On our fourth episode, we tackle the huge uptick in COVID numbers in Sioux County, bad plastic-cup-based country, and we put on our tinfoil hats as we look at the latest crop of conspiracy theories!

Episode 3 brings us our first guest and a new name!

Ty Rushing, managing editor ofIowa Information sits down with us to talk about small-town media, the 'Rona and what it's like growing up as a nerd in Kansas City.

Gov. Reynolds issues a proclamation that closes just about everything except gas stations and grocery stores and specifically CLOSES our public parks. We take a look at life now that we have NO way of entertaining our children without getting yelled at!

Also, we celebrate "National Beer Day" and Mitch starts to fight back after being the subject of much ridicule in episode one.
