Illinois Valley Podcast

The Illinois Valley Alternative Podcast goes against its slogan this week. For one episode and one episode only, John and Clayton discuss farming. Trust us, after listening to them butcher this topic you will understand why they won't touch it again. In addition a ton of topics get thrown around from the opening of O-Nett, the Superbowl Comedy Club, a shout out to the Vixens, and Dreamwave Wrestling. Rock on!

This week the IV Alternative Podcast tackles the crackdown on out-of-compliant pool drains, and the impact on Illinois Valley pools. We also talk about the big train derailment, some local football talk, and the cornfield manhunt. The show finishes up with the usual podcast/smartphone app coverage, plus a very unusual moment for Clayton... Rock on!

This week on the Illinois Valley Alternative Podcast, John and Clayton light up some synthetic weed. Ok, not really but they do talk about the banning of the stuff around the area.
