Flagged for Content

That's right—Part 1! Tune back in later this week for Part 2!

We've got multi-hyphenate @BrianCham in the studio this week, as he's finally been freed from the embargo on talking about the new Minnesota flag design process. And who better to discuss it with than the vexillologist who advised the State Emblems Redesign Commission (SERC; hopefully now the title makes sense)? Brian takes us through the whole process from start to finish, giving us a look behind the scenes at how the process worked in this case. Turns out, they're all different!

It's voting season, VexHeads! And what better place to Rock the Vote than the home of Rock & Roll? We have Brian Lachman of the CLE Flag Project with us this week, as we chat about the final four flags that Clevelanders are voting on this month. From a very casual conversation at a bar to where it's at now, a *lot* has happened with the project, and Brian takes us through it all. Plus, a flag I can't shut up about.

We've got a familiar flaggy face on the show this week, as we sit down with Tareth Peacock to discuss all things World Vexillology Day (or "#VexiDay, since the internet is what it is)! Tareth takes us through the past, present, and future of this holiday that means a *lot* to us VexHeads, and we chat about where his channel  @FlagsinFocus  is headed as well.

It's back to school this week, VexHeads! And we've got just the man for it, returning guest Curtis Tarver. Curtis is back to walk us through the halls of his presentation from NAVA 57, a version of which is in the current edition of NAVA's quarterly magazine, Vexillum. And—just in time for school—the topic in question is the flags of fraternities and sororities on U.S. college campuses. Plus, we stuff a popular flag in a locker.

Red flag! Red flag! Thankfully, this time it's just good friend of the show Evan Dunker, stopping by to show off his impressive collection of flags of all stripes. Evan doesn't own a flag that doesn't have a cool backstory it seems, as he rattles off facts about his US Capitol flag, his impressive display of NFL flags, and explains to us what in the world "Red Flag Fridays" are. Plus, he builds all his own props and does all his own stunts!

Every point has a counterpoint, VexHeads! I sat down with Nicholas Signorello this week to chat a little about his favorite shade of blue on flags... but mostly the Good Flag, Bad Flag pamphlet that Ted and I discussed last week. Nicholas has some valid criticisms, some steadfast agreements, and a few takes in-between on the famous pamphlet. Plus, a couple disagreements between the two of us? Tune in and see!

We got him, VexHeads! This week, Andy sits down with NAVA Secretary and luminary of the Vexillology world, TED KAYE! Ted has a wealth of knowledge about all things flags, going back to the very start of the field of study. We chat about some flags Ted thinks fly under the radar, what it's like to be on the NAVA Board and how that all changed in 2020, and—of course—a detailed talk on the history and future of Good Flag, Bad Flag.

We've got our Maine Man Dave Martucci in the studio this week, as we pine for a simpler time. Fir all who don't know, Maine had a fantastic flag from 1901 to 1909, and Dave and other Mainers are looking to dirigo back to those simpler times when you could show your Maine pride in the buff. Also, aside from bad puns, we get into a missing city flag mystery(?) and talk about collecting Flags and Flag Accessories. 

Coniferous.

Could this be a (rede)sign of things to come? I sat down this week with Nebraskan VexHead Luke Schroer, whose interest in redesigning flags goes back to 2021 when the state capital of Lincoln held a contest to redesign their city flag. Luke's design didn't win, but it started him on a journey to eventually redesign flags for all 50 U.S. states and territories, as well as several fantastic upgrades for city flags around the country. His redesigns on every level show how good flags can be both distinct... and related.

The craic's 90 this week as I sit down with Vexhead Evan Stewart (Rowhouse Vexillology Project) to talk all about the peculiar state of flags in Northern Ireland. We go into different sporting associations' (and video games'!) flag choices, different ways of marking territory and how they've evolved, and as always, talk about hydrophobic paint.
