Illinois Valley Podcast

This week we attempt to educate everyone on the Hennepin & Hopper Lakes. This is a restored wetland area just south of Hennepin, IL. For the most part, this area flies under everyone's radars; so we are hoping to shine some light on the importance of this area.

Plus you get to hear John completely mind blank at about 22 minutes into the show. Luckily, Clayton is there to save the day (as usual). Rock on...

We couldn't pick one topic this week, so we decided to talk about a bunch of Illinois Valley stuff. This week's show touches on some fall activities like scenic driving, the Burgoo, haunted houses, and football. We also share our favorite podcasts of the week, and just a lot of silly banter. We hope you enjoy it...

Hey everyone. Well, Clayton and I actually spent some time researching this one. We found some good stats in an effort to release LaSalle County from the mythical belief that it is the second worst county in the USA, in terms of drinking. We hope you enjoy it, and maybe, just maybe, think better of our lovely area.

By the way, this podcast was produced a bit differently. It is a higher sound quality podcast, but I have noticed that if you listen to it on low budget earbuds, the s's sound a bit piercing. Let me know if you guys notice any issues with this.

Wow, can you believe we actually made a second podcast. What a victory in itself.

We are trying to catch up to almost real time so we will be bringing out a clump of shows to get things up to speed.

Episode 3 involves Clayton and I discussing the local movie scene. Arcades tend to go hand in hand so we also spend some time reminiscing about our days in the Goldmine.

Enjoy.

Here is the first official Illinois Valley Alternative Podcast episode. So why is it called episode 2??? Mainly cause we didn't know what we were doing and we decided to scrap episode 1.

This show primarily discusses our days as whiffle ball junkies. We also reminisce about our younger days roaming around the town. Plus a little about local news and our favorite podcasts of the week. Enjoy...
